Owen Eliminated After Missing All His Outs
Brad Owen was recently eliminated during Level 2 of the Main Event.
According to his former tablemates, a player in middle position opened and was called by Alvaro Vasquez in the next seat over. Brad Owen then three-bet to 3,500 in position, folding out the original raiser while Vasquez made the call.
On the rainbow 8?7x5x flop Vasquez checked, Owen bet 4,500, Vasquez raised to 11,000 and Owen called.
Vasquez moved all in on the 4? turn and Owen, who had about 40,000 behind and was covered, made the call and was at risk.
Brad Owen: K?9? 
Alvaro Vasquez: 9?9?
Vasquez was ahead with his overpair but Owen still had several outs in the form of any club or king while a six would chop the pot. The 2? river was a brick and Owen was sent to the rail early in the day while Vasquez picked up a sizable early pot.
