Event 1: Almog Bitton Bubbles

$250 Big Stack No Limit Hold’em (re-entry)
Level 16: 2,000/4,000 with a 500 ante
Players Remaining:  54 of 517
Average Stack: 136,000 (34 bb)

Following the eliminations of Rafael Lima and Rick Dwyer, Almog Bitton was all in for his last 2,000 from early position. Seminole Hard Rock Poker team member Stewart Newman raised from the cutoff and Michael Yenko defended his big blind.

The flop fell AhKs7c and Yenko checked to Newman who bet 10,000. Yenko check-raised all in with a covering stack and Newman tanked for a while before he folded.

Yenko tabled AcQh for a pair of aces, leading Bitton’s 9s8d.

The turn was the 8h to give Yenko a few outs, but the river was the Qd to give Yenko aces and queens to score the elimination and send the remaining field into the money.

Michael Yenko – 270,000 (67 bb)
Stewart Newman – 44,000 (11 bb)
Almog Bitton – Bubbles in 55th place

Following the turn of a 6d6h5hKh board, Cyril Gitten was all in from the small blind for about 53,000 with AcAs, trailing Jack Rolnitzky’s Jh10h in middle position.

The river was the Jc, no help to Gitten, locking up the pot for Rolnitzky with a flush.

Jack Rolnitzky – 250,000 (62 bb)
