Matyas Csiszar

Action folded to Matyas Csiszar in the hijack and he moved all in for ~800,000 then Nagui Yassa moved all in over the top from the button for more. The blinds released and Csiszar was in trouble.

Csiszar: Ah2h
Yassa: AcAs

Yassa had the monster and flopped the case ace on the AdKs3h board. Csiszar needed running magic cards but was drawing dead to ninth place after the Qd turn.

Aboodi: KcTh
Oropesa: AcKh

Oropesa was in a great position to double up and had no troubles on the 7c7h6h flop. The Tc turn was bad news however and the 6d river could not keep at the final table any longer.

Gil Aboodi – 5,100,000 (102 bb)
Rafael Oropesa – Eliminated in 10th place ($10,962)

Manual Rivera

John Magnetta opened to 100,000 and our Anonymous player called from the hijack. Manual Rivera raised to 250,000 from the button to get a fold from the blind and Magnetta. Anonymous called to the JdJc2c flop and checked. Rivera moved all in for ~700,000 and Anonymous quickly called without asking for a count.

Anonymous: KhJh
Rivera: 9d9h

Rivera was in trouble against trip jacks and couldn’t find a miracle on the 3c turn or 5d river to exit in 14th place.

Short-stacked Andres Morales didn’t last another hand and was gone on Rivera’s tail.

In a three-way pot, John Miller moved all in for 455,000 from the big blind after our Anonymous player checked the small and Andres Morales called the shoved. Our Anonymous player then moved all in with a check-raise for 1,015,000 to make Morales think about it. After a short think, he called for the three-way all in.

Miller: KsKc
Morales: 5c5d
Anonymous: 3d3h

The set of the were ahead but had to dodge the open-ended straight draw/over pair plus the monster kings. The 4c turn and 2s river finished the board to send Miller out, put Morales on the short stack, and built our Anonymous player up among the big stacks.

Anonymous – 2,600,000 (65 bb)

Yassa: 8d3d
Glendenning: KhTh

Glendenning was in trouble against Yassa’s trips and couldn’t find a save on the Qs turn or 5h river to exit in 17th place.

Derek Bowers

There was an early open to 60,000 and Nagui Yassa called from the button. Derek Bowers shoved from the small blind to get one fold then a call from Yassa.

Bowers: 6s6d
Yassa: KcJc

Bowers was ahead but it was Yassa hitting the AsJh5d flop. The 8h turn was a blank and the Ad river sent the pot to Yassa. After counting down Yassa’s stack, his 495,000 was only 30,000 more than Bowers.

He found a quickly double up but was gone a few hands later in 19th place.

Nagui Yassa – 1,100,000 (37 bb)
Derek Bowers – Eliminated in 19th place ($6,142)
