Event 22: Seth Davies – 5th Place ($59,100)

by

$2,650 No Limit Hold’em (Freeze-Out)
Level 28: 30,000/60,000/10,000 Ante

Xuan Liu limped from the button and Daniel Fuhs did the same from the small blind. Seth Davies moved all-in for 1,150,000 to get a fold from Liu but a call from Fuhs with KhQs.

Davies had more chips than Fuhs but was in trouble with Kd9c. He never caught as the board ran Jh7c6hAs2c to send a double to Fuhs and leave Davies very short.

Davies: 55,000
Fuhs: 2,200,000

The rest of those went in with Davies in the small blind and Fabrizio Gonzales received a rebate on his 60,000 big blind. Darryl Ronconi had limped from under the gun and dropped his hand when Gonzales bet the 7h6d4d flop.

Gonzales flopped top pair with 7c3s against Davies’ Jd5d. No saving cards for Davies on the Qs turn or 4s river and he was gone from Event 22 in 5th place for $59,100.

Davies: Eliminated in 5th Place ($51,100)
Gonzales: 3,500,000
