Dunkle Eliminated, Table 539 Put on the Clock

Livello 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Adam Dunkle shipped all in for 27,000 in early position and the action eventually folded around to Andrew Hawksby in the big blind after a few minutes. Hawksby quickly called and the cards were tabled.

Adam Dunkle: J♠J♣
Andrew Hawksby: Q♠Q♥

The board ran out 9♣4♣3♦10♦4♠ and Hawksby's pair of queens were just good enough to eliminate Dunkle and his jacks. After the hand, the tournament director instructed the entire table that they would be on a 10-second shot clock because of the excessive tanking.

Livello 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Chris Moneymaker opened to 16,000 with the A♦2♦ and Kfir Tubi went deep into the tank out of the big blind with just the 6♣ showing. Tubi eventually called and they headed to the A♠10♣5♦ flop. Tubi tanked for more than a minute before checking and Moneymaker bet 15,000.

Tubi tanked more thereafter and asked "you hit the ace?" before he eventually called all-in as his A♥6♣ was finally revealed.

The 4♠ turn was a "fun card" according to Dominik Nitsche but the 4♣ river ensured a split pot.

In the background, the hand-for-hand announcement could be heard.

Livello 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The action folded to Fausto Valdez in the small blind, who opened for 32,000, leaving 23,000 behind. Allen Shen made the call in the big blind and the flop fanned out 9♠6♠4♠.

Valdez tanked for a while until the clock was called and then led out for 15,000. Shen moved all in and Valdez again went deep in the tank. After a second clock was called, Valdez eventually tossed in his last 8,000 and the cards were shown.

Fausto Valdez: K♠K♦
Allen Shen: J♠8♠

Shen flopped a flush and had the cowboys of Valdez in rough shape, but when the board ran out 10♣3♠, it was the river that saved the day for Valdez to make a bigger flush and score the double-up close to the money bubble.

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
Allen Shen	520,000 -98,000	-98,000
