Liptak Eliminated by Zhu

Niveau 19

No-Limit Hold'em

Action folded around Xu Zhu on the button, who raised to 18,000, and then called an all-in from the short stack of Neal Liptak in the big blind.

Neal Liptak: 10♥6♣
Xu Zhu: K♥9♣

The K♦K♠Q♦ flop would leave Liptak needing running straight cards, but the 3♥ on the turn shut the door, and the Q♠ sent him to the payout desk.

Zolotow Swims in Deep Water

Niveau 19

Pot-Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw)

Maximilian Schindler raised to 16,000 from under the gun, and Steve Zolotow called from the small blind. Zolotow asked for two, and Schindler three. "Three?" said Zolotow. "That's good news. Or it feels like good news." He then led out for 44,000.

"I'll peel," said Schindler, and called. Zolotow took one and Schindler two. "Am I good?" asked Schindler.

"You could be drawing four and still have a chance," replied Zolotow. He asked the dealer what the pot was, and when he heard it was 132,000 was taken aback. "132,000?"

"You're swimming in deep waters," said Schindler. But Zolotow found the courage to bet the 132,000, and Schindler folded.

"Just a bad eight," said Zolotow, shrugging. "A real bad eight."

Miholich Eliminated by Glaser in Roller Coaster Hand

Niveau 18

No-Limit Hold'em

Benny Glaser raised to 15,000 from late position and Kyle Miholich moved all-in for roughly 230,000 from the small blind, with Glaser making the call.

Kyle Miholich: A♣Q♣
Benny Glaser: K♠K♦

Miholich called for an ace, but the K♣10♣4♣ flop did him one better and launched him into the lead with a flush.

However, Glaser had full house outs and wouldn't have to wait long to hit one as the 4♥ fell on the turn.

But the hand was still not over, as Miholich could catch the J♣ to make a royal flush and stay alive.

Unfortunately, it was not to be as the dealer rolled over the 7♦ on the river, sending Miholich to the payout desk in 33rd.

Eveslage Eliminated in Subsequent Hands

Niveau 17

No-Limit 5-Card Draw High

In the first of two hands leading to Chad Eveslage's elimination, Raymond Henson raised to 15,000 from middle position and Daniel James three-bet to 45,000. Eveslage then moved all-in from the big blind for 217,000 and only James called.

Daniel James: 10♠10♥10♣4♦2♦
Chad Eveslage: 5♠5♦5♣Q♣J♣

Both players started with trips and drew two, but Eveslage was unable to catch up, finishing with trip fives to James' trip tens.

Eveslage had James covered by 12,000 chips so he would commit those chips in the next hand and get called by Henson.

Chad Eveslage: A♥10♥6♥6♦2♥
Raymond Henson: K♠K♥K♦Q♦10♦

Both players again drew two cards and again, Eveslage couldn't catch up, bowing out with just a pair of sixes to Henson's trip kings.

Short on chips, Ryan Riess raised 35,000 of his 38,000 chips in late position and was called by Richard Bai on the button.

The flop fell 3♠2♣7♥ and Riess checked over to Bai, who put him all-in for his last 3,000, which Riess called.

Ryan Riess: A♠K♠
Richard Bai: A♦8♣

Bai would need to spike an eight, but the A♣ turn and K♣ river left Riess with two pair and the double.

Nguyen Doubles Through Wang

Niveau 13

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better

Cards were on their back in an all-in hand between Scotty Nguyen and Yong Wang, with Nguyen the player at risk.

Scotty Nguyen: A♦A♣10♦2♥
Yong Wang: K♣J♠8♠Xx

Wang was ahead with a king-high straight on a board reading 9♣10♥9♥Q♥, with Nguyen drawing very thin.

With one card to come, Nguyen would need to spike an ace or a nine to stay alive and to his surprise, and Wang's disappointment, the A♥ hit the river, giving him the full house and the double-up and leaving Wang with less than starting stack left.

Greg Raymer raised to 4,000 from middle position and was called by Benjamin Miner on the button.

Both players drew two cards and checked the first round.

Raymer stood pat on round three, after which Miner made the decision to draw one. Both players checked and Raymer showed down 8x7x6x5x2x, claiming, "I'm a nit, I'm easy to run over. I would've folded to a min-bet."

"Stop." said tablemate, Ryan Reiss, while Raymer scooped the pot.
