Event 10: Tom Dujmovich Eliminated in 5th Place ($1,969)

$300 Seniors 50+ No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 22: 8,000/16,000 with a 1,000 Ante
Players Remaining: 5 of 160

Tom Dujmovich

Tom Dujmovich moved all in for about 120,000 on the button, and Carlos Sobenes called in the small blind, putting Dujmovich at risk.

Dujmovich: As7h
Sobenes: AhQs

“Come on, seven,” came a voice from the rail. It was Arlene Dujmovich, Tom’s wife, who was eliminated in ninth place just a short while ago.

She got her wish; the Ac7c5c flop gave Mr. Dujmovich a big lead with two cards to come. The turn was the 8d, a blank, but the 8s river counterfeited Dujmovich’s two pair. He and Sobenes both ended with aces and eights, but the Sobenes’ queen kicker played to earn him the knockout pot.

Dujmovich was eliminated in fifth place.

Carlos Sobenes – 490,000 (31 bb)
Tom Dujmovich – Eliminated in 5th place ($1,969)

Event 9 Flight B: Mukul Pahuja Takes One Out

$570 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 12: 800/1,600 with a 200 Ante
Flight B Players Remaining: 108/356

The player in the cutoff raised to 3,500, SHRP Team member Mukul Pahuja called from the button, and the player in the big blind called.

The flop fell 5h4c3s and action checked around to Pahuja who bet 5,500. The player in the big blind check-raised all in for about 65,000, the cutoff folded, and Pahuja called with 7s6s for the nut straight, leading his opponent’s 2h2d.

The turn was the 5d, giving Pahuja’s opponent a few outs to survive. However, the river was the 7c, safe for Pahuja to score the elimination.

Mukul Pahuja – 165,000 (103 bb)

Event 10: Tom Robinson Eliminated in 6th Place ($1,632)

Tom Robinson

Tom Robinson moved all in for just over 125,000 in middle position, and Scott Apgar called next to act, putting Robinson at risk.

Robinson: AdTc
Apgar: AhKs

The board ran out AcQc4dJh3c, and Robinson could not catch up.  Apgar’s kicker played, giving him the pot with a pair of aces and eliminating the former chip leader in sixth place.

Scott Apgar – 475,000 (30 bb)
Tom Robinson – Eliminated in 6th place ($1,632)

Event 10: Julio Silva Eliminated in 7th Place ($1,418)

Level 21: 6,000/12,000 with a 1,000 Ante

Julio Silva

Julio Silva was all in for 9,000 in the big blind, and four players entered for the minimum to create action on the side.

The live players checked it all the way down as the board ran out 9h9s7d8d8h.

Silva could only show 4c2d, so he was playing the board. Carlos Sobenes’ Ah5d and Scott Apgar’s Ac6h ended up splitting the pot with a matching ace kicker, so the two of them teamed up to eliminate Silva in seventh place.

Scott Apgar – 365,000 (30 bb)
Carlos Sobenes – 310,000 (26 bb)
Julio Silva – Eliminated in 7th place ($1,418)

Event 10: Mark Manesh Eliminated in 8th Place ($1,273)

Mark Manesh

Jerome Hyafil limped in under the gun, and Mark Manesh checked his option in the big blind.

The flop was QcJd2c. Manesh bet 12,000, and Hyafil called. The turn was the 6h, and Manesh moved all in for about 70,000. Hyafil instantly called to put his opponent at risk.

“I have two pairs,” Manesh said confidently, but it was quickly followed by an, “Oh, sh*t!” when he saw the showdown.

Manesh: 6d2d (sixes up)
Hyafil: 2s2h (set of deuces)

Manesh was drawing dead to a six, and the 7d river ended his day in eighth place. “Hey, what can I say?” he smiled as he stood from the table. “Sh*t happens!”

Jerome Hyafil – 310,000 (26 bb)
Mark Manesh – Eliminated in 8th place ($1,273)

Arlene Dujmovich

Jerome Hyafil opened the cutoff to 35,000, and Arlene Dujmovich three-bet shoved for 40,000 on the button. Tom Robinson called in the big blind, and Hyafil called the small remainder to create action on the side.

The flop was Ks5d3d. Robinson checked, Hyafil moved all in for about 75,000, and Robinson folded. With Dujmovich now heads-up and at risk, the cards were turned up:

Dujmovich: 9s9h (pair of nines)
Hyafil: KhJd (pair of kings)

The 5h turn and 6c river were no help to Dujmovich, and she was eliminated in ninth place at the hands of Hyafil.

Jerome Hyafil – 209,000 (21 bb)
Tom Robinson – 415,000 (42 bb)
Arlene Dujmovich – Eliminated in 9th place ($1,097)

Lisa Levy

Action folded around to the blinds where Lisa Levy moved all in for about 70,000 in the small. Scott Apgar woke up with an easy call in the big, and he quickly did so to put Levy at risk.

Levy: Tc8c
Apgar: KcKh

The board ran out Jh8h3s3d3h, and Apgar won the pot with treys full of kings. Levy, who finished fifth in the Ladies’ Event last night, was eliminated in 10th place.
