Kirk.brown

Nível 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Aaron Mermelstein and Thomas Middleton got all of the chips into the middle preflop on the stone bubble, with Mermelstein's tournament life at risk.

Aaron Mermelstein: 9♣9♠
Thomas Middleton: A♣K♣

With the crowd gathered around, the Tournament Director signaled to the dealer to run out the cards and the flop came 10♣10♦K♦ to instantly give Middleton the lead. The board completed with the 8♦4♥ to seal Mermelstein's fate and he was eliminated on the stone money bubble.

Smiljkovic Takes a Hit

Nível 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

A player opened to 50,000 from under the gun before a player in early position moved all in for 88,000. Daniel Smiljkovic in the cutoff thought for some time before calling only to see the small blind re-jam for 129,000. The original raiser got out of the way while Smiljkovic quickly called with the covering stack to put both of his opponents at risk.

Early Position Player: A♣6♣
Small Blind Player: J♦7♣
Daniel Smiljkovic: 8♣8♥

Smiljkovic was in a good spot to score the double knockout but was unable to do so despite improving to a set after the board ran out 9♠4♥10♣J♣8♦ to give the small blind a straight, handing them a near triple up while sending the early position player out of the tournament.

Orlando Has the Magic

Kirk.brown

Nível 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

On a three-way flop of 7♥9♥10♠, Carlos Chadha and Aliaksandr Shylko both checked to Jon Orlando, who bet 60,000.

Chadha made the call while Shylko folded and the two went heads up to the 10♦ turn. Chadha checked to Orlando who continued for 125,000 and Chadha made the call to see the 2♥ on the river.

Chadha checked once again and Orlando thought for a second before sliding out another bet of 125,000 into the middle, which Chadha called.

Orlando then flipped over J♥10♥ for "all of it" as a tablemate mentioned and Chadha promptly mucked his hand.
