David Salituro

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Rodrigo Motoki began the day with nearly 4,000,000 but had a short stint at the table after running into the ultimate cooler against Daniel Scroggins.

Scroggins three-bet to 600,000 from the small blind and Motoki called in early position. The flop came A♣Q♣J♠ and Scroggins continued for 400,000.

Motoki called to the 5♠ turn, where Scroggins then bet 2,000,000. Motoki responded by moving all in for around 2,500,000 and Scroggins snap-called.

Motoki showed J♦J♥ for a flopped set, but Scroggins turned over Q♦Q♠ for a higher set. The river came the 10♦ and Scroggins scooped the massive pot to send a shell-shocked Motoki to the rail early on Day 6.

Thomas Clack Eliminated by Eric Schneider

Eric Schneider opened to 160,000 from the cutoff and Thomas Clack three-bet jammed a stack of 1,825,000 from the big blind. Schneider called with a bigger stack after getting a count.

Thomas Clack: A♥K♠
Eric Schneider: 8♠8♥

Clack had his phone out to film the runout, which was not kind for him as the flop landed 8♦2♣7♣ to have Clack drawing dead against Schneider's set to mark his elimination.

Hunter Frey kicked things off with a raise to 175,000 in early position and Mark Spradlin three-bet to 350,000 on his left. The action folded back to Frey who slid out a four-bet to 1,100,000. Spradlin jammed all in for around 1,550,000 and Frey called.

Mark Spradlin: J♥J♦
Hunter Frey: A♥K♠

The flop came K♦Q♦6♠ and Frey took the lead with a pair of kings. The 2♦ on the turn gave Spradlin a flush draw but the K♥ was no help on the river as Spradlin hit the rail.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Heads-up on a board of 4♦9♦3♣Q♣, Joshua Payne bet 450,000 from the cutoff and Nicholas Gerrity called in the small blind.

The river came the 9♣ and Gerrity checked over to Payne again. "Okay, I check," Payne said after a few seconds.

Gerrity turned over 10♦9♠ for trips on the river and Payne mucked. "I thought about value-betting on the river," Payne told Gerrity, who raked in the pot.

Quang Vu opened to 160,000 from the hijack and Kunal Shah defended his big blind.

Shah check-called for 200,000 on the K♦Q♠9♣ flop before the 10♠ turn checked through to the 3♥ river.

Shah led out for 675,000 and Vu went into the tank. Eventually he counted out calling chips and slid them into the middle.

Shah tabled an ace-high bluff with his A♣6♣ and was bested by Vu's two pair after he tabled his K♠10♥.

Luis Yepez raised to 160,000 from middle position with A♥4♥ before Glenn Fishbein three-bet to 425,000 on the button holding A♦K♥. Jan-Peter Jachtmann looked down at Q♥Q♣ in the small blind and four-bet to 1,300,000.

Yepez got out of the way, but Fishbein called after a brief consideration to create a nearly 3,000,000 pot heading to the 8♣10♥J♣ flop.

Jachtmann then led out for 2,000,000 and Fishbein quickly threw his cards into the muck.

Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi was all in and at risk for around 1,500,000 against Yudai Futai, who had him covered.

Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi: J♦J♠
Yudai Futai: A♠K♠

The flop landed Q♣10♠7♥ to give Futai a Broadway draw and a player at the table said "that's a sweat" before the board finished out 3♥6♠ to keep Ohulchanskyi's jacks ahead for a double.

Sam Stein Calls Large River Raise by Pierpaola Lamanna

Pierpaola Lamanna opened to 180,000 from under the gun and was called by Sam Stein from the hijack.

The A♣2♠2♦ flop checked through to the K♠ turn. Lamanna thought over his options before deciding to check. Stein bet 260,000 and after some more thinking time, Lamanna called.

The J♥ completed the board and Lamanna checked for a third time. Stein reached into his stack and picked up 630,000 and placed it into the middle.

After a minute or so, Lamanna slid out a pile of T-100,000 chips and raised to 2,400,000.

Stein seemed exasperated at the spot and went into the tank himself. He agonized over his choices for quite some time. As the TV cameras began to surround the table, Stein found a call, and the cards were tabled.

Lamanna had 10♠10♣ for tens and deuces but was bested by the aces and kings held by Stein, who had A♦K♣.

Sam Stein	8,500,000 4,050,000	4,050,000

Tony Dam: A♥K♠
John Duthie: K♣K♥

The board ran out K♦6♠4♦4♥10♣ and Duthie's kings full knocked out Dam.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Cong Pham raised to 160,000 from under the gun and was called by Daniel Weinman next to act before Danny Grogan, in middle position, three-bet to 520,000. Action folded back to Pham who called, while Weinman got out of the way.

The flop came 2♠9♥8♣ and Pham checked to Grogan, who bet another 360,000. Pham called to the 7♥ turn, where he then led out for 875,000.

Grogan tanked for a moment before calling. The river came the 6♠ and Pham fired out 1,800,000. Grogan snap-called and Pham was forced to show K♥J♥ for a bluff.

Grogan turned over A♠A♦ as he took down the big pot.
