Two More Out the Door

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On Table 1, Robert Georato was all-in pre-flop for 62,500 holding {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} against the {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades} of Ken Weinstein, who had him barely covered. The board ran out {8-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs}{k-Spades} improving Weinstein to a flush. He's up to about 138,000. Georato reported to the rail in 13th place ($0).

On Table 2, David Apostolico was all-in holding {a-Clubs}{10-Spades} and dominated by Shaun Hen's {a-Spades}{k-Spades}, but the board came {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{q-Clubs} giving Apostolico first two pair, then the nut flush. He doubled up to 105,000 and Hen was left with only 10,000.

Those chips went in on the next hand after Dave Hollenberg opened for 15,000 under-the-gun. Apostolico also called from the big blind and both players checked down the board of {9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. Hollenberg's {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts} took the side pot with Ace-high, beating a Apostolico's {j-Spades}{8-Clubs} and he also took the main pot, as Hen's {10-Spades}{3-Spades} made a pair on the flop but was counterfeited on the river. He was felted in 12th place ($0).
