Kevin Rabichow Eliminated in 4th Place ($193,537)

Level 42 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante
Kevin Rabichow
Kevin Rabichow

Kevin Rabichow made it 130,000 on the button and Christoph Vogelsang re-raised to 420,000 in the big blind. Rabichow called and the flop fell {9-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. Vogelsang continued with a bet of 250,000 and Rabichow called to see the {q-Clubs} on the turn.

It took Vogelsang nearly three minutes to push out a bet of 525,000 on the turn but Rabichow still called. The river was the {10-Diamonds} and Vogelsang thought for another three minutes before jamming all in. Rabichow had just over 800,000 chips remaining and quickly called it off.

Vogelsang flipped over {q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} for top pair while Rabichow clearly had his mind made up as he tabled {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}. Rabichow was eliminated and will be forced to settle for a fourth-place finish while Vogelsang will be moving on to the final later this evening.

Dario Sammartino
Dario Sammartino

Dario Sammartino shoved his remaining 490,000 chips in the middle on the button and was called by Dan Smith.

Dario Sammartino: {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Dan Smith: {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

The {7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} was no help to Smith, though he would pick up a gutshot straight draw on the {j-Spades} turn.

The {k-Diamonds} river was clean for Sammartino, who is back near a million chips.
