Mike Wattel raised the cutoff and it folded to Marco Johnson's small blind. He three-bet and it came back around to Wattel. Eventually they capped the action which left Wattel with just 3,500 behind. Johnson bet him all in dark before the flop and Wattel called.
Johnson:
Wattel:
Wattel found top pair on the flop and was able to dodge Johnson making two pair or trips as the turned and the rivered. Wattel was able to double to about 80,000.
After a series of preflop raises, we found Chris Reslock all in and at risk before the flop against Michael Hurey.
Reslock:
Hurey:
Hurey flopped two pair on and never looked back as the turned and the rivered to give him jacks full of fives. Reslock was eliminated in 12th place and will take home $12,728 in tournament winnings.
Chris Reslock fired out on fourth street after he, Dario Alioto and Eric Crain each put in four bets initially. Reslock had a king-ace, Crain had a jack-queen, and Alioto had a deuce-four. Alioto raised and Crain called, as did Reslock.
Fifth street brought a five for Alioto, an eight for Crain, and a ten for Reslock. Crain took the lead, betting the final three streets, and both players called down until Alioto mucked after all the cards.
