John Hesp Eliminated from Main Event

Niveau 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

John Hesp

Earlier, John Hesp lost out with pocket aces against the jacks of an opponent when a jack flopped giving his opponent a set. That lost the Brit 35,000 and a short while ago Hesp opened and Jim Schweitzer three-bet to 7,000.

Hesp called and the flop came ace-high and Hesp bet. Schweitzer raised and Hesp moved all in. Schweitzer called and showed {a-}{a-} for a flopped set, with Hesp turning over {a-Spades}{k-Spades} for top pair top kicker. There was no miracle runout and last year's final tablist and fan favourite was eliminated.

PokerNews caught up with Hesp as he patiently posed with several of his fans for selfies on the rail.

"[The reception] has been incredible," said Hesp. "Everything has just been so lovely and fun. I'm just so so grateful that these people are enjoying my style of play, and everything else in that regard.

"The game of poker should be fun; those couple of hands earlier weren't fun, but it happens. I'm a realist and I accept that to get to the final table, it's going to be happening the opposite way to other people. And it did to me today.

"Right now I need to go and chill out for five minutes. I've got some buddies who will be wanting to know what happened.

"Hopefully I'll be here for another year, if I live long enough(!) The adrenaline doesn't last long, but it's great to be here!!"

"You guys can't bust me or Ray (Romano) or we won't go to the feature table," Kevin Pollak joked before the dinner break and indeed that didn't happen, so their table was moved over to the main ESPN stage. The secondary table features Phil Laak, Farah Galfond, Brian Altman and Aram Zobian while the third feature table includes Scotty Nguyen and Cary Katz.

As the film crews hovered around Justin Bonomo and the rest of his table, Bonomo gave them exactly what they were looking for. A double up.

Bonomo's all in was for 52,100 and he had tabled the nuts with {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} on an {8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} board. Richard Turner, Bonomo's heads-up opponent, matched the wager after rivering a straight with {j-}{9-} off-suit.

After losing another big pot, Joe Hachem was all in and at risk from the button and picked up two callers including Ronald Bernstein in the big blind and Rodney Hurlbut in early position. On the {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop, Bernstein moved all in to isolate successfully and the cards were turned over.

Joe Hachem: {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Ronald Bernstein: {A-Spades}{J-Spades}

Hachem was in need of running cards to avoid elimination and it was all over after the {9-Hearts} turn, making the {6-Clubs} river a formality.

Leng "Winning Every Pot"

Ryan Leng opened to 1,200 from middle position and David Theodosopoulos three-bet to 3,500 in the cutoff. Leng made the call and a {6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} flop was delivered.

Leng check-raised a bet of 7,000 to 16,000 on the flop and Theodosopoulos flatted. The {3-Hearts} hit the turn and Leng continued for 11,700.

The {6-Clubs} completed the board and Leng bet enough to put Theodosopoulos at risk, effectively 41,000. Theodosopoulos went into the tank.

"Will you show if I fold," asked Theodosopoulos.

"You can't ask that sir," responded the dealer. Which then sparked a debate at the table about the rules in the situation.

"You're so much better of a player than I am," Theodosopoulos continued.

Eventually, Theodosopoulos would find a fold, showing the table the {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}, and Leng dragged in the pot.

"Winning every pot, this guy," shouted a neighbor at the table.
