Mario Fata Eliminated by Eduard Burd as Aces Get Flushed Away

Level 17: 5,000 / 10,000 ante: 10,000
Mario Fata Eliminated by Eduard Burd

The clock is already stopped and all dealers are informed to stop their action after the current hand.


Said hand has Mario Fata all-in and at risk preflop versus Eduard Burd and he has the best of it with A A . Burd tables the A K and goes runner-runner on the J 6 3 2 8 board to reduce the field to the last 86 hopefuls.

Another Short Stack Double for Ran Koller

Level 13: 2,000 / 4,000 ante: 4,000

Ran Koller is all-in for only 24,000 with A J against the Q T of Victor Chong. The A 9 5 flop is quite decisive, and the 4 3 runout brings no miracle suckout.

At the flop T Q 5 , Fata bets 2500 and Nguyen check-calls. Both players check the turn 2 then Fata resumes for 35,000 on the river A leaving himself just 500 behind. Nguyen tank-folds.
