Enio Bozzano opened to 100,000 from late position and called a three-bet to 200,000 from John Griffin, on the button.

The flop was {2-Spades}{5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, and both players checked to the {q-Diamonds} on the turn. Bozzano bet 160,000, and Griffin called. The {10-Clubs} completed the board on the river, and Bozzano slid out a bet of 500,000. Griffin called.

Bozzano tabled {3-Spades}{4-Spades} for a flopped straight, and a steamed Griffin mucked.

Traian Bostan Eliminated in 17th Place ($23,848)

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Traian Bostan
Traian Bostan

Vinicius De Silva opened to 60,000 from piddle position, sparking a raising war that ultimately cost Traian Bostan his tournament life.

First, Florentino Coalla three-bet 130,000 from late position. Then Bostan four-bet jammed out of the small blind for 635,000, and Enio Bozzano five-bet shoved over top for 1,235,000. De Silva folded, and Coalla went into the tank. The clock was eventually called, and Coalla's time ran out; his cards went to the muck.

Bostan: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Bozzano: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}

It was a cooler for Bostan, and he stood up and took his leave after getting no help from the {5-Spades}{j-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} board.

Christopher Farmer Left Short After Pot With Enio Bozzano

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Christopher Farmer opened for 60,000 and Enio Bozzano three-bet from the button to 180,000.

Farmer called and, when they got to the turn of a board reading {k-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, Bozzano called a 95,000 bet from Farmer.

The river was the {j-Diamonds}, and when Farmer checked Bozzano moved all in. Farmer seemed puzzled, saying, “Strange hand. What do you have, man?” and asking if Bozzano would show if he folded.

The clock was called and the count reached zero and Farmer’s hand was dead. Bozzano did not show and dragged the pot.
