Jacob Hershey: {q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Isiah Ditoto: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Hershey was in excellent position with his straight and held after the board ran out {6-Hearts}{a-Hearts} to secure a huge double up and take a commanding lead over his two opponents.

Ditoto Chips Up

Level 32 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Marshall Roof raised to 1,000,000 out of the small blind and Isiah Ditoto called in the big blind.

Roof continued for 1,000,000 on a flop of {4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{a-Spades} and was called.

The {2-Spades} turn saw Roof slow down, checking to Ditoto who fired off 525,000. That was not enough to dissuade Roof who made the call.

Roof checked for a second time following the {7-Clubs} river and then called when Ditoto bet 2,850,000. Ditoto tabled {j-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for rivered trips, sufficient to scoop the pot.

Ditoto Doubles Through Hershey

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Isiah Ditoto opened to 550,000 on the button and Jacob Hershey responded by three-betting to 1,800,000 out of the small blind. Marshall Roof was absent from the table and so was mucked in the big blind. Ditoto responded to the three-bet by putting in a raise to 3,400,000. Hershey moved all in and Ditoto instantly called to put himself at risk.

Isiah Ditoto: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Jacob Hershey: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Ditoto was on the right end of a brutal cooler and in good shape to double up. There were no lead changes on the {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} runout, hading Ditoto a full double.

Ditoto Takes From Hershey

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Jacob Hershey opened to 500,000 on the button only to see Isiah Ditoto three-bet to 2,000,000 out of the big blind. Hershey called to send the two players heads-up to the flop.

Ditoto led out for 1,400,000 on a flop of {10-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{a-Clubs} and was called by Hershey.

Both players checked through the {9-Clubs} turn to the board pairing {10-Spades} river. Ditoto then checked for a second time and raised to 7,000,000 after Hershey fired off 2,000,000. Hershey flipped over {k-}{q-} for flopped broadway before folding in disgust.

Dorothy Adams

Dorothy Adams moved all in for her last 1,925,000 from the cutoff and was called by Isiah Ditoto on the button. The blinds got out of the way to put Adams officially at risk.

Dorothy Adams: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Isiah Ditoto: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

Adams was in bad shape but found help on the {6-Spades}{3-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop. The {k-Diamonds} turn, however, turned the tables back around again with the {5-Hearts} river endings Adams' tournament run.

Jacob Hershey opened to 450,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Gabe Gonzales in the small blind who flatted. The big blind folded to send action heads-up to the flop.

Gabe Gonzales: {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Jacob Hershey: {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}

Gonzales was ahead with his flush but the {j-Clubs} turn improved Hershey to a full house, leaving Gonzales drawing extremely thin. No miracle was forthcoming on the {8-Clubs} river, ending Gonzales' deep run in 6th place.
