Mark Meloche opened with a raise from middle position to 55,000 with Niklas Toorell making the call on the button.
They took a heads-up flop of and Meloche led out with a bet of 60,000. Toorell made the call and the hit the turn.
Meloche fired again for 125,000 and Toorell again flatted in position to see the complete the board.
Meloche made it three barrels with a 150,000-chip bet and Toorell went into the tank. He emerged with the quietly spoken "I'm all in". Meloche jumped from his chair but he wasn't happy about it, eventually finding a frustrated fold.
Meloche is back where he started the day with 970,000, as Toorell is now up to 1.65 million.
Following a flop, Bryan Pellegrino was all in for his last 650,000 with , but drawing thin against Josh Brikis' .
The turn was the , giving Brikis a full house but also giving Pellegrino hope to outdraw his opponent. But the river was the , and Pellegrino has been eliminated.
Robin Bergren was just now all in for about 295,000 before the flop and up against Matthew Jarvis. Bergren had and was in need of some help versus Jarvis' .
No such help for Bergren came from a board, and he's out. Jarvis now has about 2 million.
Michael Skender raised under the gun before Marius Arnesen shoved all in for 244,000 on top. Skender called for a fraction of his own stack, and another player was at risk of elimination as the dealer called for a showdown:
Skender:
Arnesen:
The flop was clean for Arnesen (), but the turn was a disastrous . The river sealed his fate, and Marius Arnesen is the latest name to appear on the cashier's payout registry.
Chad Wutke is out. We haven't amounts, but following a flop Wutke had check-raised from early position, getting a caller in Peter Jetten and forcing a fold from Michael Mizrachi. The turn brought the and a shove by Wutke, and Jetten quickly called.
Wutke turned a set with his , while that card had given Jetten his flush with . The river was the , sending Wutke to the rail and Jetten up to 2.3 million.
In what appeared to be a multi-way limped pot, Michiel Sijpkens popped it up an additional 80,000 from the big blind with just Patrick Hartnett making the call from under the gun as the other players stepped aside.
The flop landed and Sijpkens led out for 120,000. Hartnett made the call and the hit the turn. Sijpkens released a second barrel worth 150,000 and again Hartnett made a quick call.
The river was the and both players checked it down. Sijpkens showed for a pair of aces but his kicker played as Hartnett flashed the and mucked.
Hartnett is down to his last 355,000 while Sijpkens is sitting pretty with 2.15 million.
Four players -- Alexander Kostritsyn (big blind), Patrick Hartnett (middle position), Mozheng Guan (middle position), and Javed Abrahams (button) -- saw a flop come .
It checked to Guan who bet 125,000, then Abrahams raised to 325,000. Kostritsyn then reraised to 575,000, and both Hartnett and Guan got out. Abrahams reraised all in, and Kostritsyn called.
Abrahams had for the spade flush draw, while Kostritsyn had for jacks and treys. The turn was the and river the , and Abrahams is out. Kostritsyn now sits with 3.7 million.
We were watching two hands at once on two separate tables, so the information is slightly incomplete for this still-noteworthy hand.
We saw Michael Mizrachi and Duy Le take a flop of . Mizrachi led out with a bet, and we watched Le raise to 350,000. The Grinder called, and the drew checks from both players on fourth street. On fifth, the river cued a bet of 600,000 from Le. Mizrachi was unimpressed; he raised to 2,000,000 straight!
Le couldn't call, and he mucked his way down to about 1.65 million.
