Dylan DeStefano Doubles Thru Lynn Gilmartin

Level 19: 10,000 / 15,000 ante: 15,000

From under the gun, Lynn Gilmartin raises to 30,000 and Dylan DeStefano calls on the button whereas Hugues Girard comes along from the big blind.


With the flop showing J 5 3 , Girard check-folds when Gilmartin bets 55,000 and DeStefano calls.


Gilmartin leads the T turn for 100,000 and then jams the A river. DeStefano calls both times and doubles for 212,000 on the river with A 9 for the flopped goods, as Gilmartin is unable to improve on her J J for a set of jacks.

Lynn Gilmartin Doubles Thru Jeremy Jehanne

Level 17: 5,000 / 10,000 ante: 10,000
Lynn Gilmartin

Jeremy Jehanne three-bets to 90,000 on the button and Lynn Gilmartin then jams for 497,000 behind. It folds back to Jehanne and he asks for a count, eventually calls without asking for a stack and shows his A K .


Gilmartin is at risk with the K K and has an additional sweat to endure until the 8 8 4 T turn. No ace or diamond follows as the river is the 7 , propelling the WPT anchor to seven figures.

Jon Kyte Eliminated in Three-Way All-In

Level 16: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000
Jon Kyte

Having lost a previous hand to be left with a mere 2,000 in chips, Jon Kyte is all-in preflop and so is Shmuel Bechor from the small blind against Lynn Gilmartin in the big blind.


Kyte's A 2 needs help, as he is dominated by Bechor with 7 7 while Gilmartin also has high cards holding the A Q .


The T T 6 T K board keeps the pocket pair ahead all the way and Bechor doubles for 266,000 while Kyte heads to the payout desk. Gilmartin's stack is cut into more than half as well.
