Cymbaluk Loses Race; Busts

[user101598]

Martin Hanowski opened to 25,000 in early position, Enrico Tau three-bet to what looked like 68,000 on his direct left, and the action folded to Glen Cymbaluk, who moved all in for 211,000 from the small blind.

"Let's see if they changed to aces," Hanowski joked, looking at his hand one last time before folding.

Tau examined Cymbaluk's stack, then called.

Tau:
Cymbaluk:

There was a queen in the window of the flop, and a second queen - the - fell on the turn. Only one of the two remaining jacks in the deck would save Cymbaluk on the river, and it wasn't to be as the completed the board.

The Canadian Cowboy is eliminated, while Tau, who started the day with just over six big blinds, now has 680,000 chips.

The in-form Brit's final scene saw him four-bet all in from the button after Sergio Aido Espina had opened from under the gun whilst the table was short-handed. Espina snapped off the raise.

Fabrice Gets Frisky; Herm Not Having It

[user101598]

Mark "dipthrong" Herm opened to 25,000 from the cutoff, Fabrice Soulier three-bet to 65,000 on the button, and both blinds released. Herm tanked for a bit, riffling chips with one hand, then he grabbed a tower of blue T5,000 chips. He four-bet to what looked like 118,000, and Soulier quickly moved all in.

There was a beat, then Herm called.

Soulier:
Herm:

The flop fell , giving Soulier a leading pair of nines, and neither player flinched. The turn was the , giving Herm extra outs to catch up, and the fell on the river to give him a winning flush.

Again, neither player flinched.

The stacks were counted down, and when it was confirmed that Soulier had less chips than Herm, he began to gather his things. He shook Herm's hand, then headed for the rail.

Herm now sits with 1.475 million chips.

Player	Chips	Progress
Mark Herm	1,475,000 575,000	575,000
Fabrice Soulier	Busted

Donnini Finds a Three-Outer

Matthew Pitt

Jorma Nuutinen has just lost a big pot to Danilo Donnini despite getting his chips in with the far better hand.

Ramzi Jalessi opened from early position and Donnini — next to act — three-bet all in for 202,000 in total. The action passed around to Nuutinen in the big blind and after checking his cards he said a simple, "Call." Jelassi folded and the active players showed their hands down.

Donnini:
Nuutinien:

Donnini came from behind when the flop came down and when those community cards were followed by the turn and river, Donnini doubled up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jorma Nuutinen	750,000 -230,000	-230,000
Danilo Donnini	425,000 140,000	140,000

Dominguez Dusted

[user101598]

Cesar Garcia Dominguez (Day 2) - Eliminated

Just before break, Dany Parlafes opened to 26,000 in early position, Sergey Kuzminskiy flatted on his direct left, and the action folded to Cesar Garcia Dominguez, who moved all in for just under 400,000 from the small blind.

Parlafes quickly folded, and Kuzminskiy tank-called.

Kuzminskiy:
Dominguez:

The flop fell , giving Kuzminskiy backdoor flush and straight draws, and the kept his flush draw alive. The black river card did not complete the Russian's flush draw, but the did give him a better pair and a knockout.
