Josh Brikis Eliminated Josh Brikis was short when he got all his chips in the middle with pocket queens. He unfortunately ran into aces and was gone. Steve O’Dwyer Doubles Steve O’Dwyer was down to about 70,000 when he got his pocket kings to hold against pocket queens for all of his chips. He doubled to 140,000 and now has some ammunition to work with.

Fortunately for Ionel he flopped a king and was able to double to nearly 700,000. His opponent was left with just 18,000. Poker Tweets:
