Schleicher Gets a Boat to Crack Aces

Niveau 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

The button moved all in preflop for 14,000 and was called by Gerhard Schleicher in the cutoff.

Button: A♦A♥
Gerhard Schleicher: 9♠9♥

The short-stacked button was favorite to double up, especially after gaining a wheel draw on the flop of 5♠3♣2♥, but the 9♣ turn gave the German a set of nines. The 2♣ on the river gave Schleicher a boat and sent the button to the rail agonizingly short of the money.

Fisher and Dopico Share the Bubble

jnoy

Niveau 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Robert Fisher was forced all in from the big blind as he literally had a chip and a chair with a solitary yellow 1,000 chip. Everyone folded apart from the small blind Vern Soeldner who was forced to call.

Robert Fisher: 6♠4♥
Vern Soeldner: K♠10♠

Fisher's thin hopes of making the cash increased after hitting a four on the 9♥4♦3♦ flop. The 5♦ did not change anything, but the 10♥ on the river gave Soeldner top pair and Fisher was eliminated.

At a nearby table, David Whittemore opened to 12,000 and called once William Dopico moved all in for 98,000.

William Dopico: Q♣Q♦
David Whittemore: A♥K♦

After the action was held up, Dopico survived the 7♥6♥5♠ flop. Whittemore then hit the A♦ turn, with the K♥ river only improving his holding to eliminate Dopico.

Fisher and Dopico were eliminated together, chopping the min cash for 469th place while leaving the rest of the field in the money.

Dennis Hall raised to 10,000 from middle position and made the call when Shinichiro Hatakeyama moved all in for his last 45,000.

Shinichiro Hatakeyama: Q♠Q♣
Dennis Hall: A♦Q♦

Hatakeyama was well in front with pocket queens, with Hall failing to catch up on the J♣2♥7♥3♥8♦ runout.

Hall was left with one yellow 1,000 chip, which he lost on the very next hand to hit the rail in the money.
