Three to the Money

$2000 +$200 Deep Stack No Limit Hold'em
Championship Event Day 3

Harry Piacitelli moved his short-stack in and Jay Johnson looked him up with pocket Kings. Harry's A4 would need help for him to survive. A King hit the board, putting help out of reach. Harry was busted.

On the river with a board of J T 5 K J, Daniel Lee checked to Mike Devinsky, who bet 50k. Daniel gave it some thought, then called. Mike showed AQ for the Broadway straight. Daniel mucked.

Joanne Monteavaro was all in for her last 40k, but got no takers.

In a battle of the blinds, Arben Kupi (small) was all-in against Jia Liu (big). Arben's A8 had Jia's 83 dominated. Board came A T 9 2 5 and Arben doubled up - to about 25k.

Arben was all-in again, but got no takers and collected the blinds and antes.

Play continued into Level 16, blinds 2,500/5,000 with 400 antes.

Arben Kupi was all-in again, against Jia Liu, again. This time Arben's AJ was racing against Jia's pocket Tens. The board came K J 2 5 J and Arben doubled, again. He's up to about 70k now.
