Vinny Monteiro

Nicholas Carballo raised UTG+1 to 1,300,000, and Vinny Monteiro moved all in from middle position for 5,150,000.

Tommy Morgado thought for a bit in the big blind before he called a floorperson over to clarify something.

Morgado asked how the payouts are awarded if two players are eliminated on the same hand, and he was told that the larger stack would get the higher payout. That appeared to be what Morgado wanted to hear, and he moved all in over the top for nearly 18,000,000.

Carballo slightly covered Morgado, and he went into the tank for a long time before he folded.

Monteiro showed QdQc, and Morgado turned over AsKs. Monteiro needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board came AdKh9sKd8h, and Morgado flopped two pair and turned a full house to clinch the pot and eliminate Monteiro in ninth place.

After the hand, Monteiro asked Carballo what he folded.

“Pocket tens,” said Carballo. “And I obviously would have called if he didn’t.”

Tommy Morgado  –  25,400,000  (42 bb)
Vinny Monteiro  –  Eliminated in 9th Place  ($25,420)

With eight players remaining from a field of 7,703, the average chip stack is about 19,250,000 (32 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $35,588 each.

Raffaello Locatelli

Action folded to Scott Livingston in the small blind, Raffaello Locatelli checked his option in the big blind, and the flop came QcJh2h. Livingston moved all in and Locatelli quickly called at risk for 3,575,00.

Locatelli: Qh4c
Livingston: KcJs

Locatelli was in line for another double with his paired queen versus Livingston’s jack, faded the Ac turn, but Livingston made trip jacks on the Jd river to send Locatelli out in tenth place.

Tournament staff paused the clock and the nine remaining players redrew seats at the final table.

Vinny Monteiro
Vinny Monteiro

Vinny Monteiro got it all in from the big blind for 5,525,000 with 8d8c, and needed his hand to hold to stay alive against the Ah7h of Raffaello Locatelli in the cutoff.

The board came 9c8h7d5s7c, and Monteiro flopped a set of eights and rivered a full house to win the pot and double up in chips.

The players tell us that Monteiro has had a streak of premium pocket pairs, getting pocket kings, pocket queens, pocket jacks, and pocket eights in short order — though it sounds like he only really got paid on the pocket eights.

Vinny Monteiro  –  11,950,000  (20 bb)
Raffaello Locatelli  –  6,200,000  (10 bb)

With 10 players remaining from a field of 7,703, the average chip stack is about 15,400,000 (26 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $25,420 each.

Yoann Gimenez raised from the cutoff to about 5,000,000, leaving himself only about 500K behind. Andrew Pecina moved all in from the small blind, and Gimenez thought for a while before he called all in for about 5,500,000 with AcQc.

Pecina turned over KhKc, and Gimenez needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came 8h8d8c3d7d, and the pocket kings held up for Pecina to win the pot and eliminate Gimenez in 11th place.

Andrew Pecina  –  26,175,000  (44 bb)
Yoann Gimenez  –  Eliminated in 11th Place  ($19,065)

With 10 players remaining from a field of 7,703, the average chip stack is about 15,400,000 (26 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $25,420 each.
