Players Remaining: 25 of 536

As usual with these tournaments, action gets a little faster after the dinner break. Full bellies and fresh minds.

We lost eight players in the first half-hour back to really deepen the stacks and set up an interesting evening.

The lastest elimination saw Frederick Goldberg and Ducarmel Beaubien get nearly 500K each in the middle preflop.

Beaubien:
Goldberg:

Beaubien was ahead with his eights but Goldberg jumped out front on the flop. The paired ace was only good for one more card because the dealer put the two-out on the turn and Goldberg was gone after the river.

That left the field only one elimination from a full three-table redraw.

26th: Frederick Goldberg – $1,715
27th: Fred Dabus – $1,715
28th: Jeffrey Palermo – $1,715

Even with this deeper stack structure, sometimes things just happen. Jorge Gomez recently doubled through Steven Karp but the good times did not lost long.

Karp went out soon after sending the double to Gomez and then Gomez tangled with Andre Bryan.

As told by Bryan, he was heads up with Gomez when his flopped two pair against Gomez’s . A lot of chips went in the middle, Bryan’s hand held up, and Gomez was a shocking exit while Bryan stacked huge.

“Things are going ok,” Bryan said lowkey.

Andre Bryan – 2,085,000 (139 bb)

There was little action over the first four hands of bubble play then three big hands came around on hand five. Three tables had a player at risk and all had different outcomes. They were played out one at a time to make sure tournament staff had all the info.

On the first, a short stack was all in with against after both flopped two pair. Neither was freerolling to a flush so that hand was chopped up.

One the next, Raminder Singh was all in for ~165,000 after a flop. He was in great shape with against and his aces held after the turn and river. That hand was a double up.

One the last one, a short stack was all in from early position for 75,000 after a flop and Lee Farris called on the button with the bigger stack.

Farris:
Opponent:

Farris was ahead with top pair better kicker against top pair, worse kicker, and a spade draw. The turn changed nothing and Farris dragged the pot after the river. That hand burst the bubble.

Lee Farris – 275,000 (46 bb)
