Howard Mash

Howard Mash open-shoved for 3,100,000 from the hijack and Trung Pham reshipped from the button to get folds from the blinds.

Pham: AcTc
Mash: QcTh

Mash was dominated and the board ran out AdQh3d3sTs. Both made two pair but Pham was best to send Mash out in sixth place.

Trung Pham – 7,200,000 (24 bb)

Alcides Gomez

It folded around to Alcides Gomez on the button and he moved all in for 3,475,000. Peter Fellows moved all in over the top from the small blind for 4,500,000 and Brian Metter folded his big.

Fellows: JcJh
Gomez: KcJd

Gomez was dominated, found no love on the Ad4h3d flop, and was drawing dead after Fellows made a set on the Js turn. The meaningless Td river was dealt and Gomez was eliminated in seventh place.

Peter Fellows – 8,475,000 (34 bb)
Alcides Gomez – Eliminated in 7th Place ($38,348)

Brian Metter

Action folded all the way around to Brian Metter and he shoved for 2,950,000 from the small blind. Howard Mash looked at his cards and quickly called in the big blind.

Metter: Kc7h
Mash: AhQc

Mash was ahead with the big ace but needed to fade the two live cards to send Metter out. The 6d5d5c flop changed nothing but the 8s turn gave Metter an open-ended straight draw. The 7s river paired him up for the double.

Brian Metter – 6,150,000 (25 bb)
Howard Mash – 3,100,000 (12 bb)

Viktor Kovachev
Viktor Kovachev

Manny Tarich completed the small blind to 12,000, Viktor Kovachev raised from the big blind to 65,000, and Tarich asked for a rough count of Kovachev’s stack before reraising to 162,000. Kovachev four-bet all in for about 350,000, and Tarich called with Kd10h.

Kovachev turned over JsJc, and needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board came Kh4h2s9s6c, and Tarich paired his king on the flop to win the pot and eliminate Kovachev in third place.

Viktor Kovachev  –  Eliminated in 3rd Place  ($12,401)

Metter: AsAd

Metter found a monster in the blinds and Bianco never caught up as the dealer ran out the Qc8h7c4dTc board. Bianco was down to 400,000 and eliminated two hands later.

Aaron Rosenthal

Action folded to Aaron Rosenthal in middle position, he moved all in for 1,800,000 and Edwards Muñiz called from the small blind.

Muñiz: 8c8h
Rosenthal: QcJc

It was a race and Rosenthal needed to catch to take the lead. The 5s3s3d flop was no help and the 8s turn gave Muñiz a full house. Rosenthal was drawing dead to the 9c river and picked up $22,571 for ninth place.

Edwards Muñiz – 6,225,000 (31 bb)
Aaron Rosenthal – Eliminated in 9th Place ($22,571)
