David Mzareulov Eliminated as Bubble Burst

Kirk Brown

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Isaac Trumbo opened for 20,000 and was called by David Mzareulov to see a flop of J♣9♦7♥. Mzareulov checked, Trumbo continued for 20,000, and then Mzareulov check-jammed all in. Trumbo quickly tossed out a calling chip to put him at risk and once the action was completed at the other table, the cards were on their backs.

David Mzareulov: Q♦9♠
Isaac Trumbo: K♥J♠

Mzareulov would need some help to stay alive, but the runout of 4♦7♣ failed to do so and he was eliminated on the stone bubble of Day 1b.

Tai Vo Spikes a Five to Take the Chip Lead; Normand and Ho Exit

Kirk Brown

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

After an open from Derek Normand, Jamie Ho moved all in for 85,000, Tai Vo called, and then Normand moved all in for much more.

Vo quickly called and the three players tabled their hands, with Normand covering.

Jamie Ho: 10♣10♠
Tai Vo: 5♣5♦
Derek Normand: K♥K♠

Normand was in a great position to take the chip lead in this massive pot, but fate had other plans as the flop came out 9♥7♦5♥ to immediately give Vo the lead with a set of fives. The turn 8♦ gave Ho some outs as he picked up an open-ended straight draw, but the river 8♠ improved Vo to a full house and he scooped the huge pot.

Ho was sent to the rail and Normand was left short, finding the exit soon after.

Player	Chips	Progress
Tai Vo	855,000 478,000	478,000

Derek Normand	Busted
Jamie Ho	Busted

Rountree Rolls the Die With Song

Kirk Brown

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Collin Rountree moved all in preflop for around 40,000 and the action folded around to Yunkyu Song who was thinking about it.

He then busted out his 20-sided die and turned to Rountree...

"Ok, you roll it, if its six and under, I call," he said, and Rountree picked it up and rolled a five. Song then held true to his word and quickly called to put Rountree at risk.

Collin Rountree: A♦K♣
YunkyuSong: 6♦6♥

The board ran out 7♦5♥Q♣Q♠9♠ for Song's sixes to hold and he scooped the pot while Rountree was sent to the rail .
