With around 15K already weighing down the middle of the felt, Quang Nguyen moved all in on a board showing 4♠ 10♣ 4♣. He seized the pot but only after a player tanked for some time then folded.
Catching the action at the flop of 7♣ 6♣ 6♥, Michael Falcon on the bb seat rolled out 3800 chips and was called by Yu Kurita. On the turn of K♥ action went to a halt with both checking their option, and same as on the river of 9♥. Falcon showed his 7♥ 4♣ but it wasn’t good enough against Kurita’s higher pair with 10♣ 9♣.
Looking for an opportunity to double up, Darshan Sami shoved his remaining 3700 chips and was snap-called by a player in the sb seat. Sami held Q♣ 10♦ which was sorely behind his opponent’s K♣ Q♦. With the board running 9♦ 9♠ 8♣ K♦ 6♣, Sami bowed out of the tournament.
We’re seeing a couple of competitors with larger stacks than most.
Michael Falcon with roughly 90,000 and Christan Haggart with 70,450.
From early position, Rehg Delos Reyes limped again and saw four others join her as limpers int the pot. The flop 10♠ J♠ 7♠ was checked by all except Delos Reyes who fired 1,600 to the middle– enough for another nice scoop.
One of the few ladies among the field, Rehg Delos Reyes is quite active during the last few hands.
First, acting from UTG+1, she limped into the pot but saw a raise to 1,400 from an opponent across her. She called.
She fires another 700 on the flop 6♣ 7♥ K♥ and got flat-called this time to bring the turn 2♥. Keeping up the heat, Delos Reyes made it bigger this time opening for 1,800… The opponent deemed it too high and folded his hand.
After a bit of a preflop raise war, Samad Razavi sent Michael Mariakis tanking for some time, needing to decide if this was the moment to gamble his tournament life. Mariakis did call and they went to a showdown:
Razavi: K♥ K♠
Mariakis: : A♠ K♦
Though the flop of 6♠ 10♥ Q♠ seemed harmless to Razavi, as well as the turn card of 3♦, the river would not be so kind as it slapped a J♠ giving Mariakis a straight and the win. Mariakis is now up to 80K chips.
