Steven Martin Eliminated in 16th Place ($2,300 CAD)

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Steven Martin shoved for 62,000 from middle position and was called by Senthuran Vijayaratnam on the button who covered him.

Steven Martin: A?Q?
Senthuran Vijayaratnam: A?10?

Martin was in great shape to double up with a bigger ace until Vijayaratnam made a Broadway straight on the Q?J?K? flop leaving Martin drawing close to dead. Martin found no help when the rest of the board ran out 8?8? and was sent to the rail while Vijayaratnam continued to add chips to his stack.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Oksana Kuzniche
Oksana Kuzniche

With two players seeing a board of 6?A?J?5? and 200,000 in the middle, Oksana Kuzniche bet 150,000 from the big blind and was called by Senthuran Vijayaratnam in the hijack.

On the 5? river Kuzniche bet 150,000, leaving about 140,000 behind. Vijayaratnam once again made the call.

Kuzniche showed A?4? for a weak ace while Vijayaratnam tabled A?K? for the biggest ace to take a massive pot. Kuzniche was left with roughly ten big blinds and would lose a flip with pocket sixes against Vijayaratnam's king-nine shortly afterwards.

Nakhle Wins Massive Pot But Loses a Friend

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

In a preflop confrontation, Patrick Atallah was all in preflop for roughly 375,000 and up against Paul Nakhle who had him covered.

Patrick Atallah: K?K? All in
Paul Nakhle: A?A?

It was the ultimate cooler for Atallah who had run into pocket aces holding pocket kings. The A?A?6? flop gave Nakhle quads leaving Atallah drawing dead as the rest of the board ran out J?2?.

"Easy game" a player at the table commented after the board ran out. Nakhle mentioned that Atallah was his friend and the latter player joked that they might not be friends anymore as he left the tournament area while Nakhle dragged in a colossal pot.
