Tyler Foran

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

After a series of raises before the flop, Anthony Mar and Lucia Navarro had all of the chips in the middle and it was Mar at risk for 46,100.

Anthony Mar: K♣K♦
Lucia Navarro: A♣A♦

"This is the fourth time this has happened to me in the Main Event," Mar said as the cards were tabled.

Unfortunately for Mar, he couldn't find one of the last remaining kings as the board ran out 9♦7♠6♥5♦8♠.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

The player in early position raised to 1,800 and the players on the cutoff, button and big blind all came along. The flop came out 4♦4♥K♥ and the big blind checked. The early position player made the continuation bet of 2,200 and everyone folded except Daniel Vargas on the button.

The turn brought the 9♠ and early position bet 5,000. Despite being in the hand, Vargas carried on his casual conversation at the table and called.

Both players checked through the river 5♥ and Vargas flipped over A♦K♠ and the early position player flipped over one card, the K♣, and Vargas scooped the pot with his pair of kings with the ace kicker.

The action folded around to Mason Hinkle in the small blind and he dropped 15,000 across the line. Nicolaus Paszkiewicz was in the big blind and called off his remaining stack of about 8,000.

Mason Hinkle: 8♦8♠
Nicolaus Paszkiewicz: K♣4♣

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Alejandro Lococo opened to 1,600 from under the gun and Steve Wakeman defended from the big blind.

Both players checked the K♠8♦6♠ flop leading to the Q♠ on the turn. Wakeman bet 2,000 and Lococo made the call.

Wakeman fired again on the A♦ river, this time for 4,000. Lococo raised to 16,000 and Wakeman quickly made the call.

Lococo tabled K♦K♣ for top set on the flop but Wakeman revealed J♠2♠ for a jack-high flush to take the pot down, leaving Lococo short-stacked with about 12,000 chips left.

Lococo was eliminated a few hands later. According to the players at his table, he got his last chips in with 10x8x suited on a ten-high flop against pocket queens and failed to improve.

David Salituro

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Chris Da-Silva raised to 1,600 from early position and received two callers before Ferdinand Perada, in the small blind, three-bet to 6,600.

Da-Silva and a player in middle position called, while the button folded. "How do you fold there?" Da-Silva asked as they went three-handed to a 5♥7♠5♠ flop.

Perada continued for 6,300 and only Da-Silva called. The turn came the 4♥ and Perada bet another 11,000.

Da-Silva quickly called once more to see the 7♦ river where Perada fired out 14,000 this time. Da-Silva instantly tossed in a chip to signify a call and Perada showed 9♣9♦. Da-Silva, though, had 4♥4♣ for the turned full house to get an early boost to his stack.

Player	Chips	Progress
Chris Da-Silva	160,000 55,000	55,000

On a completed board of K♠4♥2♥7♠J♣, Ertem Osmanoglu fired a bet of 25,000 into the pot of about 35,000. Baraz Oz was the only opponent in the hand and he jammed all-in for 70,200.

Osmanoglu made the call to see Oz's 4♣4♠ for a set of fours, but it was no good as Osmanoglu tabled 7♣7♦ for a higher set and Oz exited the tournament.

Dan O'Hair

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Michael Mizrachi opened to 1,700 from the cutoff and was called by Rusty Hagenbuch in the big blind.

Hagenbuch led out for 1,500 on the J♦8♠K♠ flop and Mizrachi raised enough to put Hagenbuch all in for a bit over 10,000. Hagbenbuch called and hands were revealed.

Rusty Hagenbuch: K♦Q♥
Michael Mizrachi: 10♠7♠

Hagenbuch was ahead, but Mizrachi had plenty of outs that came to fruition on the 9♦ turn — giving Mizrachi a straight and leaving Hagenbuch drawing to a ten for a higher straight.

The 2♦ bricked out for Hagenbuch, however, and he was eliminated.
