Husband and wife George and Diana, who are local regulars with a history of successful deep runs in and out of Playground Poker Club, found themselves all-in and at risk at the same time here in Event 10, but on different tables. Interestingly enough, they were in the same type of situation, as both of them had a small pair versus two over cards.

Diana was able to flop a set with her and vanquish the of opponent Yaseen Siddiqui for the double-up, however George suffered a different fate, as his fell second best to Ali Jouni’s , who flopped the nut flush and held on for the win.

With George’s elimination in 16th place, the tournament is now being played hand-for-hand on the money bubble.

The Main Event of the TonyBet Winter Festival is now hand-for-hand, as a few quick eliminations since the break have lead us to one spot away from the money.

A few stacks are dangerously low, and are virtually racing against one another. The most recent casualty was Andre Pelletier, who virtually blinded out of the tournament. Bill Kontaratos ran QQ into KK a few hands ago and has been on life support since, but is still around at the moment. Rayan Chamas was also crippled on the bubble, as his call with top-pair on the flop was outdrawn by the second pair of his opponent, leaving him with only a few blinds to his name.
