Scott Sanders

We caught the end of the action that seemed to be mellow until Wesley Lasher had all his chips in the middle. The dealer was handing over his final 250,000 to Scott Sanders with the board reading Jh8h5hKhJh.

Sanders turned the nut flush with AhKs to best the flopped bottom pair of Lasher with As5s.

Lasher’s elimination dropped the field down to the last three tables, pushed Sanders further into the lead, and commenced a 27 players redraw.

Lucas Braga

Lucas Braga lost most of his stack before dinner but stuck around to ladder up a few places. He made a few moves but wasn’t looked up until Ruslan Dykshteyn went for another knockout. Braga was all in for 160,000 with two live cards and a chance.

Braga: KdQc
Dykshteyn: Ac9h

Dykshteyn hit the 9d5s3s flop, Braga missed the 7h turn as well, and was eliminated after the Ts river. Dykshteyn continued to make himself felt after the dinner break and he is now among the leaders as they close on the last three tables.

Ricardo Eyzaguirre

They wasted no time dropping four players soon after the dinner break to get Event 1 down to four tables. Not long after that, Ricardo Eyzaguirre was all in for his final 108,000 and former SHRPO Big 4 champ Ruslan Dykshteyn called to put him at risk with a dominant hand.

Dykshteyn: KhJh
Eyzaguirre: KdTd

Eyzaguirre caught a needed ten on the Th6h4h flop but Dykshteyn flopped the big flush. Eyzaguirre needed running cards to stay in the game but hit the payout desk after the 2h turn had him drawing dead to 36th place.

Ruslan Dykshteyn – 1,300,000 (81 bb)
