Ausmus Gets Aces First Hand

Nível 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

There was a raise in early position by Chris Klodnicki with K♥10♣. Action folded to Jeremy Ausmus on the button with A♥A♠ and he put in the three-bet. Although Klodnicki got out of the way quickly, his fold let Ausmus scoop the pot to become the new chip leader. He made a joking comment afterwards that "I said to myself whatever the first hand he opens, I'm gonna take the chip lead right away."

This was certainly made easier with aces.

Nguyen Wins With a Cold Deck

Nível 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Action folded to Chris Klodnicki in middle position who opened to 400,000. Tracy Nguyen was next to act and shipped in her stack for her tournament life. The remainder of the players folded and Klodnicki snapped it off. He got the bad news when the cards hit their back.

Tracy Nguyen: A♦A♥
Chris Klodnicki: K♥K♠

The 3♦4♦J♦ had Klodnicki drawing thin as Nguyen held the ace of diamonds. The turn sealed the deal with the 5♦ and river was the J♠. Nguyen gets the pure double and vaults into second in chips behind Ausmus.

Eric Yanovsky Eliminated in 8th Place ($73,756)

Nível 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

There was an open in late position by Jeremy Ausmus to 500,000. Next to act was Eric Yanovsky on the short stack who sent in his chips for his tournament life. The rest of the players folded and action made it back to Ausmus who went into the tank. He thought it over for about two minutes before eventually sticking in the chips.

The cards hit their back with Yanovsky at risk.

Eric Yanovsky: J♥J♣
Jeremy Ausmus: A♠Q♦

The A♥Q♣3♣ flop left things pretty bleak for Yanovsky and the 4♣ turn and 3♥ river sealed the deal. Yanovsky would hit the rail in 8th place after an amazing showing at one of his first major final tables.
