Level 28: 60,000/120,000 with a 20,000 ante
Players Remaining: 13 of 3,570

During one of the first hands of the restart, Dustin Schaller took a shot with his shorter stack and open-shoved from the cutoff for 1,260,000. Chip leader Daniel Taylor quickly called from the button and the blinds released.

Schaller: Kd2h
Taylor: AcQd

Schaller was behind but had two live cards until Taylor moved further ahead on the AdJdTs flop. That quickly changed when Taylor hit the gutshot on the Qh turn and dodged the boat outs on the 8s river to double up.

Dustin Schaller – 2,650,000 (22 bb)
Daniel Taylor – 4,500,000 (38 bb)

Event 1: Final Day Set to Go

Daniel Taylor

It will take an extra day to determine our Ultimate Re-Entry champion after eight starting flights over four days and a long playout on Day 2. There were 3,570 entries to start with 314 coming back yesterday but only 13 remain.

Everyone is guaranteed at least $5,932 but all 13 of them want the $204,320 reserved for the top spot.

Daniel Taylor ended the day with the chip lead but Emile Schiff is less than one ante behind him. We have three players returning to less than 20 big blinds including former Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Big 4 champ Ruslan Dykshteyn. They will have to do some work when they return.

The stacks are pretty well distributed between the two tables and the action should roll pretty quickly at the start. After we lose three players, they will redraw the last ten players for the final table.

The bags are out on the tables and we will underway at 1pm sharp.

Benjamin Miner

There is about 1,000,000 in the pot on the river with a completed board of Ac5c4s2s7d. Daniel Taylor is in the big blind and heads-up with Benjamin Miner on the button.

Taylor checks and Miner moves all in in for 1,735,000. Taylor thinks for several minutes before calling.

Miner quickly tables Ad7s, good for two pair, and Taylor taps the table and tries to muck his hand. The dealer informs him that it must be tabled since it is an all in pot. Taylor then tables 9h9d and Miner drags the pot.

Benjamin Miner – 4,400,000 (44 bb)
Daniel Taylor – 5,340,000 (53 bb)

Brandon Ageloff

Brandon Ageloff raised to 225,000 from under the gun and Scott Vetter moved all in from middle position for about 1,400,000. Action folded back to Ageloff, who called.

Ageloff tabled TsTd and was in the lead against Vetter’s 9d9c.

The board ran out 8s4d2d4cJc and Ageloff’s bigger pair faded a bad beat to eliminate Vetter in 16th place. He becomes one of the bigger stacks in the tournament with the knockout.

Brandon Ageloff – 5,800,000 (58 bb)
Scott Vetter – Eliminated

On a flop of AsQc6d, Benjamin Miner bets 325,000 from the hijack and Daniel Taylor calls on the button.

The turn is the 4d and Miner bets again, this time 675,000. Taylor calls. The river is the 3c and Miner checks. Taylor bets 1,330,000 and Miner folds.

Taylor mucks his hand and collects the pot. He’s amassed a sizable chip lead with over 6 million in chips. Song O and Richard Trippensee are the only two players over the 5 million mark.

Daniel Taylor – 6,650,000 (66 bb)

Song O

Song O is in middle position and gets into a preflop battle against Emeil Schiff in middle position. O gets his last 2,525,000 into the middle and the cards were tabled.

O showed TsTh and was in trouble against Schiff’s AdAs.

The flop was Td7d4c, however, and O took the lead with top set. The turn was the Qc and the river was the 8d, sending the pot to O. Schiff, who was the chip leader before that pot, sends about a third of his stack to his neighbor.

Song O – 5,250,000 (65 bb)
Emile Schiff – 4,200,000 (52 bb)

Richard Trippensee

Richard Trippensee raised to 175,000 from under the gun and Nagui Yassa moved all in for 1,095,000 on the button. Action folded back to Trippensee, who asked the dealer for a count and thought for 30 seconds before calling.

Yassa showed AsJh and was dominated by Trippensee’s AhKd.

The board ran out 7d6c2sKc7c and Yassa was drawing dead on the turn. He was eliminated in 21st place and Trippensee moves over 4 million in chips.

“You took that long to call with that?” asked Ruslan Dykshteyn after the hand.

“I’m not a crazy Russian,” said Trippensee.

“You’re a crazy American,” said Dykshteyn. “You need to catch me.”

“Sometimes you just got to sweat it out,” said Trippensee. “It’s good for the bones.”

Richard Trippensee – 4,200,000 (52 bb)
Nagui Yassa – Eliminated
