Andrey Gulyy - 8th Place
Andrey Gulyy - 8th Place

Brendon Rubie opened on the button, Greg Merson called from the small blind and Andrey Gulyy popped it to 63,000 from the big blind. Rubie called and Merson let his hand go.

The flop came {4-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {4-Spades}, Gulyy bet 94,000 and Rubie called. The turn came {7-Clubs} and Gulyy bet 100,000. Rubie tanked for a good while before he elected to call.

The river came the {6-Diamonds} and Gulyy took quite a bit of time to make his decision. He announced all in and Rubie called quickly.

Gulyy: {A-Spades} {10-Spades}
Rubie: {6-Spades} {6-Clubs}

Gulyy was disgusted by the turn of events and tossed his cards across the table in frustration.

Toan Trinh - 7th Place
Toan Trinh - 7th Place

Toan Trinh opened to 20,000 on the button and was called by Anthony Gregg in the small blind and James Schaaf in the big blind.

The flop fell {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and Gregg led out for 33,000. Schaaf called, but Trinh popped it to 100,000. Gregg ducked out of the way, Schaaf quickly called, and the {6-Hearts} hit the turn. A check from Schaaf led to a Trinh bet of 100,000, but he found himself faced with a decision when Schaaf raised all in with the bigger stack.

Trinh went deep into the tank, about three minutes worth, before he called with {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. Schaaf tabled {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for trips and held up through the {A-Clubs} river to end Trinh's tournament in seventh place.

After James Schaaf folded his big blind, Rubie asked for a count. Upon hearing that Gregg was all in for 291,000, Rubie called with {2-Hearts}{2-Spades}.

Monster Double Up For Adams Through Rubie

Timothy Adams
Timothy Adams

Timothy Adams raised to 48,000 on the button and Brendon Rubie three-bet to 112,000 from the small blind. James Schaaf folded his big blind and Adams four-bet to 243,000. Rubie asked for a count of what Adams had behind, about 1.4 million, and called.

The flop fell {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Rubie checked it to Adams who bet 201,000. Rubie put together chips for a raise, and a hefty raise it was. He made it 976,000 to go, sending Adams into the tank about two minutes before he re-raised all in for 1,552,000 total. Rubie shrugged and called, turning over {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a flush draw and straight draw.

Adams tabled {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} for ace high and was ahead, but had plenty of outs to fade. He did just that as the {Q-Hearts} turn and {2-Clubs} river gave him the pot with ace high.

"He's the sickest," said Tristan Wade, on the rail to sweat his friend. "Coin it. Sickest."

James Schaaf - 3rd place

Timothy Adams raised to 48,000 on the button and Brendon Rubie folded his small blind. James Schaaf defended from the big blind and a {Q-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop hit the board.

Schaaf check-called 57,000 from Adams to see the {Q-Clubs} turn. A check from both players landed the {Q-Spades} river which Schaaf bet 175,000 at. Adams took about 45 seconds before raising all in with the bigger stack.

Schaaf took a deep breath before calling for the rest of his stack, about 910,000.

Adams tabled {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, besting Schaaf's {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, to win the pot and take a commanding lead into heads-up play.

Adams: {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades}
Rubie: {K-Spades} {Q-Hearts}

Adams was in the lead but had to dodge a king to clinch the win. The river fell {A-Spades} and Rubie was eliminated.
