Double KO for Lee

Erick Torres

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Jose Sanchez began the action with a shove from under the gun for 58,000. Ricky Lee isolated by raising to 150,000 from middle position, and Jason Mccarty threw in the last of his dwindling stack to be at risk for less than Sanchez.

Jason Mccarty: J♠4♥ All in
Jose Sanchez: A♥J♣ All in
Ricky Lee: 10♦10♣

Lee had both covered and held the lead to start, and his tens held when the board ran out 2♥3♣2♣9♣9♥ to score the double knockout and send Mccarty and Sanchez out of the desk.

Erick Torres

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Joel Bearman got his chips in from the button and was called by Elio Comelli in the big blind to put Bearman at risk.

Joel Bearman: 7♠7♦ All in
Elio Comelli: K♣Q♣

Bearman held the pair versus the overcards of Comelli, but the flop gave Comelli plenty of more outs when it fanned out 5♣J♣5♥ to give Comelli a flush draw. The 6♣ turn completed the flush, leaving Bearman only four outs to stay alive, but the A♥ river was not one of them, which sent him to the cage.

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Short stacks are going in all over the place at the moment and some are doubling up but most are falling by the wayside!

Matthew Carroll moved all in from middle position for his last 101,000 only to see Jose Moranguzman three-bet all in also from middle position. All other players folded.

Matthew Carroll: A♦4♥ All in
Jose Moranguzman: J♥J♣

No nasty runout for Moranguzman on the 9♣8♠Q♥8♥8♦ board and Carroll was sent to the cage.

Serebryany Eliminated

Erick Torres

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Larry Serebryany committed the last of his stack and was called by Minho Suk to go to a showdown.

Larry Serebryany: K♥5♣ All in
Minho Suk: A♥9♥

The flop of J♦A♦2♦ deflated Serebryany's hopes of a double, but the 4♥ turn gave him some hope with outs to a straight. However, the 5♥ river was not the card he was looking for, as he was eliminated from the tournament.
