Tsai Knocks Out Bitton
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Roy Bitton opened to 1,200 from the button and Andy Tsai three-bet to 4,000 from the big blind. Bitton made the call.
The flop came K?7?8?. Tsai bet 5,200, Bitton shoved for 35,100 and Tsai, who had Bitton slightly covered, made the call.
Roy Bitton: 6?4? 
Andy Tsai: A?J?
Bitton had a flush draw and a gutshot but was in bad shape against Tsai who had the nut-flush draw. Tsai made second pair on the J? turn leaving Bitton drawing only to a non-diamond five. The Q? river was a brick and Bitton was sent to the rail while Tsai collected nearly a full double up.
Elsewhere in the tournament area Upeshka De Silva was recently eliminated.
