Ted Gillis Eliminated in 23rd Place ($6,510)
Aug 03, '14
Ted Gillis and Austin Lewis looked down at a Q
T2
flop. Gillis had first action and came out swinging for 80,000. Lewis announced a raise to 200,000 only to have Gillis three-bet ship for what looked to be around 540,000. Lewis instantly called and the hands were turned over.
Gillis: 42
Lewis: KK
Lewis led with his kings but Gillis had many outs to improve and take the lead in the hand. Unfortunately for the WSOP bracelet winner, he failed to improve on the Q
turn or the T
river. Gillis hit the rail and Lewis increased his chip lead to about 1.78 million.

Chan Pelton Falls to Ted Gillis
Aug 03, '14
We arrived on the scene to see Chan Pelton and Ted Gillis looking down at a board of 9J310. Gillis announced an all in bet and Pelton called for his own tournament life of what looked to be roughly 140,000.
Pelton: J9
Gillis: KQ
Gillis was out in front with his turned straight and Pelton was looking to turn his two pair into a full house on the river in order to stay alive. Alas, the river brought no help to Pelton as it was the meaningless 4. Pelton was eliminated in 28th place and Gillis boosted his stack to about 860,000.

Gillis Doubles Through Sengphet
Aug 03, '14
After a series of raises before the flop, Ted Gillis found himself all in and at risk before the flop for his last 187,000 against La Sengphet. The hands were revealed to show that Gillis was in a dominating position.
Gillis: KK
Sengphet: 77
The flop came down 6AT, keeping Gillis’ cowboys out in front. The Q dropped down on the turn, meaning that Sengphet needed to catch one of the two remaining sevens in order to score the knockout. The river was the 4, ensuring Gillis’ continued life in the tournament. He doubled to about 400,000 while Sengphet dropped to 160,000.
