Qartomy Eliminated

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Ray Qartomy
Ray Qartomy

Ray Qartomy doubled up with {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts} against the sixes of Ryan Van Sanford when the latter opened under the gun and called Qartomy's ship for 40,500 in the big blind. However, it turned out to be a mere loan.

The very next hand, with the board reading {8-Clubs}{3-Spades}{5-Hearts}{k-Clubs} on the turn, Qartomy and Van Sanford got it in again but this time Van Sanford had by far the best of it with {k-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for top two.

"How do you do that?" Qartomy lamented, showing {8-}{5-} for a lower two pair.

He went bust after the {2-Clubs} river.

At another table, Erik Christensen busted, and the tournament is on the stone bubble.
