Daryl Katz has been shaking his groove thang over on table 272, but not without earning the ire of Gavin Smith after doubling through Kevin Boudreau.
We picked up the action on a flop that read after the dealer had called for the floor, as one of the other players on the table had requested a clock on Katz. The tournament supervisor reached the ten-second verbal countdown, but with two seconds left, Katz slammed the rest of his chips in and tabled , ahead of Boudreau's .
The turn and river ran out , and Boudreau's trip queens were best to take down the pot. Smith wasn't as happy as Katz though, as he remarked: "I've never called the clock on anybody in my life, but sir, that was the most absurd slow-roll I've ever seen."
The action folded around to Simon Ravnsbaek who raised all-in from middle position before Rayan Nathan iso-shoved from the cutoff, forcing the others out of the way before the players went to showdown:
Nathan:
Ravnsbaek:
Both players ended up with two pair on the board of , but Nathan's ace kicker was best to send Ravnsbaek to the rail. We can also confirm that during that hand, Paul Fehlig also went busto over on another table.
We're now down to 36 players after Lamberto Collina was sent to the rail at the hands of Ryan Goindoo.
On a flop that read , Goindoo led out for 52,000 and Collina called before both players checked their option on the turn of the . Goindoo then opened for 64,000 on the river of the , but Collina shoved for an additional 80,000.
Goindoo went into the tank for over six minutes before making a crying call with for top pair, but was overjoyed when Collina showed . Collina tapped the table and departed the Amazon Room in 37th place.
As Cook's aces were being cracked the table right next to it had a bust out of its own. From what we gathered from the players at the table Bassel Moussa held and Shawn Busse had .
The board ran and Moussa's straight eliminated Busse.
We found this hand on the flop of and Steven Michaelis had put a large bet. John Cook moved all in and Michaelis snap called and slapped his cards on the felt saying, "I flopped the wheel bro. Sorry."
Cook huffed as he stood up and tabled hoping for a chop or runner runner flush. The board completed and Cook's day was done.
We didn't catch the action but we saw Gavin Smith stacking Pratyush Buddiga's chips and Buddiga was looking rather dejected. With that pot Smith has cracked the 1,000,000 chip mark.
The action folded to Yoonjun Park who raised to 28,000 pre-flop before Albert Strickland shoved for another 80,000. The others got out of the way and Park made a crying call with , but found himself well behind Strickland's .
Strickland kept his lead on the flop of , but the on the turn gave Park him a few more outs. Needing any ace or ten, the river was the useless and Strickland took the double-up.
