Zinno Folds and Shows

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Anthony Zinno opened to 60,000 on the button and the small blind three-bet jammed a stack of 300,000. Zinno went in the tank and asked for a count before ultimately folding.

"I like you," he said as he folded {a-Spades}{2-Spades} face-up. "That was so close."

"Show one," Zinno goaded his opponent, who did not show one.

Maio Mutiplying

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Anthony Maio was spotted slaying yet another opponent as his recent surge continued. He held the {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} and his opponent's beaten hand was flipped over as the board showed {q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades}{j-}{2-}, with Maio having flopped a set of ladies.

He reeled in another bounty card as his stack moved over 2,000,000.

"One big hand I'm gonna fold," the opponent said.

It was likely the right fold as the player looked relieved when Al-Keliddar showed {j-}{j-}.

Rossitto Eliminates Another

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Arash Eshaghian jammed all in from under the gun for 112,000. Christopher Odle called in early position. It folded to Michael Rossitto in the small blind who checked his cards and waited some before raising to 310,000. Odle folded after a few moments of thinking.

Eshaghian was at risk with the {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts} against the {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} of Rossitto.

The flop came down {6-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{9-Spades} to pair Rossitto and make things look grimmer for Eshagian. The turn was the {4-Diamonds} and the river the {3-Spades} to send him away as Rossitto gathered another bounty.

Nguyen Eliminated by Ingram

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Robert Nguyen open-jammed a stack of 138,000 from under the gun and James Ingram called from the next seat to get the hand heads-up.

Robert Nguyen: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}
James Ingram: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

The flop of {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}{2-Spades} gave Ingram the lead but left Nguyen plenty of hope. Unfortunately for him, the board finished out {6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and he was elminated.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Action came in with the board reading {k-Hearts}{5-Spades}{a-Clubs}{a-Spades}. From middle position, Samuel Laskowitz bet 170,000 over to big stack Sefula Seji who was in the hijack.

Lonis Falls to Cho

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Jesse Lonis
Jesse Lonis

After losing most of his stack in a flush versus top pair confrontation with Michael Haberman, Jesse Lonis open-jammed a stack of 117,000 from under the gun and Nathan Cho called on the button with a bigger stack, according to those at the table.

Jesse Lonis: {k-}{9-}
Nathan Cho: {a-}{j-}

The king-high flop gave Lonis the lead but Cho had hope with a flush draw and over card. The river indeed brought an ace to give him the best hand and Lonis was eliminated.

It wasn't all bad news for Lonis as he had a half dozen bounties in front of him, more than anyone else in the tournament, and he headed to the bounty barrel.
