Event 24: Phillip Hui Doubles Through Kyle Keranen

$1,100 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 21: 6,000/12,000 with a 2,000 ante
Players: 35 of 828 players remaining

Phillip Hui moved all in for 115,000 from early position and Kyle Keranen called from the hijack. The rest of the players folded and it was off to the races.

Hui: Qd10h
Keranen: 5c5s

Hui needed some help, and he got it on the 2s10d3d flop. The Qs turn improved Hui to two pair, and all he needed to do was dodge a five on the river to stay alive. The 6s was safe and Hui shipped the double.

Kyle Keranen – 650,000
Phillip Hui – 265,000

Vlad Mezheritzky moved all in for 305,000 from under the gun and Bradley Snider moved all in for about 2,200,000. Koray Aldemir folds from the small blind and James Gilbert takes a few moments in the big blind.

“Give me a second guys,” said Gilbert as he stands up from his seat.

Gilbert took a closer look at how much Aldemir has, even though he already folded.

“I’m just trying to get a grasp on the dynamic of the whole hand,” said Gilbert.

Gilbert eventually folded and the cards were tabled. Mezheritzky showed 9d9s and was flipping with Snider’s AsKd.

The flop was AdKhTd and Snider flopped top two pair to take the lead. The turn was the 2s and the river was the Qh to eliminate Mezheritzky in 11th place.

There is a slight pause in the action as the final 10 players redraw for seats at the unofficial final table.

Bradley Snider – 2,650,000 (110 bb)
Vlad Mezheritzky – Eliminated
