Niveau 13 : Limits 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Another four players have been eliminated as of recently and among them was also Daniel Zhu. All-in with a short stack on a three-way flop of Q♠9♦5♠, he was up against Zachary Freeman and Yuri Dzivielevski. Freeman check-called bets by Dzivielevski on the flop as well as the A♥ turn to then check-fold the 9♣ river.

Dzivielevski revealed his Q♥Q♦4♦2♣ for queens full of nines and Zhu tossed his cards into the muck.

"That was a big turn for me," Freeman mentioned in table chat and later added "flush draw and deuce three".

"It was a big turn for me also, four deuce," Dzivielevski replied as he raked in the pot.

A short-stacked Brandon Shack-Harris was all-in after the J♣6♥5♦ flop for 18,000 and a side pot played out between Christopher Stephan and Nacho Barbero. They continued to get bets in after the 3♣ turn and Q♦ river as the cards were exposed.

Shack-Harris' A♠Q♣8♦4♥ for a pair of queens and second nut low was scooped, as Stephan's A♦J♦4♦2♦ had a straight and nut low. Barbero chopped the low with A♣8♣3♥2♣ as Stephan won most of the chips throughout the hand.

More for Seidel as the Eliminations Keep Coming

zedmaster84

Niveau 14 : Limits 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

In three-way action, Erik Seidel bet all the way on a board of 8♠4♠3♣Q♥6♠. Craig Chait folded on the river while Steve Chanthabouasy reluctantly called and Seidel then tabled his A♦Q♠J♥5♠ for a queen-high flush and six-low. That was good enough for the scoop as Chanthabouasy briefly exposed an inferior flush and low with the 5♣5♥2♠Xx.

After the hand was over, Brad Ruben was moved over to table 138 to balance as Van Law and Benjamin Gold had been eliminated. Mike Gorodinsky also lost the last of his short stack moments later and that reduced the field to the last 44 hopefuls.
