Several all ins by the short stacks have occurred already not even halfway into level 21. Mordy Friedman had about 240k and had moved all in from the BB facing a raise with AQ and called by David Porter who had him well covered and held QJ. Friedman’s Ace high held up with the board giving no help to either player.
Nate Lindquist was no so fortunate when he moved all in pre with A9 and ran into pockets Queens which held up to knock him out in 31st place for $1,862.
A couple hands later, Richard Sipple had moved all in on the flop vs Kevin Grabel on a A♥Q♥9♥ board. Grabel held AxJ♥ for top pair and a flush draw, Sipple held KQo for middle pair. The turn is a blank and Sipple calls for a king on the river. The K♥ comes on the river giving Sipple two pair but gives Grabel the flush to win the hand and eliminate Sipple in 30th place for $1,862.
UTG with just 10 BB Jeff Gibson moved all in with 89, UTG+1 Rob McGarry, trying to draw more players in, takes a moment and just makes the call with pocket Aces, but action folds around.
The board is no help to Gibson and he is eliminated in 33rd Place for $1,862.
