Event 24: Devon Shalmi Doubles Through Marc Duquette

$1,100 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 22: 8,000/16,000 with a 2,000 ante
Players: 29 of 828 players remaining

Devon Shalmi moved all in from the cutoff for 293,000 and Marc Duquette called from the big blind.

Shalmi: AcQs
Duquette: QcQh

Shalmi’s best hope of staying alive was to catch an ace, which is just what he did on the 3h7hAs flop. Neither the 10d turn nor 6d river was the case queen, and Duquette sent most of his chips across the table.

Devon Shalmi – 600,000
Marc Duquette – 60,000

After losing with AcJs to Chance Kornuth’s JdJh, Jorge Gomez got it in for about 215,000 with Ac8d against Ray Qartomy’s As9d.

The board ran out 10h9c4d8sKc, giving Qartomy a pair of nines to eliminate Gomez.

Ray Qartomy – 750,000 (62 bb)

Shaun Deeb opened the button to 26,000, and Joe Kuether three-bet to 68,000 in the small blind. Deeb moved all in for about 350,000 total, and Kuether called to put him at risk.

Deeb: KcQs
Kuether: AdJd

The board ran out AcTc8hKdAh, and Kuether won the pot with trip aces. Deeb was eliminated.

Level 22: 8,000/16,000 with a 2,000 ante
Players: 30 of 828 players remaining

Guy Smith put in a raise from the hijack and was met by an all-in three-bet to 275,000 or so by Josh Field in the small blind. Smith made a quick call and Field discovered the bad news.

Smith: JdJh
Field: 8h8d

Field was in desperate need of an eight, but he was left wanting as the board ran out an unhelpful QdAsQh7s7h.

Guy Smith – 700,000
Josh Field – Eliminated
