Andrea is on a heater.
Fresh off her previous knockout, she scores a back‑to‑back elimination, sending Keith Quilty out in 5th place. Quilty moved all in with J♣J♥, looking to double, but Andrea made the call with A♥6♣.
The board ran clean for her, and despite Keith’s premium starting hand, Andrea’s ace‑high held through the runout to take the pot and the knockout.
22:32-Level 28 (150,000/100,000/150,000)
We’re down to the final five in the $100K GTD Winter Deep Stack after a massive three‑way all‑in that sent Gary Boone to the rail in 6th place.
The action kicked off preflop with all three players moving their stacks in:
- Joshua Morgan: J♥J♦
- Andrea Finkelstein: Q♥Q♦
- Gary Boone: A♦3♥
Boone was looking to spike an ace or find some runout magic, but the board didn’t cooperate:
Flop: 6♣ 8♥ 10♦
Turn: 10♠
River: K♠
Andrea’s queens held strong throughout, securing the double through Joshua and eliminating Gary in the process.
22:20-Level 28 (150,000/100,000/150,000)
Eric Dillon has been eliminated in 7th place after a roller‑coaster showdown against Joshua Morgan.
Dillon moved all in holding J♠10♣, while Morgan called with 9♣8♠.
The board ran out:
- Flop: 8 ♣ 4♣ 9 ♥ — Morgan flopped two pair, while Dillon picked up an open-ended straight draw.
- Turn: 7 ♦ — Dillon completed his straight, surging into the lead.
- River: 9 ♠ — a dramatic river card that paired the board and gave Morgan a full house, sealing Dillon’s fate.
A massive swing of momentum sends Joshua Morgan’s stack climbing even higher as we head into six‑handed play.
