Cary Katz Eliminated by George Wolff
George Wolff entered the unofficial Event #2 final table with the chip lead and that advantage has continued to grown. Wolff just scored the first knockout since the redraw, eliminating Cary Katz with pocket aces.
Action was picked up pre with Katz limping under the gun. Stephen Chidwick followed as the next player to act before the rest of the table folded to the big blind.
The chip leader raised to 45,000 and Katz called after a brief deliberation. Chidwick passed, leaving heads up action on the [8s5h2c] flop.
Wolff quickly bet 150,000 and Katz replied by shoving what looked to be just over 340,000. Wolff called and tabled [AsAdTs4c], leaving Katz and [Ah7h4s2s] drawing.
After Wolff drew out to take the chip lead earlier, Katz couldn’t do the same to dent the big stack as the [Qd] and [Jc] completed the board.
Wolff is now playing just over a third of the chips in play two spots from the official final table.
