Ivey Takes the Rest from Bleznick

Level 16
Jared Bleznick
Jared Bleznick

Limit Hold'em

Jared Bleznick returned from dinner break as the tournament short stack with just 90,000. He managed to last only a couple of hands before falling at the hands of Phil Ivey.

Ivey opened to 60,000 from the cutoff and Jared Bleznick called in the big blind, leaving himself just 30,000 behind.

The rest of the chips got in the middle after the flop came J?J?A?.

Jared Bleznick: 10?6? All in
Phil Ivey: K?J?

Bleznick was drawing dead as even runner-runner broadway would fill up Ivey. As it was, the board ran out 7?3? to give Bleznick a flush but one that was lower than his opponent's to send him out just a couple of spots shy of the money.

Level 15
Aaron Katz
Aaron Katz

Pot-Limit Omaha

Aaron Katz raised to 50,000 in the cutoff, then called when Maxx Coleman three-bet to 160,000 in the big blind.

The flop came 10?5?4? and Coleman moved all in. Katz called for his last 90,000.

Aaron Katz: A?9?8?4? All in
Maxx Coleman: K?K?5?5?

Katz was far behind Coleman's set of fives and was drawing only to running cards to stay alive. The 3? turn and A? river were no help as Coleman took the pot to send Katz to the rail.
