Ramzi Jelassi is the new chip leader after he eliminated Sirzat Hissou in a huge, and somewhat cold, pot.
We heard the call of, "All in. Call" and rushed over to their table to see a flop fanned across the middle of the table.
Hissou had committed the 330,000 he had remaining with on top of whatever he'd already committed pre flop. The news was bad for him though as his Swedish opponent opened before the board ran out .
Robert Peltecci opened to 17,000 from middle position and Martin Mulsow, to his immediate left, three-bet to 44,000. Christopher Brammer was next to act and he asked Mulsow for a count of his stack and we prepared ourselves for a Brammer four-bet. It didn't arrive and Brammer folded.
The action then passed back to Peltecci and he counted out the chips needed to call but would not put them into the pot. Three minutes later, one of the players called time on Peltecci at the exact second Peltecci was about to call, causing Peltecci to pull his hand back and go back into the tank.
The floorstaff counted down a minute and in the last few seconds of the countdown Peltecci folded, showing in the process.
Peltecci was not happy the clock was called on him but Jonathon Driscoll informed him that is was every player's right to call the clock — especially after three minutes. Driscoll seemed a little riled by Peltecci's attitude and it could be interesting if they get into a pot together.
Michele di Lauro opened to 16,000 in late position, a player called on his left, and Ben Warrington three-bet to 46,000 from the blinds. Di Lauro moved all in for effectively 225,000, the flatter released, and Warrington quickly called.
Di Lauro:
Warrington:
The board ran out , and Warrington doubled to around 470,000 chips. Di Lauro dropped to around 235,000.
Action folded around to Glen Cymbaluk in the hijack and he put in a raise. Action then folded to Andrew Teng in the big blind, and he pushed back with a three-bet. Before long Teng was all in for approximately 200,000 and racing for his tournament life.
Showdown
Cymbaluk:
Teng:
"A queen would be nice," Cymbaluk said as he waited for the the flop. Ask and you shall receive as the flop came down . Teng was still alive to a jack, but neither the turn nor river would be it. With that, Teng exited the tournament floor while Cymbaluk chipped up to 800K.
Denys Larin and Marco Leonzio both started today on table seven, both went on a little journey, and were reunited on table one not so long ago. Their individual journeys were tough on them though and neither had riches to show off to the other. One decided to take all the other's wealth in a battle to the death.
Leonzio opened shoved from early position and Larin called all in from the big blind.
Leonzio:
Larin:
The board ran and Larin was eliminated by his old foe.
After a series of bets and raises, Jose Manuel Nadal Sordo was all in on a flop of holding . Iosif Beskrovnyy had him at risk with , and both the turn and river were kings: , .
Sordo doubled to 360,000 chips, while Beskrovnyy dropped down to around 750,000.
