Bracken Ships Three-Way All-in; Brown Eliminated

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante

We caught up with some major action on Table 3 and found Kevin Brown and Darrin Bracken both all-in preflop. Tyler Hutchinson was also involved and had both covered.

Bracken: {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Brown: {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}
Hutchinson: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}

The dealer slowly rolled out a {3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{5-Spades}{9-Hearts} board and Bracken scooped a massive pot. Brown began his trek to the cage in 17th place.

Banai Busts Illig With Bold Call

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante

With the flop showing {Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, Siavash Banai bet 55,000 and Greg Illig moved all in for 198,000. Banai sat back in his seat and pondered a decision for more than a minute. He eventually opted to call with just second pair — and was ahead.

Banai: {K-Spades}{9-Spades}
Illig: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}

Banai needed to fade a flush draw and managed to do just that as the {Q-Clubs} and {6-Spades} completed the board. Illig exited in 20th place.
