Eric Siegel

Corel Theuma raised under the gun to 1,000,000, and Eric Siegel moved all in from the hijack for 1,500,000. David Frenkel called from the small blind, and Theuma also called. Any further betting would create a side pot.

Frenkel and Theuma checked all the way down on a board of 7s6d4d8d8c, and all three players showed their cards.

Corel Theuma:  AdQs  (ace-queen high)
David Frenkel:  AsJs  (ace-jack high)
Eric Siegel:  KhJc  (king high)

Theuma wins the pot with his ace and his queen to eliminate Siegel in 14th place.

Andrew Pecina raised UTG+1 to 1,100, Scott Livingston moved all in from the button for 5,150,000, and Pecina tanked for a while before he called with 8s8h.

The board came Ks6c4h2d7h, and the pocket jacks held up for Livingston to win the pot and double up in chips.

Tony Abid

Vinny Monteiro opened to 1,000,000 from middle position and Tony Adib moved all in for 3,200,000 from the hijack. It folded back around to Monteiro, he thought for a moment, and called with the much bigger stack.

Monteiro: Qd8d
Adib: As9s

Adib was ahead but had two suited live cards to dodge. Monteiro nailed the AdKd3d when he flopped the nut flush and Adib was gone after the Jh turn and 7s river.

Vinny Monteiro – 15,850,000 (40 bb)
Tony Abid – Eliminated in 15th Place ($13,981)

After a flop of AhAcQd, Yoann Gimenez checked from UTG+1, Andrew Pecina bet 800,000 from the cutoff, and Gimenez called.

The turn card was the 7c, Gimenez checked, Pecina bet 1,375,000, and Gimenez tanked for a long time before he called.

The river card was the Jc, Gimenez checked, and Pecina bet about 3,300,000. Gimenez went into the tank for a very long time.

After a couple of minutes, Gimenez apologized to the table, saying, “Sorry guys, it’s a tough situation.” He then pointed out that he wasn’t Hollywooding, because there was no livestream or anything like that.

Eventually, Gimenez folded, and Pecina took the pot.

Andrew Pecina  –  17,700,000  (44 bb)
Yoann Gimenez  –  15,550,000  (39 bb)

Fred Dabus

Vinny Monteiro raised from the cutoff to 1,000,000, Fred Dabus moved all in from the small blind for 2,200,000, and Monteiro asked for a count before he called with As2c.

Dabus turned over KcQh, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came 7s3d3c4cAd, and Monteiro led the entire way, winning the pot with two pair, aces and threes, to eliminate Dabus in 16th place.

Eric Siegel moved all in from the button for 2,700,000, and Nicholas Carballo called from the big blind with AhJd.

Siegel turned over Ad10s, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came Ac8s8d5hQc, and the queen on the river gave Siegel kicker protection — both players finished with two pair, aces and eights, with a queen kicker.

It’s a chopped pot to save Siegel from elimination.

Eric Siegel  –  3,000,000  (8 bb)

Nicholas Carballo

Colby Covington raised from the hijack to 700,000, Nicholas Carballo reraised from the small blind to 4,050,000 (leaving himself just 500,000 behind), and Covington tanked for a long time before he called.

Carballo started to turn over his cards, but he still had chips in his stack and wasn’t all in yet. So he bet 500,000 in the dark, and Covington called in the dark.

The flop came As5h2d, and Covington took the lead with his AdQd for a flopped pair of aces. Carballo turned over 10s10d, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The turn card was — the 10h!

Carballo spiked a set of tens on the turn to clinch the pot, and the meaningless river card was the 9c. Carballo won the pot with his set to double up in chips.

Nicholas Carballo  –  9,700,000  (32 bb)

Vamsi Magam

Vamsi Magam moved all in from the button for 3,050,000, and Yoann Gimenez thoguht for a while before he called from the big blind with KhQs.

Ivan Saul

Ivan Saul raised from the cutoff to 675,000, Vinny Monteiro called from the button, and Andrew Pecina moved all in from the small blind for roughly 6.4 million.

Saul thought for a while before he called all in for 5,900,000, and Monteiro quickly folded.

Saul turned over KdKc, and needed it to hold to stay alive against Pecina’s AhQd.

David Frenkel

After a flop of Qc9d3c, both blinds check, and David Frenkel bets 2,000,000 from the hijack. Raffaello Locatelli calls from the cutoff, Corel Theuma calls from the small blind, and Colby Covington folds the big blind.

The turn card was the 4d, Theuma checks, and Frenkel moves all in for 6,175,000. Locatelli folds, and Theuma tanks for a while before he calls with QdJh for a pair of queens.

But Frenkel turns over 9s9c for a set of nines, and Theuma is drawing dead.

The meaningless river card is the 10s, and Frenkel wins the pot to double up in chips.
