Charette Has a Stack and Won't Share It
Level 23
: 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Just moments ago, Duff Charette was down to 8 million in chips and has since doubled twice and then some.
Charette has busted two short stacks and sits on over 80 big blinds now. He told us how he three-bet to 3,700,000 over an open to 1,300,000 and the two players saw a flop reading 
. Action checked to Charette, he continued for 3,500,000 and his opponent check-raised all-in to put Charette to the test for his last 14,450,000. It turned out that Charette held ace-king for the nuts and his opponent was drawing to a chop with ace-queen.
Charette sits near the top now after nursing a short stack for a while.

Lo Russo Scoops the Biggest Pot of the Tournament for a Monster Lead
Level 22
: 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Paul Dalrymple raised to 1,000,000 from early position and Nicky Evans three-bet to 2,700,000. Maurizio Lo Russo was in the cutoff and called, as did Dalrymple.
The flop came 
and Dalrymple checked. Evans bet 5,500,000 and Lo Russo decided to shove for 17,275,000. Dalrymple had 15,925,000 and quickly called for less. Action was on Evans now and it was costing him about 12 million in chips to play. He decided it was worth the gamble and called.
Paul Dalrymple: 
Maurizio Lo Russo: 
Nicky Evans: 
Dalrymple flopped a vulnerable straight, with Lo Russo flopped the nut flush draw against Evans' inferior flush draw.
The turn was the to leave Dalrymple drawing dead, but Evans still had a straight-flush draw. Unfortunately for him, the river was the 
and Dalrymple was eliminated while Lo Russo almost fully tripled up.
Evans was left with 3,000,000 and busted in an inconsequential hand to bust.
