Trestini: QsQd
Greenbaum: AsQc

Vito Polera was able to double his micro-stack twice to leave Jennifer Parker as the short stack at the table. She moved all-in for 850,000 and Nichael Mahabee looked her up with TsTh.

Parker needed help with QdTd and picked up a flush draw on the Kh9d5d flop. The 4s turn was a blank and the Ah river was no help to send her out in 8th place.

Nicholas Mahabee – 6,300,000 (25 bb)

$1,100 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry) 
Level 19: 2,500/5,000 with a 500 ante
Players Remaining: 4 of 86

Oscar Trestini opened the button with a raise, and Barry Pevner defended his big blind.

The flop was 9h7d6d. Pevner checked, Trestini continued for 12,000, and Pevner check-raised all in for 104,500 total. Trestini called to put him at risk.

Trestini: 7h8h
Pevner: As9c

Pevner’s top pair held as the Qh turn and Jd river completed the board, and he doubled up. All four players are now within a couple big blind of each other, each of them sitting with just about 250,000 chips.

Barry Pevner – 260,000 (52 bb)
Oscar Trestini – 245,000 (49 bb)

Brian Phillis was coolered in one hand, then turned around and laid a big one on the table soon after.

Unique Petiote moved all-in from late position and Vito Polera moved in behind from the button. Not to be left behind, Phillis put his stack in the middle from the small blind and Nichael Mahabee thought it through while having a laugh.

It was a good fold, this time it was Phillis with the aces.

Phillis: AhAc
Polera: AdKd
Petiote: AsKc

Polera and Petiote were a long shot but Polera picked up a diamond draw on the Qc4d2d flop. Another diamond would produce a double knockout but it ran 8s5c to send Petiote out in 9th while knocking Polera down to only 625,000.

“Happy birthday mom,” Phillis wishes a great day to his mom on her birthday.

Happy birthday from us as well.

Brian Phillis – 9,400,000 (38 bb)
Vito Polera – 625,000 (3 bb)
Unique Petiote – Eliminated in 9th place ($11,565)

Richard Leger opened the button to 9,000, and Oscar Trestini three-bet to 26,000 in the small blind. Leger called.

The flop was KdTh9d. Trestini moved all in with his big stack, and Leger instantly called all in for his last 50,000, putting himself at risk.

Leger: AdTd (pair of tens, flush draw)
Trestini: JsJc (pair of jacks)

The Kh turn and 8s river completed the board, keeping Trestini’s jacks in front. He won the pot, eliminating Leger in fifth place.

Nichael Mahabee doubled through Brian Phillis on the first hand of the final table and has done it again.

Phillis opened from early position to 500,000 and Mahabee raised to 1.2 million, leaving 1.4 million behind. It folded back around the Phillis and he took his time before announcing all-in.

Mahabee quickly called with AhAc and Phillis was coolered with KhKc. The board ran clean Td7d3d3cQc to give Mahabee another double.

Brian Phillis – 3,500,000 (14 bb)
Nicholas Mahabee – 5,500,000 (22 bb)

Mark Smith
Mark Smith

Mark Smith (small blind) and Oscar Trestini (under the gun) were involved in a heads-up pot on a 7s6s4s flop. Smith led out with a bet, Trestini raised, and Smith called, leaving about 25,000 chips behind.

The turn was the Ad. Smith checked, Trestini moved all in, and Smith committed the remainder of his stack to put himself at risk.

Trestini: KsJs
Smith: AsTh

Trestini had flopped a king-high flush, but Smith was drawing live to a superior ace-high flush. The river was the blank 8c, though, and Smith could not catch up. Trestini won the pot, sending Smith to the payout desk in sixth place.

Oscar Trestini – 310,000 (78 bb)
Mark Smith – Eliminated

Sean Iannucci opened the button and Harjinder Chawla defended from the big blind.

Flop: 9c5s2h

Chawla lead out for 600,000. Iannucci wasted little time shoving and Chawla called just as fast.

Iannucci: Th9d for top pair
Chawla: Jh5d for middle pair

Iannucci was ahead in the hand, but at risk. He faded a Qc turn, but couldn’t get away from the 5c river. Chawla improved to trips and earned the pot along with the elimination. Iannucci went home with $7,710 for his 10th-place finish.

Harjinder Chawla – 10,700 (53 bb)
