Turn Dooms Bibat

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Laurids Nielsen opened for 125,000 in middle position and Tanner Bibat made it 405,000 on his left. Action folded back to Nielsen and he shoved. Bibat quickly called off his 2 million or so with {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}. It was a flip against {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}.

The {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{a-Hearts} was beautiful for Bibat but the {10-Spades} turn far less so. The river was an {8-Diamonds}, keeping the set best to bust Bibat.

Pizza Party

Joe Hachem arrived at Table 488 to greet his son Daniel with a few pizzas just after the last break. Daniel opened up the boxes and started handing out slices of pepperoni pizza to everyone at his table.

"Make sure you get some napkins!" one of the tournament directors instructed.

"Can't just bring pizza for yourself," Joe stated. "Gotta bring enough for everyone."

Daniel raked in another massive pot when he eliminated Dmitry Yurasov and turned towards his father. "Good pizza, Dad. Thanks."

Cooler Hand Sends Lech to the Payout Desk

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

The cards were already on their back but there was no question that all of the chips got in the middle preflop. Michael Lech was the player at risk for just over 1,000,000 chips and Ivonir Bento was his opponent.

Ivonir Bento: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Michael Lech: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

The board ran out {j-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and Lech was eliminated on a sick cooler.

At the table next door, Daniel Neilson was also seen standing up from his seat and made his way to the payout desk as well.

Chu Toasted by Leung

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Jeffrey Chu raised all in for his last 550,000 from middle position and action folded around to Joseph Leung who reraised all in to isolate action against Chu and fold the remaining players out of the pot.

Jeffrey Chu: {10-Spades}{6-Spades}
Joseph Leung: {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Chu found himself in a dominated situation and was unable to fill up after the board ran out {5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{j-Hearts} as his tournament life came to an end.

Heidorn Outflops, Busts Eslami

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Ali Eslami put in a continuation-bet on a {4-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop from early position and then called a sizable raise from small blind Robert Heidorn. On the {j-Diamonds} turn, Heidorn shoved for 1,650,000 effective and Eslami called quickly with {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts} but saw bad news as Heidorn had flopped a set with {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. The river bricked off for Eslami and he hit the rail.
