Foxen Eliminates Velador

Nível 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop with the board reading J♦9♣4♠ and about 70,000 in the middle. Players were heads up and Alex Foxen had placed a bet to put Luis Velador, who was in the tank, all in and at risk. After some consideration, Velador made the call.

Alex Foxen: A♦A♠Q♣5♦
Luis Velador: K♥10♥7♠6♣

The board ran out A♦2♥ and Foxen's set of aces was enough to secure the elimination and take down a nice pot.

Monette Falls to Okamura in Four-Way Collision

Nível 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Motoyoshi Okamura raised to 10,000 from early position and received a call from John Monnette in middle position. George Abi-Zeid raised to 40,000 from the hijack and was called by William Kopp in the button as well as both Okamura and Monnette, creating a gargantuan pot heading into the flop.

The flop came 7♠5♥7♣. Okamura and Monnette checked. Abi-Zeid bet 65,000 and Kopp made the fold. Okamura raised all in for 232,000 and was called by Monnette who had slightly less. Abi-Zeid got out of the way, leaving Okamura heads up against Monnette who was at risk.

John Monnette: J♦10♦9♥7♦
Motoyoshi Okamura: 9♦7♥6♥5♦

Monette was in bad shape against Okamura's flopped full house but still had outs to hit a higher full house on the turn or river. Those outs never materialized on the A♥Q♠ runout and Monnette was sent to the rail while Okamura scooped what was potentially the biggest pot of the tournament so far.

Witt shoved all in and Schwartz called.

Marco Witt: K♥J♣10♥10♦
Noah Schwartz: A♦A♠J♠8♥

Winter checked the 3♣Q♥6♦ flop and Magott bet the pot for most of his remaining stack. Winter raised to put Magott all in and Magott quickly called.
