Song Sends Adomkevicius Into The Tank

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Stephen Song
Stephen Song

Aneris Adomkevicius opened to 120,000 from a middle position with JJ. Stephen Song three-bet to 375,000 having picked up AA in the small blind.

The flop came 7510 and Song bet to 375,000, which Adomkevicius called.

The 4 came on the turn and Song, still ahead, opted to check. Adomkevicius bet 275,000 which was met with a raise from Song to 675,000. Adomkevicius took some time but found a call, taking the players to the river.

The 7 completed the board and the action was on Song. He raised to 1,200,000, putting Adomkevicius all in. After a long tank, the clock was called and Adomkevicius was given 30 seconds to act before his cards were automatically mucked.

Adomkevicius eventually made the call with just seconds left on the clock. Song showed his aces, which eliminated Adomkevicius from main event just 10-minutes before the end of Day 5.

Zevola Sucks Out on Garcia to Survive

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Adrian Garcia Galipienso

Marco Zevola raised to 450,000 from under the gun, and left just 50,000 chips behind in his stack. Santiago Trujillo then three-bet to 850,000, and Adrian Garcia shoved for over 8,000,000 from the blinds. Zevola put in his last 50,000, and Trujillo went deep into the tank before eventually folding.

Marco Zevola: JJ All in
Adrian Garcia: QQ

Zevola was a huge underdog but flopped a set on the 105J42 board which kept his Main Event dream alive as Day 5 edges to its culmination. Garica on the other hand, didn't lose too many chips as he took the small side pot of 350,000 which kept his stack above the eight-million mark.

Bifarella Out with Queens

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

Diogo Coelho raised from under the gun with AA and Samuel Bifarella's three-bet to 335,000 with QQ from the cutoff. Coelho four-bet to 665,000 and Bifarella five-bet to 1,635,000. Coelho raised all in and Bifarella called for his entire stack.

The AJ4 brought an Ace for Coelho and Bifarella needed a runner-runner to save him.

The turn came the 10 which gave Bifarella a straight draw but the 8 didn't bring in the king out to save him.

Al-Shanti Wins Big Pot At the Very End

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Abdullah Al-Shanti
Abdullah Al-Shanti

The emotions were flying high when Abdullah Al-Shanti and Neal Corcoran got their chips into the middle after a preflop raising war when the former was the player at risk. "Kings versus aces, I got aces in a huge pot," Al-Shanti told Iaron Lightbourne on a nearby table and his British rail.

Abdullah Al-Shanti: AA All in
Neal Corcoran: KK

The A109 flop gave Al-Shanti top set and the 3 turn locked up the large double as a now meaningless 8 river completed the board. Al-Shanti doubled for 2,480,000 and then apologised for his outburst, even bumped fists with Corcoran.

Just prior, Al-Shanti had lost a big pot and recovered the losses in this setup hand.

Jivkov Ends on a High

Jivkov At Risk Last Hand of the Night
Jivkov At Risk Last Hand of the Night

Nick Jivkov was at risk for his tournament life in one of the final hands of the night but was the favorite to score a late double-up.

Nick Jivkov: KK All in
Clement Van Driessche: QQ

The runout of 74482 brought no surprises which meant Jivkov got a double-up right before the end of play.

Grigorev Survives on the River

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Michail Grigorev
Michail Grigorev

On the last hand of the night, Michail Grigorev moved all in for 1,000,000 in the small blind and Andrew Arbogast called in the cutoff.

Michail Grigorev: AK All in
Andrew Arbogast: AQ

Grigorev had Arbogast dominated for a late-night double up as the flop came 21010. The Q turn, though, gave Arbogast two pair and left Grigorev one card away from elimination.

Instead, he spiked the J on the river to make a straight and book his ticket for Day 6.

"Why did you give me the queen," Arbogast told the dealer as he handed over the pot.
