Ali Imsirovic raised from the button to 6,000, and Sean Winter thought for a while before moving all in from the small blind for 15,000. Cary Katz called from the big blind, and Imsirovic also called.

Both players checked to the river on a board of AcQd8s5d3c, Katz checked, Imsirovic bet 15,000, and Katz folded.

Winter showed Qh9h for a pair of queens, but Imsirovic turned over Ah7h to win the pot with a pair of aces, eliminating Winter from the tournament. (Winter has already used his optional re-entry.)

Chris Brewer got it all in from the big blind for 32,500 with AdJs, and needed his hand to hold to stay alive against Sean Winter’s Ac9h on the button.

The board came QhJc3d7h6c, and Brewer won the pot with a pair of jacks to double up in chips.

The field is now up to 19 players, approaching yesterday’s number of 24. The latest entries include Elio Fox, Lazaro Hernandez, Tom Marchese, Sam Soverel (re-entry), and Chris Brewer (re-entry).

At one point, as the tournament staff was opening up another table to accomodate the additional players, recent re-entry Sam Soverel told Elio Fox, “This is my fourth bullet, and I’ve only played 12 f***ing hands.”

Dan Smith doubled thru Elio Fox to knock Fox all the way down to a single 500 chip, or 25% of a big blind.

Elio Fox  –  500  (0.25 bb)

Fox got his 500 all in with 10s2s against Tom Marchese’s Kc9c, and the board came AhQh3c10d9s to give Fox the octuple up to 4,000.

Elio Fox  –  4,000  (2 bb)

That’s when the blinds increased to 1,500-2,500, and Sergi Reixach raised under the gun to 4,500. Fox called all in from UTG+1 for 4,000, and Marchese called from the big blind to create a side pot worth 1,000.

The flop came 7c6h6d, Marchese checked, Reixach bet 3,000, and Marchese called.

The turn card was the Qc, Marchese checked, Reixach bet 12,000, and Marchese folded. Reixach took the side pot worth 7,000.

For the main pot, Fox showed Qs2d for two pair, queens and sixes, but Reixach turned over KhKc. Fox needed to improve to stay alive.

The river card was the As, and Reixach won the pot with his kings to eliminate Fox.

Sergi Reixach  –  260,000  (104 bb)
Elio Fox  –  Eliminated

A few minutes later, after a flop of QcJh7c, Jake Schindler bet from the small blind, Dan Smith moved all in from the cutoff for about 60,000, and Schindler quickly called with KhKd for an overpair.

Smith turned over Qd10d for a pair of queens, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The turn card was the 4c, the river card was the 6d, and the pocket kings held up for Schindler to win the pot and eliminate Smith.

Jake Schindler  –  230,000  (92 bb)

We missed the preflop action but the end result was Sean Winter all in for 89,500 from the cutoff and Nick Petrangelo had him at risk from the big blind.

Petrangelo: JdJs
Winter: AdKs

A big-money race and Petrangelo slammed the door when he flopped a set on the Jc8s6h board. It finished with 3s turn and Kc river and Winter was asking where to re-register.

Chris Brewer, who won yesterday’s $50K Super High Roller, was eliminated when he shoved the turn with a pair of eights and an open-ended straight draw into Dan Smith’s queen-high straight. Brewer missed his outs to a chop on the river, and he was eliminated from his first bullet.

Sean Perry opened to 3,000 from under the gun, Cary Katz three-bet to 15,000 from the small blind and Sam Soverel moved all in for 35,000 from the big. Perry thought for a moment, put his chips in the middle, and Katz could not call fast enough.

Katz: AcAd
Perry: QhQc
Soverel: AhKs

Katz was in a great spot to knock Soverel out and double through Perry. The dealer ran out the 9c7s6d5c2d board and that is what happened.

With the arrival of Sam Soverel, the field is up to eight players, and they’ve been split up into two tables of four players each.

TABLE 1
Seat 1.  Sergi Reixach
Seat 2.  Dan Smith
Seat 3.  Chris Brewer
Seat 4.  Jake Schindler

TABLE 2
Seat 1.  Cary Katz
Seat 2.  Sam Soverel
Seat 3.  Sean Perry
Seat 4.  Ali Imsirovic

In the first hand after Soverel arrived, there was a family pot as Sean Perry raised under the gun to 3,500, Ali Imsirovic called from the button, Cary Katz called from the small blind, and Soverel called from the big blind.

The flop came 8s7s4s, and it checked to Perry, who bet 8,500. Imsirovic and Katz both fold, and Soverel calls.

The turn card was the 6s, and both players checked.

The river card was the 2h, Soverel bet 15,000, and Perry thought for a while before he called. Soverel said, “Eight,” implying that he had a pair of eights, but Perry turned over 10h10c, and Soverel mucked. Perry won the pot.

Sean Perry  –  185,000  (123 bb)
Sam Soverel  –  96,500  (64 bb)

Registration remains open with a single re-entry option until the end of the dinner break, around 10:40 pm. With eight entries so far, the prizepool is up to $388,000.
