Robert Patterson Jr was unlucky at the start of the day when he was all in and ahead before the board chopped his pot with Scott Blackman. A few hands later, Patterson was all in again for 1,325,000 against Blackman in a blind v blind battle.

Blackman: QdJh
Patterson: JcTs

Patterson had kicker issues and nothing on the 9d7d6c4h5h board could save his tournament. He was sent out in eighth place and the final table was set.

Scott Blackman – 16,600,000 (83 bb)
Robert Patterson Jr – Eliminated in 8th Place ($34,557)

Blackman: AhQd
Gianquitti: 9d9s

Gianquitti was ahead with his nine and needed to hold to double. His lead did not last long and Blackman moved out front on the QhJd8d flop. The 6d turn and 3s river finished the board to send Gianquitti out in ninth place.

Scott Blackman – 13,500,000 (68 bb)
Robert Gianquitti – Eliminated in 9th Place ($25,378)

Ricardo Eyzaguirre
November Holiday Special Champion Ricardo Eyzaguirre lead the LHPO Event 6 return

Event 6 beat all expectations and drew 301 players to the $1,100 buy-in two-day tournament. They created a prize pool worth $291970 and most of that remains as 29 players return for Day 2.

Ricardo Eyzaguirre leads the field but there are plenty of tough players trying to track him down. With deep stacks and 40-minute levels, it is still anyone’s game to win.

Cards go back in the air at 3 pm and we will have all the updates until we have a winner going home with $62,090.
