Lorenzo Bosforo Eliminated in 6th Place ($20,485)

On the very next hand, Lorenzo Bosforo raised to 60,000. Soi Nguyen, fresh off losing half his stack, got right back in there with a raise to 130,000. It got back to Bosforo, and after about 10 seconds of thought, he moved all in for his last 600,000. Nguyen slammed the chips he was shuffling on top of his stack, and said "call!"

Nguyen: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Bosforo: {k-Spades}{9-Hearts}

Nguyen was once again in fantastic shape to knock out a player, and he was looking to avoid back-to-back suckouts. The board ended up being safe for him, coming {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Spades}{a-Hearts}, and Nguyen scored the knockout to get back up over 1.5 million.

Chehanske Cracks Aces to Double Through Nguyen

For the second straight hand, Jonathan Chehanske raised it to 50,000. Action folded to Soi Nugyen in the small blind, and he three bet it to 123,000. It got back to Chehanske, and he moved all in for 523,000. Nguyen snap called, and saw he was in great shape to own 1/3 of the chips in play.

Nguyen: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Chehanske: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

Chehanske was looking for a jack to survive, and he rocketed into the lead when the flop came {2-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. Nguyen was looking for a two outer of his own now, and while the {2-Spades} on the turn wasn't an ace, it did give Ngyuen one more out. He could now catch the case deuce to win the hand, but the {4-Hearts} hit the river.

After that pot, Chehanske is over a million for the first time today, while Soi drops under one million for the first time today.

Tran Back Over a Million

Lynda Tran raised it to 60,000 from the button, and Erik Roussakis was in the small blind. He cut out raising chips, and put in a three bet to 130,000. Edmund Liu folded his big blind, and it was back to Tran.

Tran thought for about 20 seconds before grabbing a stack of yellow T25,000 chips. She stuck it in to make for a raise to 460,000, which represented half of Roussakis' stack and most of hers. He kicked his cards in, and Tran took the pot to up her stack to 1.104 million.

Chehanske Chipping Up

Jonathan Chehanske raised under the gun to 45,000, and he was called by both blinds: Erik Roussakis and Edmund Liu. The dealer fanned a {10-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop, and it was checked to Chehanske, who bet out 70,000. Roussakis called, and Liu got out of the way.

The turn brought the {8-Hearts}, and Roussakis took advantage of the scare card by betting out 85,000. Chehanske was not phased though, and he moved all in for around 400,000. Roussakis couldn't make the call, and Chehanke is no longer the short stack with 632,000.

Tran Takes It Down

It folded all the way around to Lynda Tran in the small blind, and she made it 50,000 to go. Erik Roussakis came along in the big blind, and the flop came down {10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. Tran checked to Roussakis, who fired out 55,000. She made the call, and when the {9-Spades} hit the turn, she made another check call. This time the bet was 90,000, and the river was the {9-Hearts}.

Tran took some time to decide, then grabbed some chips, and bet out 125,000. Roussakis took a peak down at his cards, and didn't take long to throw them away. Tran is now up to 971,000, while Erik Roussakis drops to 1.103 million.

Roussakis Makes Good Call

We caught the action between Erik Roussakis and Lorenzo Bosforo on the flop, which read {q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. Bosforo checked to Roussakis, who fired out 45,000. Bosforo came along, and they both checked when the {j-Clubs} hit the turn. The river was the {4-Hearts}, and this time, Bosforo led out for 80,000.

Roussakis grabbed the calling chips, and took about 15 seconds to call. Bosforo said "nice call", and tabled {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a busted flush and straight draw. Roussakis showed {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for ace high, and it was good enough to boost his stack to 1.304 million. Meanwhile, Bosforo is down to 620,000.

Roussakis Ups the Aggression

Soi Nguyen opened it up to 42,000 on the button after it was folded around to him, and Lynda Tran three bet him to 120,000. Erik Roussakis was in the big blind, and it didn't take him very long to announce "250", which signified a raise to 250,000. Nguyen quickly got out of the way, and it was back to Tran. She tanked for about a minute before flicking her cards towards the dealer, and Roussakis took down the pot.

After that hand, he is back over a million, while Tran drops to the second shortest stack.
