WPT Champions Club member Tyler Patterson (pictured) is all in preflop for about 17,000, Ricardo Tavares is all in for 59,500, and Season 8 WPT Player of the Year Faraz Jaka covers them both. Here are their cards:
Faraz Jaka:
Ricardo Tavares:
Tyler Patterson:
Patterson is in a very tight spot here, as the only way he can win the pot is with a straight, and he can survive with a three-way chop if the board counterfeits everyone.
The board comes , and Tavares wins the pot with two pair, aces and fives and his king kicker to scoop the entire pot, eliminating Patterson from the tournament and doubling thru Jaka.
Ricardo Tavares – 140,000 (35 bb)
Faraz Jaka – 135,000 (34 bb)
Tyler Patterson – Eliminated
