Dario Sammartino Eliminated by Brad Ruben

Level 7 : 250/500, 0 ante
Dario Sammartino earlier this summer

A player recently informed the PokerNews Live Reporting team of the action in the following hand:

The under-the-gun player raised to 1,050 before the flop, and four players called. The flop came {9-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, and action checked to Brad Ruben in early position. Ruben bet 2,800, Dario Sammartino moved all in from the button for approximately 14,000, and Ruben called to put Sammartino at risk.

Ruben held {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for kings and the king-high flush draw, and he was up against Sammartino's wrap with {J-}{6-}{5-}{4-}.

The board filled out with a {9-} on the turn and a {7-} on the river, neither of which were any help to Sammartino, and Ruben took the pot to send Sammartino to the rail.

Phil Laak Eliminated by Ben Palmer

Level 7 : 250/500, 0 ante
Phil Laak (from a previous event)
Phil Laak (from a previous event)

According to Ben Palmer, he eliminated Phil Laak just before the last break. There was a raise, Palmer called on the button, the small blind called, and Laak came along in the big blind. On a flop of {Q-}{10-}{5-} with two spades, Laak and Palmer got all the chips in, and Laak was at risk.

Laak had top pair with a straight draw and the best flush draw. Palmer had a worse flush draw and a higher straight draw with {K-}{J-}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}. The turn was an ace, giving Palmer Broadway, and it held up.

"He got it in good," Palmer commented, and Palmer is now among the biggest stacks in the room with over 100,000.

Jonathan Little Flops Well and Turns Better to Eliminate a Player

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante
Jonathan Little
Jonathan Little

Jonathan Little was relatively short-stacked and got all the chips in against one player with a smaller stack on a flop of {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}.

Little flipped over {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for top set, and the {J-Clubs} on the turn gave him quads and a lock on the pot. The meaningless {9-Hearts} fell on the river, and Little took the pot to send his opponent to the rail.

Darryll Fish Takes One Down

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante

With about 2,500 already in the middle and the board reading {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades}{6-Spades}, action checked around to Darryll Fish on the button, and he bet 1,500. The small blind called, and they were heads-up going to the river.

The {10-Clubs} completed the board, and both players checked. Fish tabled {K-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a straight, having missed the spade flush draw he picked up on the turn, but his hand was still good enough to win the pot as his opponent mucked.

Ankush Mandavia Sends One Home

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante
Ankush Mandavia (from a previous event)
Ankush Mandavia (from a previous event)

With around 4,000 in the pot and three players in, the flop came {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades}. The small blind went all in for 3,000, the player under the gun folded, and Ankush Mandavia called in middle position.

Mandavia: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
All-in player: {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}

Both players had trip sevens, but Mandavia had a better kicker. The {4-Diamonds} turn and the {8-Clubs} river changed nothing and Mandavia eliminated his opponent.
