With the bust out of Raymond Geary, we're down to two tables and we're taking a stroll across the Amazon Room to the orange section, where one of the tables will be on the feature table. Be back in a few.
Kevin Howe raised to 50,000 from the button only to have Raymond Geary move all in for 300,000 in the big blind. Howe made the call and they turned over their cards:
Howe:
Geary:
The board ran out and Geary was eliminated in 19th place. He will take home $16,275.
Pascal LeFrancois made it 65,000 before Jared Michelizzi, bumped it up to 130,000. LeFrancois thought about it for a few seconds before saying, "Show me jacks if I fold?"
Michelizzi nodded and LeFrancois pushed his cards over to the muck. While he did that, Michelizzi said, "You might not be happy you folded."
Scott Vener piped up and said, "Nice way to protect our home. That's my guard dog."
David Aue raised to 45,000 under the gun and had Scott Vener reraised to 145,000. Daniel Wjuniski, who was in the small blind, took his time before pushing all in for a total of 439,000.
Aue folded and action was back on Scott Vener, who went into the tank. After a minute or two, Vener folded face up. Wjuniski slid his cards into the much and added another 200,000 to his stack.
With about 125,000 in the pot preflop, the flop came . Saar Wilf checked and Jared Michelizzi bet 100,000. Wilf stared down Michelizzi before folding , with no spade, face up.
Michelizzi showed for a flopped straight. He increased his stack to 610,000 while Wilf is down to 500,000.
