[user153906]

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

After losing most of his stack in a flip ( to ) in the prior hand, Alex Visbisky was just eliminated at Table 9. Sharman Olshan opened to 2,500 from the cutoff and Visbisky called all in for 2,000 from the button. Michael Camizzi called from the small blind and the big blind came along as well.

On the flop, Camizzi led out for 5,000 and the other two players folded. Visbisky already knew he was in trouble.

"I actually had a good hand," he said as he rolled over the . Camizzi tabled his for trip aces and the turn and river spelled the end of Visbisky's tournament.

Sessum Wins a Monster, Takes Chip Lead

[user153906]

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Maurice Sessum just knocked out two players in a wild preflop confrontation to win the biggest pot of the tournament thus far.

Jeff Joseph opened to 3,200 and Sessum three-bet to 7,700. Tom Sartori called, and Adam Greenly moved in for 17,600 from the blinds. Joseph folded, Sessum moved all in over the top and Sartori quickly called for his tournament life.

Greenly:
Sessum:
Sartori:

Sartori was looking to gamble and it appeared to pay off when the flop rolled out , giving him a straight flush draw. The on the turn added even more outs to his hand, but the on the river secured the huge pot for Sessum, who pumped his fist in the air and now stands as the new chip leader.
