Cherry Doubles; Zanette Eliminated
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
In what started as a limped pot, the action escalated on the K?7?5?8? turn with Roy Bitton on the button taking on Norman Cherry in the big blind. Cherry had the best of it with 9?6? for the high end of the straight while Bitton only had the 6?4? for the bottom end.
Nothing changed with the Q? river and Cherry doubled for 248,000.
One table over, Massimo Zanette open-jammed for the last 76,000 and Alvin Pillay called out of the blinds.
Massimo Zanette: K?K? 
Alvin Pillay: A?J?
The suited ace got there on the A?9?5?8?A? board to reduce the field to the last 45 hopefuls.
