Kurt Jewell

Kurt Jewell rode a short stack in the later stages of Day 2 and started Day 3 in a low position. Jewell needed to get a double but wound up losing a flip for his tournament life.

Yaniv Peretz opened to 330,000 in early position and Jewell three-bet all-in for about 1,200,000. The action folded back to Peretz and he called with 77♣ to put the AQ♠ of Jewell at risk. The K9♠6J♣3 board held up for Peretz and he scored the elimination. With the level about to go up, he is playing 5,700,000.
