Beauprez Folds the River

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Kevin Boudreau opened to 150,000 under the gun, and John Beauprez called from middle position. Boudreau bet 200,000 on the {j-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} flop, then 300,000 on the {10-Diamonds} turn. His river barrel was 600,000, and Beauprez went into the tank.

"I'm just not really a believer," he said with a smile.

Nonetheless, he got away from his hand after a couple of minutes.

Yazdi Folds Out Sandt's Top Pair

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Reza Yazdi opened for 125,000 under the gun and was called by Shawn Sandt to his left. Yazdi fired 150,000 on the {k-Clubs}{6-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop, and Sandt called. A {5-Clubs} hit the turn, and Yazdi thought a long time before shoving for 795,000 effective. Sandt thought for awhile as well, and he mucked {k-Spades}{q-Hearts} face-up.

Yazdi claimed he had {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

Geoff Vail Eliminated in 9th Place ($9,700)

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Geoff Vail - 9th Place
Geoff Vail - 9th Place

Reza Yazdi opened for a raise in the hijack and was called by both Geoff Vail on the button and Kevin Boudreau in the blinds. On the {7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop, Boudreau checked to Yazdi, who fired 200,000. Vail moved all in for 805,000, and Boudreau shoved as well for about 1.4 million. Yazdi thought for awhile and mucked a {7-Clubs} face-up.

"I'm way behind," Vail said.

He was right, as Boudreau had flopped a set with {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}, while Vail had just {a-Spades}{6-Clubs} for a gutshot. No fours showed up as the {j-Spades} and {2-Diamonds} ended Vail's tournament.

Boudreau Doubles Through St. John

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Kevin Boudreau made it 100,000 to go from the hijack and Michael St. John defended his big blind. St. John then led out 200,000 on the {6-Spades}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop, and Boudreau said he was all in. It was 610,000 total, and St. John called.

St. John: {9-Spades}{7-Spades}
Boudreau: {a-Spades}{4-Spades}

St. John was up against a better draw, and he failed to improve on the {k-Diamonds} turn or {6-Clubs} river.

Action went check-check on the {q-Hearts} river, and Yazdi turned up {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}, which Boudreau couldn't beat.
