Jazayeri's Loss is Fisher's Gain

Kai Cocklin

Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Gary Fisher shoved for around 3,000,000 but Sean Jazayeri hadn't seen it and announced a raise to 700,000. Upon realizing that Fisher had shoved, Jazayeri had the choice to act but elected to fold, which meant he forfeited the chips he put into the pot. Everybody else at the table folded and Fisher increased his stack by around fifty percent with that shove.

Sean Jazayeri	9,700,000 -650,000	-650,000

Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Buck Bucceri shoved from the middle position for around 4,400,000 for the action to fold to Felix Barriga in the big blind. Barriga looked down at his hole cards and quickly made the call.

Buck Bucceri: 10♠9♠ All in
Felix Barriga: A♥A♦

Bucceri put his hands in his hair and nodded while Barriga quickly shouted out what he held to his rail while the rest of the players at the table smiled.

The flop came 7♠5♣K♦ to keep Barriga ahead.

The turn was the 8♦ for Bucceri to pick up the open-ended straight draw but the river completed the board with the 5♠. Bucceri was eliminated in ninth place and quickly made his way off the stage while all the players congratulated Barriga and each other.

Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

The action folded to Manelic Minaya in the small blind who shoved all in, and Kevin Song made the call for his last 1,500,000 from the big blind.

Kevin Song: K♠10♠ All in
Manelic Minaya: K♦7♦

Song was the favorite to win the hand and double up but everything changed once the dealer put out a flop of 2♦A♦J♦, which gave Minaya the nut flush. There was no chance for Song to win the hand as the meaningless runout of 8♠4♣ confirmed his elimination in eighth place.

Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Paul Runge shoved the hijack for over 4,000,000 and Michael Minetti made the call from the button for his last 3,000,000.

Michael Minetti: 4♦4♠ All in
Paul Runge: A♠K♥

Minetti was flipping for his tournament life and stayed in the lead after the dealer put out a flop of J♠2♣9♥.

Runge took the lead on the A♥ turn which left Minetti with just two outs to survive. It was Runge who improved on the river as the A♣ gave him trips, and eliminated Minetti in seventh place.

Level 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Gary Fisher opened from under the gun to 925,000 and Paul Runge called from the button. Yucel Eminoglu was in the big blind and also called.

On the 5♠6♠7♦ flop, Eminoglu led out for 1,600,000 and got two quick folds from his opponents.

Kai Cocklin

Level 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Felix Barriga limped from the small blind and Yucel Eminoglu raised to 1,200,000 from the big blind. Barriga immediately moved all in for around 10,000,000, and Eminoglu made the call.

Felix Barriga: K♦Q♠ All in
Yucel Eminoglu: J♦J♠

The two chip leaders had clashed which created a huge pot that could determine the outcome of this final table. If Barriga could win the flip, he would take over as the chip leader for the first time today, but if it went Eminoglu's way he would hold a commanding lead with five players remaining.

It was Eminoglu who let out a roar on the 9♥7♥J♥ flop as he improved to top set and took a huge lead in the hand. Barriga had outs to a straight but neither the 2♦ turn nor 3♦ river was the card he was looking for.

Yucel Eminoglu raised to 1,100,000 from the button, and Gary Fisher shoved for around 4,000,000 in the small blind. Eminoglu made the call which put Fisher at risk.

Gary Fisher: A♠J♦ All in
Yucel Eminoglu: Q♥9♦

Eminoglu was steaming through this final table and it was of no surprise that he rivered a straight on the J♥7♦8♠3♣10♦ board which eliminated Fisher in fifth.

Shirley Ang

Level 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Paul Runge shoved from the cutoff and Manelic Minaya asked for a count from the big blind. The dealer confirmed Runge has 5,125,000 behind for Minaya to tank for a bit before he ended up making the call.

Paul Runge: J♦10♣ All in
Manelic Minaya: 7♣7♦

The board ran out 4♥5♥A♦J♠10♥ for Runge to turn a pair of jacks and river a pair of tens to stay alive with.
