The action was opened for a raise and it was folded to Mike Sowers in the small blind who moved all in for a little more than 500,000 in chips. Elliott Zaydman moved all in from the big blind and the original raiser folded. The two all in player's hands were revealed:
Sowers:
Zaydman:
Sowers was ahead and it would stay that way on the flop. The on the turn gave Zaydman more outs as he picked up a flush draw and it would be that draw that would hit on the river. A disappointed Sowers rushed out of the room, not a word to be said to the other players as he was eliminated in ninth place.
Martin Godsk raised to 80,000 from the cutoff and Simon Deadman called in the big blind. The flop was checked through, Godsk then bet 85,000 after the turn. The river completed the board and both players checked, Deadman picked up the pot with .
Robbie Bakker opened for the second time to 80,000, in the first hand he found no resistance but Deadman won the pot with a three-bet to 195,000 in the second hand.
Godsk then raised to 80,000, Bakker called and Kitty Kuo won the pot with a three-bet to 220,000.
Christopher DeMaci and Kitty Kuo were involved in a pot that saw both players check on the turn. The river was the and Demaci led out for 125,000.
"How much?" asked Kuo and then she probed further by asking DeMaci "you have 800 behind?"
"Yea," said DeMaci with a gruff tone in his voice.
"400," said Kuo, announcing a raise.
"I'm all in," responded DeMaci.
Kuo beat him into the pot, turning over for jacks full of nines. A shell-shocked DeMaci turned over for a full house of his own, nines full of sevens. "Wow," he said quietly. DeMaci was still shocked when he took to Twitter a few minutes later:
Christopher DeMaci raised to 80,000 from early position and got two callers including Robbie Bakker in the big blind. On the flop, Bakker check-called 125,000 by DeMaci and the other opponent folded.
Both players checked the turn and the river saw Bakker bet 180,000. DeMaci had about 430,000 left and ended up calling after more than one minute of consideration. Bakker announced eights and DeMaci turned over the . "Oh wow, I nitrolled you there. I told you I am a nit," DeMaci said.
It was folded to Brian Hastings in the small blind who completed and Michael Wang made it 165,000 to go from the big blind. Hastings moved all in for 995,000 total and Wang quickly called. The hands were revealed:
Hastings:
Wang:
The flop came with an ace but it also came with a ten to give Wang a set. A queen would give Hastings a straight but the turn was the and the river was the and Hastings was eliminated in 11th place for $24,031. They are now combining down to one table of ten players. We'll have the seating assignment posted shortly.
Jorn Walthaus moved all in from early position for 415,000 and one seat over, Elliott Zaydman asked for a count. Once he got the confirmation from the dealer, Zaydman moved all in as well and all other opponents mucked their cards rather quickly.
Walthaus:
Zaydman:
The flop was still good for the Dutchman, but the turn gave Zaydman the better hand. Walthaus had two sixes left in the deck to avoid the elimination. The river was close but failed to improve his hand and he headed to the payout desk. "That was my second best hand today," a relieved Zaydman said.
