Tim Margolis (Silver Spring, MD)
The Adi Prasetyo Show has continued into Level 18, as he just scored two back to back eliminations to bring this Event 7 field down to just five players. Tim Margolis came back for this Day 2 session with just 6,500 chips and on the first two hands, he managed to find doubles. That gave him some more room to work and allowed him to ladder but eventually, he ran his short stack into Prasetyo.
Margolis was all-in on a hand of Omaha H/L with {Ac}{9c}{6s}{3s} and the big stack held {Js}{5h}{4s}{4h}.
Margolis flopped two pair on the {9h}{3d}{2s} flop but Prasetyo hit the {Ad} on the turn, to give himself a straight. The short stack needed to hit on the river but his full house didn’t come in, as the {8h} completed the board.
Jerry Yavner (Atlantic City, NJ)
He’ll take home $883 for his 7th place finish and a few hands later, in another game of Omaha H/L, Prasetyo was hitting another straight to send Jerry Yavner to the rail.
That hand was picked up on the turn, with Prasetyo leading for a 20,000 chip bet from the blind on a board of {Kc}{9d}{7s}{5h}. Yavner moved all-in as the next player to act, for just 35,500 and Daniel Amar folded on the button.
Prasetyo got a count and ran some numbers and then called, exclaiming, “Put a jack out there.” as he saw Yavner table {As}{8c}{6c}{2d}. Prasetyo held {Ad}{Qh}{10h}{7d} and he got what he asked for on the river, as the {Js} gave him a bigger straight and the entire pot.
Yavner will make $1,059 for his 6th place finish and Adi Prasetyo is now playing close to 550,000, over half the total chips in play.
