Yuval Bronshtein Eliminated in 14th Place ($13,834)

Yuval Bronshtein
Yuval Bronshtein

A short-stacked Yuval Bronshtein was all in on third and the red-hot John Monnette put him at risk.

Bronshtein: {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} / {A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} / {6-Clubs}
Monnette: {K-Spades}{J-Hearts} / {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} / {4-Clubs}

Bronshtein got it in good, but as we said before Monnette is running hot. That was evidenced by the three eights he hit in a row to send Bronshtein to the rail in 14th place.

Monnette on a Tear

John Monnette completed with the {7-Spades} only to have Jeff Lisandro, who was showing the {3-Spades}, put in a raise. Monnette was the only player to make the call, and he proceeded to call another bet on the turn. Fifth street saw Lisandro check-call a bet, and that action was repeated on sixth street. Lisandro checked for a third time on seventh, and then folded to Monnette's bet.

Monnette: (x-x) / {7-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} / (x)
Lisandro: (x-x) / {3-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{6-Spades} / (x)

Mike Sexton Eliminated in 15th Place ($12,035)

Mike Sexton all in
Mike Sexton all in

After Bryn Kenney brought it in with the {3-Hearts}, Huu Vinh completed and Perry Friedman called. Mike Sexton then sprung to life with a raise, Kenney folded and both Vinh and Friedman called. The turn saw Sexton led out with a bet, both his opponents called, and then he committed his last 10,000 on fifth street. Again Vinh and Friedman called before the former fired out a bet on sixth and drove out the latter.

Sexton: {K-Clubs}{6-Hearts} / {K-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{2-Spades} / {3-Diamonds}
Vinh: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{8-Hearts} / {4-Spades}{10-Spades}{J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Friedman: (x-x) / {9-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{8-Spades}{A-Clubs} / (x)

Sexton got it in with kings but fell behind when Vinh made two pair on sixth. Sexton was drawing live on seventh, but the {3-Diamonds} blanked and he was eliminated in 15th place for $12,035. Ironically, Sexton also finished in 15th place in Event #4 $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Low 8-or-Better earlier in the series.

Nick Schulman

A short-stacked Nick Schulman was all in on third while Mark Dickstein and Jeff Lisandro competed for a side pot. Lisandro ended up check-calling a bet on the turn before folding to Dickstein's lead-out bet on fifth.

Schulman: {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} / {9-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} / {10-Spades}
Dickstein: {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} / {5-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades} / {3-Spades}
Lisandro: (x-x) / {8-Spades}{2-Clubs}{4-Hearts} fold

Dickstein held two pair and was way out in front. Schulman managed to pair his ace on sixth, meaning he was drawing live headed to seventh, but the {10-Spades} would be no help. Schulman finished in 16th place and will take home $12,035 for his effort.
