Slezak Holds to Eliminate Two
Nivel 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Former champion Cody Bartlett opened to 2,500 from under the gun before Bob Slezak three-bet to 7,000 from middle position. The player in the big blind then jammed for slightly more, Bartlett rejammed, and Slezak called as the covering stack.
Big Blind: J♥J♣ 
Cody Bartlett: Q♦8♦
Bob Slezak: Q♠Q♣
Slezak was in great position to score the double knockout until the 7♣6♣4♥ flop gave Bartlett a gutter. The 8♣ on the turn gave him additional outs but the 10♦ completed the board to give Slezak the winner as Bartlett was sent to the rebuy line.
