William Ross Eliminated in 4th Place ($84,690)

William Ross - 4th Place
William Ross - 4th Place

William Ross has been shoving his short stack in as much as possible, but he couldn't get away with it forever. This time, when he shoved, Robert Sansour asked for a count. Then he made the call, and Ross knew that was bad for him.

Ross: {q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Sansour: {a-Spades}{2-Diamonds}

The {k-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop wasn't very interesting, but the {q-Spades} turn changed everything. Then the {a-Diamonds} river changed it back. Sansour eliminated Ross in fourth place, meaning he has still taken out every player at the table.

Sansour Lays It Down

Bolivar Palacios was under the gun and raised to 100,000. Martin Sansour made the call from the big blind and the two watched the flop come {6-Spades}{3-Clubs}{K-Hearts}. Sansour was first to act and bet 120,000, which Palacios called.

Sansour then checked the {9-Hearts} on the turn and Palacios moved all-in. Sansour took his time trying to get a read off his opponent. He even went so far as to pretend he was going to fold by motioning his cards forward but then stopping. In the end, Sansour opted to lay his hand down, but not before showing {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}. Palacios now sits with around 1.2 million.

Small One for Sansour

Martin Sansour raised the small blind, and now that he has extra chips to play with, Daniel Ades called in the big blind. But it was back to checking for both after the {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop. After the {4-Hearts} turn, Sansour went for a delayed c-bet of 110,000. That was good enough to take it down.

Ready, And, Break

It's been two levels since we took a breather, so it's time for a break. For some reason, this one is 30 minutes. We'll bring you updated chip counts momentarily.

Ades Doubles Again

Martin Sansour raised from the button only to have Daniel Ades move all-in from the big blind for about 500,000. Sansour made the call with his {J-Spades}{7-Spades} and was way behind the {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. Minutes before Ades managed to crack Sansour's pocket kings with a mediocre hand and now Sansour was trying to do the same.

The {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} kept Ades firmly in the lead and Sansour needed runner-runner to win. Unfortunately for him, the {10-Hearts} on the turn left him drawing dead. The {4-Diamonds} was put out on the river as a formality as Ades, who was severly short-stacked minutes before, doubled to over a million in chips.

Ades Crippled, Then Triples to Hang On

Daniel Ades
Daniel Ades

Daniel Ades may be the tightest player ever to sit at a final table. When action folded to him in the small blind, he raised to 105,000. It's one of the first raises we've seen from him in two days. But in the big blind, William Ross wasn't intimidated. He moved all in, and Ades folded, preserving his last 150,000.

With five big blinds to his name, Ades moved all in on the button the next hand. Ross flatted in the small blind. Then Martin Sansour reshipped from the big blind. Ross gave up his hand, and it was time for showdown.

Ades: {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Sansour: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Things looked good for another elimination, but the {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs} earned a gasp from the crowd. the {k-Hearts} turn took one out away from Ades, but it didn't matter. He spiked the {a-Clubs} on the river to triple up with a flush.

Rich Get Richer

Bolivar Palacios raised, and Martin Sansour defended his big blind. He's got enough chips now he could call blind just for fun if he wanted to.

Flop: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} - Sansour checked, and Palacios bet 90,000. Sansour called.

Turn: {9-Clubs} - Both players checked.

River: {q-Hearts} - Sansour liked that river. He bet 100,000, and Palacios slowly called. Sansour turned up {q-Clubs}{6-Spades} for trip queens to scoop the pot and make his chip pyramid even bigger.
