Fortunate Spin for Lin; Deyra Hits the Bin

zedmaster84

Niveau 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Ivan Deyra raised to 5,500 and Ren Lin went into a brief tank. "You already raised the last hand, maybe you have a really bad hand this time. Okay ..." Lin joked and pushed forward his no gamble no future patch.

The shove of Lin was for 70,000 and Deyra snap-called, then exposed his 10♣10♠.

"No good, you have two outs," Lin joked as he showed his 8♥8♦.

The inferior pair got there on the J♦9♦3♣7♦Q♦ board and Deyra was left with fumes.

His last few chips went in right after with the A♥4♥ and Alex Livingston looked him up with the A♣3♦. Once more, Deyra suffered the blow on the K♠8♣3♥9♣8♦ board to hit the rail.

Rabinowitz Hits the Rail

zedmaster84

Niveau 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Darren Rabinowitz was all-in with a severe short stack but got there with J♦4♦ against the K♣8♦ of Luis Marrero on a board of A♥9♦4♣J♥6♣.

"Tens, ace-queen, ace-king," Rabinowitz then mentioned as he recalled losing with big slick to a scoop by Levon Galstyan.

Right after, Christopher Rickerson jammed for 48,000 with the A♠8♠ and Jonathan Newman moved all-in over the top holding the 10♥10♦. Rickerson used the old "standing up and getting ready to go" trick and hit the ace-high flush on a A♥6♠4♠5♠6♥ runout.

Rabinowitz eventually jammed the last 9,000 and Marrero called with the K♦9♠. The A♦Q♠ of Rabinowitz went down in flames on a K♣7♥5♠4♥10♠ and he will have to re-enter in one of the remaining starting days.

Luis Marrero	130,000

Luo failed to improve on the J♣3♣8♥8♦6♣ runout and made her exit from the tournament area while Vasquez dragged in a sizable pot.

Kuznetsov Eliminated by Lonis

zedmaster84

Niveau 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Nikita Kuznetsov flat-called a raise to 2,200 while in the cutoff and Jesse Lonis then three-bet to 10,800 in the small blind. The initial raiser folded and Kuznetsov called, which led them to the Q♠9♠5♣ flop.

Lonis continued for 15,200 and earned a reluctant call from Kuznetsov, who then faced the shove by Lonis on the J♣ turn.

"How much is it?" Kuznetsov asked and the shove of Lonis was for 42,200. Half a minute later, the Russian called and instantly asked "do you have kings?"

Nikita Kuznetsov: A♠Q♥
Jesse Lonis: K♦K♥

Lonis indeed held the overpair and the K♣ river improved him to a set. Both stacks were counted and Kuznetsov was covered by a single big blind.
