Jim Murray

Level 25

No-Limit 5-Card Draw High

Action picked up in an all-in hand between Benny Glaser in late position and Stuart Rutter on the button.

Glaser stood pat and Rutter drew three.

Stuart Rutter: A♥A♦/XxXxXx
Benny Glasser: K♠10♠7♠5♠2♠

Rutter would need close to a miracle to catch up and did not get one after drawing 10♦3♠2♣, sending him to the payout desk.

Steve Zolotow Eliminated in 9th Place ($14,870)

Ryan Gray

Level 25

Pot-Limit Omaha

Tomasz Gluszko raised preflop from middle position and Julio Belluscio called from the cutoff. Steve Zolotow then moved all in from the button for his last 262,000. Gluszko called as did Belluscio.

The flop came 6♥5♣4♥ and Gluszko and Belluscio both checked. Gluszko bet 300,000 on the 4♠ turn and Belluscio folded.

Steve Zolotow: K♥K♠10♦2♣
Tomasz Gluszko: K♦J♣7♦4♣

When Zolotow saw the bad news that his kings had been cracked by a four, he asked, "So, I've got what, one out?"

That out did not come on the river, and Zolotow was sent to the payout cage.

Dimitrios Michailidis Eliminated in 10th Place ($11,398)

Jim Murray

Level 24

No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw

Short on chips, Dimitrios Michailidis moved all-in from early position for 264,000 and Erick Lindgren reshoved for 530,000 from the button.

Action folded to Stuart Rutter in the big blind who asked for a count of Lindgren's stack, and then made the call upon hearing the amount.

Rutter stood pat, as did Lindgren, with Michailidis drawing one.

Dimitrios Michailidis: 9x6x5x4x/Xx
Erick Lindgren: 9x6x5x4x3x
Stuart Rutter: 9x8x6x4x2x

Lindgren's ninety-six was ahead of Rutter's ninety-eight, but could still lose to Michailidis if he drew a deuce. They could also chop with a three.

However, Michailidis peeled the Qx and headed for the payout desk.

Stuart Rutter	720,000 -480,000	-480,000

Glaser Finds Quads to Double Up Through Michailidis

Ryan Gray

Level 24

Big O

Benny Glaser bet 315,000 from the small blind on a board of J♦6♥6♠A♠ and Dimitrios Michailidis called from under the gun.

When the river rolled off 7♥ Glaser moved all in, and Michailidis called immediately. Michailidis showed AxJxJx9x9x for jacks full but Glaser had Kx8x7x6x6x for quad sixes. With no low possible for either player, Glaser notched the full double-up.

Jon Turner Eliminated in 11th Place ($11,398)

Jim Murray

Level 24

No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw

We caught the action post-draw with John Turner betting 300,000 from the small blind and Julio Belluscio raising enough to put him all in.

"I wanted you to call so bad," Turner said as he agonized over the decision to risk his tournament life.

After a few more moments of deliberation, Turner put in the calling chips and saw the bad news.

Jon Turner: 9♦7♠6♦4♥3♦
Julio Belluscio: 7♥6♥4♣3♠2♥

"You're welcome," mentioned Turner as he made his way to the payout desk.

Jim Murray

Level 24

Big O

Travis Pearson was all in from the small blind on a flop of 9♥6♠10♥ against Julio Belluscio in late position.

Travis Pearson: A♠K♣10♦5♣2♦
Julio Belluscio: A♦J♦8♠7♣2♠

Pearson flopped top pair, but the turn 5♠ and river 2♣ gave Belluscio a ten-high straight.

Neither player qualified for a low, so Pearson hit the payout desk.

Daniel James Eliminated in 13th Place ($8,948)

Jim Murray

Level 23

Pot-Limit Omaha

The cards were on their backs in an all-in hand between Daniel James and Federico Quevedo, with James the player at risk.

Daniel James: 9♦8♦7♠6♣
Federico Quevedo: A♦9♠4♠4♦

Quevedo flopped a set of fours, but James was right there with him having a number of straight outs on the 5♠ turn.

However, the dealer rolled over the 5♣ on the river, pairing the board and giving Quevedo the full house, sending James to the payout desk.

Alberto Fonseca Eliminated in 15th Place ($8,948)

Jim Murray

Level 23

No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw

Action caught up with Alberto Fonseca all in and Jon Turner deciding whether to make the call after the draw round was complete, which he decided to do after a few moments of deliberation.

Alberto Fonseca: 10x8x6x4x3x
Jon Turner: 9x8x6x5x2x

Turner's call ended up being correct and his ninety-eight would best Fonseca's ten-eight and send Fonseca home.

Michael Savakinas Eliminated in 16th Place ($8,948)

Jim Murray

Level 23

Big O

Dimitrios Michailidis raised to 56,000 from early position and Michael Savakinas three-bet to 195,000 from late position, which represented about two-thirds of Savakinas' stack.

Michailidis called and checked to Savakinas, who pushed in his remaining chips on the 2♦7♦10♠ flop, with Michailidis quickly calling.

Michael Savakinas: A♦A♣9♦5♥2♠
Dimitrios Michailidis: A♠K♥Q♥3♥2♥

As it happened, it was a big flop for Savakinas, whose aces were still in the lead to go along with the nut flush draw, leaving him looking good for at least half the pot.

However, Michailidis would back into the wheel on a 5♠4♣ runout and send Savakinas to the payout desk.
