| John Lakatosh |
Local player Arnold Dinio has just been eliminated in one of the larger pots of the day. After the action folded to Arnold on the button, he would open the pot for a raise to 6,000. John Lakatosh would three-bet to 16,000 from the small blind (Dinio called) and the players would see a flop of 9
♦ J
♥ 2
♦. Lakatosh would lead for 17,000 and immediately get raised to 50,000 by Arnold. Lakatosh would call after a few moments and the two would see the dealer place the A
♦ on the turn. John would check, and Arnold would put out 45,000. Before Arnold could get his hand off the chips, John put enough chips across for a raise to put Arnold all-in. Dinio would make the call and the hands would be tabled:
Dinio: K
♦ K
♥ (nut diamond draw)
Lakatosh: Q
♦ 6
♦ (turned flush)
River: Q
♥
Arnold would start the hand with close to 140,000, but he'd end up out of the tournament after the river didn't bring another diamond.
Arnold was only the first of a flurry of bust outs to start the level as Matthew Su was eliminated by John O'Brien (A
♥J
♥ < A♠Q
♥ all-in pre), and Matteo Menna busted by Jacob Bazeley (KxKx < AxQx all-in pre).
