$1,500 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed - Level 16 Recap

Average: 370,000
Eliminations:
Jon Von Halle
Richard Tatalovich
Big Hands and Storylines:
Ta-Ta to Tatalovich
Richard Tatalovich moved all-in from the button with A
Q
and Dave Zand quickly followed suit, moving all-in from the small blind. The big blind folded and Tatalovich saw the bad news when Zand, seemingly apologetically, showed his A
A to the man on his right. The board – 87525
– did nothing for Tatalovich and he was eliminated, taking home $19,570 for his 12th place finish. Zand is now top of the heap with 630,000 chips in front of him.
Shilyuk Doubles Through Devon Porter
The shortest stack remaining in the tournament, Anatoly Shilyuk, moved all-in for 85,000 from one off the button. Action folded around to Devin Porter who insta-called and tabled QQ. Shilyuk’s AT was trailing until the flop came AT3 and put him in the lead. The turn was the 6, which gave Porter outs for a chopped pot, but the river was a teasing 3, doubling Shilyuk up to 190,000.
Von Halle Hits the Rail
Shilyuk raised to 22,000 from the button. In the small blind, Jon Van Halle looked at his cards and immediately slid his stack – 160,000 – toward the middle of the table. Devon Porter in the big blind thought for a good long while before moving all-in himself. Shilyuk folded and the two revealed their cards:
Van Halle: QJ
Porter: AQ
The dealer peeled off 55298 and Jan Von Halle was eliminated, perhaps taking solace knowing that he’ll be leaving tonight with Katja Thater.
