Rousso flopped top set and led to the river where Fuchs sucked out with the case king, trippling up and eliminating one opponent.
Scott Fischman Eliminated by Andy Bloch
Scott Fischman got it all in with pocket queens against Andy Bloch's pocket tens. Bloch had him covered. The board came K-Q-J-9 in some combination, giving Fischman top set and Bloch the straight to the king. Bloch sucked out and sent Fischman packing early in Level 3.
PLO
Allyn Jaffrey Shulman Eliminated
Allyn Jaffrey Shulman raised to 550 before the flop and the player in seat 1 raised to 2,000. Seat 2 made the call and Shulman called all in for 1,375 more. The flop came J84, and seat 1 moved all in for (4,500 approx.). Seat 2 folded while seat 1 took the side pot. Shulman and seat 1 turned over their cards for the main pot.
Shulman: AAK9
Seat 1: AA86
Shulman and seat 1 were looking at a chopped pot, both with the overpair on the flop, but the 6 on the turn gave seat 1 two pair. The river was the 5, and Shulman was eliminated from the tournament halfway through Level 3.
Minh Ly Knocks Two Out in Same Hand, Peter Gould Hits the Rail
On a flop of 853, Minh Ly bet the pot (600) and just as seat 9 was about to fold, the floor person came over and told the dealer that the table would be breaking after the hand. Seat 9 made a rash decision to shove all in for 1,550 instead of taking his short stack to a new table. Peter Gould also followed that same logic calling all in for 1,100. Minh Ly made the call and had both players covered.
Minh Ly: Q882
Gould: AQ72
Seat 9: Q764
Minh Ly flopped a set of eights and seat 9 had made an open-ended straght draw. Gould was drawing dead. The turn was the 9 and the river was the 3, filling Ly and eliminating both Peter Gould and seat 9 in the same hand. The table broke immediately after the hand and Ly took an extra 3,000 or so with him to his new seat.
