Harvey Finds an Ace... To No Avail

Two players limped into the pot, and action came to Martin Harvey on the button. He bumped it up to 4,000, and Michael Palti re-raised to 13,000 from the small blind. The rest of the table folded, and Harvey put in the call, moving the rest of his chips all-in.

Showdown:
Harvey: {A-Clubs} {J-Clubs}
Palti: {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}

Salvation came for Harvey straight away as he found an ace on a flop of {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {9-Clubs}. The turn was the {6-Hearts}. Unfortunately for him, Palti managed to re-draw to the lead, plucking the two-out {K-Spades} off the deck to make triple kings. He eliminated Martin Harvey and moved up over 20,000.

Duckworth's Last Quack

Tim Duckworth has just been eliminated from the tournament after a pair of successive hands knocked him down and then out.

In the first of two, a player in the cutoff raised to 800 and Duckworth moved in over the top from the button for his last 4,400. Duckworth's opponent made the call and tabled a pocket pair of eights; Duckworth tabled {A-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} and was in bad shape. The board filled out nine-high and Duckworth was left with 750 chips heading into the next hand:

Preflop, Van Marcus raised to 600 and Duckworth moved in for his remaining 750. Marcus was the lone caller and his {K-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} bested Duckworth's {A-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} after the board ran out {K-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}.

Mc-Done-agh

Danny McDonagh - Eliminated
Danny McDonagh - Eliminated
Danny McDonagh moved all in for his last 1,075 chips before the flop, and he was called by two players, including Nali Kaselias. The two live players checked the board down as it came {Q-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {J-Spades}.

McDonagh tabled {A-Clubs} {9-Hearts} for a miss, while Kaselias rolled over {A-Diamonds} {2-Spades}. His pair of deuces was enough to win the pot and send Danny McDonagh to the exit.

Aces Hold for Debsia

The player in the cutoff raised to 700 and Tony Hachem called on the button. Camil Debsia was in the small blind, and reraised to 3,600. The cutoff then moved all-in, which prompted Hachem to respond, "They won't let me see a flop on this table!"

Debsia made the call.

Showdown:
Debsia: {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}
Opponent: {10-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}

With the board running out {8-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {K-Clubs}, Debsia scored the elimination of his opponent and moved up to 18,000 chips.

Michael "Shark Boy" Palti opened with a raise to 900 under the gun, and Kim Peart moved all in for a total of 3,300. Palti called, having his opponent covered. Peart tabled {A-Clubs} {K-Spades} and was in good shape versus Palti's {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}.

Trouble found Peart on the river though, as the community cards came {3-Spades} {3-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {Q-Spades}. She sent the rest of her chips over to Palti on a three-outer and heads to the rail.

Marvelous Marvanek

The board came {3-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {10-Clubs} {8-Clubs}, and Marvanek knocked out a player, chipping his way up to 20,000.
