Justin Bonomo

Justin Bonomo opened to 16,000 second to act, and David Peters defended his big blind.

The flop was KsJh5d. Peters checked, Bonomo continued for 14,000, and Peters called.

That action repeated for 50,000 on the 8h turn, with Peters check-calling another bet.

The river was the 4c. When Peters checked for the third time, Bonomo moved all in for 133,000. Peters deliberated for about a minute before dropping a chip into the pot to signify a call.

Bonomo showed AsKd, winning the pot with a pair of aces. He doubled up, knocking Peters down to the shortest stack at the table.

Justin Bonomo – 436,000 (55 bb)
David Peters – 265,000 (33 bb)

Stephen Chidwick

Rainer Kempe opened to 13,000 in early position, and Stephen Chidwick three-bet shoved for 127,000 next to act. Adrian Mateos was next up, and he called to put Chidwick at risk. When it folded back around to Kempe, he re-shoved for about 225,000 total, and Mateos called the remainder to put both opponents at risk.

Kempe: KcKh
Chidwick: TsTc
Mateos: QdQh

The Qc9h7c flop gave Mateos a set of queens and a big lead with two cards to come. The Jc turn made things pretty interesting, though, giving both of his opponents plenty of chance to catch up. Kempe needed a club to stay alive, while Chidwick was looking for an eight or a king. The river was the blank 5d, though, giving Mateos the biggest pot of the tournament so far.

Rainer Kempe

Chidwick officially finished in eighth place, Kempe in seventh, and the six remaining players arrived at the direct money bubble. Mateos is the chip leader by a significant margin.

Adrian Mateos – 775,000 (129 bb)
Rainer Kempe – Eliminated
Stephen Chidwick – Eliminated

Tollerene showed 4s4h for a flopped set which was now a baby flush, but was second best to Mateos’ 8s8d for a better flush.

Petrangelo: AsAc
Davies: QhJh

Davies flopped a jack, but that’s as close as he’d get to catching up. The board ran out Jc6d5s2hTh, and Petrangelo won the pot with his pair of aces.
