Happy_Freaked

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Vamplew went into the tank for a while before four-betting to 65,000. Hanowski looked down at his stack and after about 15 seconds he decided to move all in for 147,000 and Vamplew snap-called.

Vamplew:

MarcC

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

All Senh Ung could do today was get his chips in ahead. He did that for a second time and now he's out.

Miguel Cieri Di Pentima opened to 6,100 from mid position and then moved all in for 47,000 after Senh three-bet to 15,000 from the small blind. Senh snap called all in for his remaining 34,000.

Di Pentima:
Sinh:

The board ran to make Di Pentima a set on the turn. Pretty cruel exit for Sinh so close to money.

Player	Chips	Progress
Miguel Cieri Di Pentima	84,000 -31,000	-31,000
Senh Ung	Busted
