Just before the break, David Chase moved all in for 95,500 from the small blind and Jake Toole called from the big.
Chase:
Toole:
Chase liked his ace enough to go with it, but he was a bit unlucky Toole woke up with a pocket pair. The eights ended up holding too after the board ran out . Chase takes home $12,714 for his 25th-place finish.
Hunter Frey moved all in under the gun for his last 49,500 and ended up getting a call from Matt Marafioto on the button. The blinds folded and the cards were turned up.
Frey:
Marafioti:
Frey had some kicker issues, but the flop gave him some gutshot straight draw hope. The turn was dry as could be, and that mean Frey needed either a three or four on the river to stay alive. The dealer burned one last time and put out the . Frey missed and was eliminated from the tournament.
We picked up the action on a flop when Viet Vo checked from the big blind and Gordon Vayo bet 20,000 from the under-the-gun position. Vo woke up with an all-in check-raise to 83,500, and Vayo made the call.
Vo:
Vayo:
Vo put it in with second pair, but it was no good as Vayo had flopped top pair. The turn left Vo drawing dead, and just to rub salt in the wound the dealer put out the on the river to give Vayo quads.
In one of the last hands of Level 17, Vladimir Geshkenbein opened for 9,000 on the button only to have Gino Levrini three-bet all in for 51,000 from the small blind. Davidi Kitai called from the big, and that prompted Geshkenbein to get out of the way.
Kitai:
Levrini:
Levrini was ahead, and the flop strengthened his position. Neither the turn nor river changed a thing, and Levrini lived to fight another day.
