Adrian Dresel-Velasquez' remaining stack totaled just 40,000 - conveniently exactly enough for one raise. He tossed it in from under the gun, and it was looking pretty bad already when he got three calls from Ahmad Abghari behind and George Kapalas and Matt Matros in the blinds.
The three other players checked down the 
board at speed, and everyone was made to reveal their hands.
Dresel-Velasquez: 
for a pair of sixes
Kapalas: 
for ace high
Matros: 
for also ace high
Abghari: 
for a rivered pair of queens
With that, we were four.
A desperately short-stacked Jason Potter found himself all in with 
versus the 
of Georgios Kapalas, but despite adamantly requesting his outs, it wasn't to be, the board coming an uneventful 
to send him home.
I joined the action on the turn of a 
board with Adrian Dresal-Velasquez check-raising and Georgios Kapalas making the call. On the 
river, Dresal-Velasquez led out for 40,000, but was raised to 80,000.
Perplexed, he sat back in his seat with a look of horror, before glancing back down at the board. "How much do you have behind?" he asked. "I just need an ish." "150,000," was the reply.
Despite his reluctance, he did eventually call, only to be shown a rather magnificent for turned quads.
As a result, Kapalas jumps up to 675,000, whilst Dresal Velasquez is struggling with just 70,000.
Seat 1: Terrence Chan - 890,000
Seat 3: Georgios Kapalas - 390,000
Seat 4: Matthew Matros - 775,000
Seat 5: Adrian Dresel-Velasquez - 280,000
Seat 7: Jason Potter - 120,000
Seat 8: Ahmad Abghari - 350,000
After losing some chips on that Truijers elimination hand, Jameson "Pumpkin" Painter raised preflop again and this time Terrence Chan called; Painter gave the hand up to a flop bet from Chan. It was only a small pot, relatively speaking, but with the limits getting really big now, it constituted a significant hit for Painter.
So with only 80,000 or 85,000 left to his name, Painter raised for the third hand in a row, and this time Matt Matros called in the big blind. They saw a flop.
Flop:
Matros bet out, Painter raised, they agreed to get the whole lot in and they flipped the cards.
Painter:
Matros: had spiked with
"I fold a queen," announced Georgios Kapalas, which probably didn't make Painter feel any better.
Turn: 
River: 
Matros was smashing pumpkins in the Amazon Room and Painter duly exited, taking his sizable but refreshingly well-behaved, bright orange rail with him.
Jameson Painter raised in the cutoff and Ahmad Abghari called in the small blind. Over to Roberto Truijers in the big blind, who reaised all in. Both players called.
Abghari and Painter quickly checked down the 
board and the cards were turned over.
Truijers: 
for the pair of kings on the board with an ace
Abghari: for two pair
Painter: mucked
Either Truijers or Abghari banged the table, we're not sure which. But either way, Truijers was rail-bound, and eight became seven.
By the by Abghari's stack was at 325,000 after that.
Like if WIllow took on Mini-Me, we've encountered a battle of the shorties here at the final table as Ahmad Abghari clashes with fellow short-stacker Roberto Truijers. It was Truijers who threw the first punch, raising it up from under the gun. Abghari called in the big blind.
On the 
flop, Truijers continuation bet, but ran into resistance from Abghari who check-raised to 40,000. Despite only have 60,000 behind, Truijers opted for the fold and lives to fight another day.
We are still eight as the post-prandial play begins.
