Lo Resets His Stack

Laura Fryer

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Michael Collins was in the small blind and covered Penh Lo who was in the big blind and already all in for his remaining 36,500 stack.

Penh Lo: K♠Q♥ All in
Michael Collins: A♣K♣

Collins was ahead on both the 5♦6♥5♠ flop, and the 3♦ turn but Lo stole the pot on the Q♦ river, which saved him from elimination.

Players shared some table talk right after the hand when the chips were being collected, with Lo saying "Woohoo, that's right back up to what I started the day with. I am exactly where I was".

In the hand straight after, the pair went head-to-head again, with Collins raising the button and Lo jamming. Collins gave this one up and Lo chipped off some more of Collins stack.

Michael Collins	138,000 4,000	4,000

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

David Gonzalez had already opened from a middle position and got a call from Hans Bosman in the cutoff. Howard Feingold moved all in from the small blind for around 11,000. Gonzalez re-raised to 11,500 to cover and Bosman folded, leaving the players to go heads-up.

Howard Feingold: 10♦Q♦ All in
David Gonzalez: 8♥8♣

Feingold picked up a pair of tens on the 10♠J♠8♠ flop, but Gonzalez had hit a set of eights keeping him ahead.

The 7♣ turn saw Feingold celebrate as he thought he has secured the straight, but not realising there wasn't a nine on the board.

Feingold saw the 5♣ river and was still convinced he has won the hand, but another player at the table said, "wait, what straight?" and Feingold realised he had lost and was eliminated from the tournament.
