Francois Zayas

On a flop of Ad4d2s, Francois Zayas led out from the small blind and Oscar Wilson Ramirez raised from middle position. The player on the button folded and Zayas moved all in.

Ramirez called and was the player at risk for about 600,000. Ramirez showed AcKd, but Zayas tabled 5d3c. Zayas flopped the nuts and had Ramirez drawing to runners.

The turn was the 3s, leaving Ramirez dead to a chop. The river was the 7h and Zayas won the pot with a straight, eliminating Ramirez in 47th place and moving his stack well over the 2 million mark.

Francois Zayas – 2,580,000
Oscar Wilson Ramirez – Eliminated

Richard Whitebrook

On a flop of Ts9s6s, a player in middle position bet 135,000 and Richard called on the button.

There was about 500,000 in the pot on the turn, which was the Jd. Middle position moved all in for his last 515,000. Whitebrook thought for a couple minutes and then called.

Whitebrook was in the lead with his QsQh, but had to fade a spade, an ace, or a ten against his opponent’s AsTc.

The river was the 8c and Whitebrook won the pot with a queen-high straight.

Richard Whitebrook – 1,600,000 (53 bb)

Returning to Level 22: 15,000/30,000 with a 5,000 ante
Players Remaining: 55 of 3,570

Players are returning from their dinner break and cards should be back in the air momentarily. While they were away, we were able to track down and list out everyone who cashed so far today. More than 250 players hit the rail in five and a half hours of play and you can find them on the link below.

Of the notables, David Prociak was the Day 2 starting chip leader but he was unable to make it past 128th place. Nicholas Cookendorfer was our Multi-stack award winner after bagging four times in eight flights to collect $7,500. His biggest stack was 68,000 and he picked up another $1,000 for his 221st place finish.

Ralph Spadafore tried to make things interesting today when he returned with only 3,000 (less than the small blind). He ran it up and outlasted nearly 100 players to finish in 217th for $1,000.

Daniel Young

We had one Daniel (Taylor) leading at the last break with more 2,000,000 and now another Daniel (Young) joins the club. Taylor has dropped under that mark leading Young as one of the biggest stacks.

The top castle at the moment belongs to Sam Wynder nearby. He is stacked up to 2,700,000 as players continue to drop around him.

The tournament will play out this level then take a 45-minute dinner break.

Daiane Mendes

Daiane Mendes began her day with a nice upswing early and tried to double her stack once again. She open-shoved from early position and her move made it all the way around to Richard Whitebrook in the big blind. He asked for a count and called after hearing 365,000.

Whitebrook: JhJs
Mendes: AsQd

Whitebrook was ahead and Mendes was looking to pair one of her overcards. The dealer did not accommodate and ran a no-paint 9c7h5sTs3h board to send her out in 67th place.

Richard Whitebrook – 925,000 (46 bb)
Daiane Mendes – Eliminated in 67th place ($1,400)

Loni Harwood

Jorge Gomez opened to 45,000 and Loni Harwood called from the hijack. The small blind called and David Walked moved over the top all in for 229,000 from the big blind. Gomez released his hand and Harwood moved all in, quickly dispatching the small blind players.

Walker: 9h9c
Harwood: AdQd

Walker was ahead with his pair and the Ts7h3h flop did not hurt him. The 3d turn was safe as well but the Qh river was good for Harwood and Walker was sent out.

Loni Harwood – 795,000 (50 bb)
David Walker – Eliminated in 90th place ($1,300)
