Moe Bacharach (Quakertown, PA)
After fading a few of the early final table payout spots and doubling up a few times, Moe Bacharach couldn’t fade pocket kings when he finally got all-in four-handed. He held suited pocket aces but Tim Dalessandro flopped better to score the knockout.
The action was picked up with Dalessandro opening to 40,000 from the button and, next to act in the small blind, Bacharach three-bet shoved for 82,000 total. James Chen thought for a minute but eventually folded and Dalessandro called off his slightly short stack to try to score the elimination.
He held {Kd}{Kc}{Qd}{9h} and Bacharach turned over {Ad}{Qh}{6d}{5s}, meaning that Dalessandro’s diamonds were not live. He didn’t use diamonds though, as the {Kh}{5c}{3s} flop gave him a set and left Bacharach looking for help.
He didn’t get it, as the turn brought the {7d} and the {Jc} completed the board and confirmed his 4th place elimination. Bacharach will make just over $3,000 for his deep run and we are now three-handed with just a few minutes remaining in Level 17.
