Hands #23-24: Tsinis Doubles Up Before Dinner

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Hand #23: Arkadiy Tsinis shoved all in from the small blind for 1,080,000. Ryan Leng called.

Tsinis: {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Leng: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

Leng had the lead and looked poised to deliver another knockout blow until the {10-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flopped. The {2-Spades} turn and {7-Hearts} river kept the kings best, and Tsinis doubled through.

Hand #24: Christopher Frank raised to 90,000 in the cutoff. Georgios Sotiropoulos defended the big blind and checked a {5-Spades}{8-Clubs}{a-Clubs} flop. Frank bet 80,000 and Sotiropoulos called. Sotiropoulos checked the {3-Hearts} turn and this time folded to 185,000.

At the conclusion of the hand, players went on a one-hour dinner break.

Hand #18: Pot to Ryan Leng

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Hand #18: Christopher Frank opened for 90,000 and Ryan Leng called from the button as did big blind Georgios Sotiropoulos. The flop was {k-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and a continuation bet from Frank of 85,000 saw just Leng call. The turn was the {5-Diamonds} and a check to Leng, who bet 180,000, saw Frank fold.

Max Pescatori Eliminated in 8th Place ($39,060)

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Max Pescatori - 8th Place
Max Pescatori - 8th Place

Hand #17: Max Pescatori opened for 90,000 in second position. Both Ryan Leng (small blind) and Noah Vaillancourt (big blind) came along, seeing a {4-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop. After two checks, Pescatori fired in 150,000. Leng shoved all in and Pescatori immediately called for about 200,000 more after Vaillancourt folded.

Pescatori: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Leng: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Pescatori was best for the moment, but had some cards to fade. The {7-Clubs} made it a short sweat, as Leng picked up an unbeatable nut flush, and the meaningless river was a {9-Diamonds}.

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Michael Gagliano - 9th Place
Michael Gagliano - 9th Place

Hand #3: Ryan Leng raised to 85,000 in the hijack and Michael Gagliano grabbed his T$25,000 chips and said he was all in as he placed them in the middle.

"How much is it?" Leng said with a bit of excitement in his voice. "Six-hundred-thousand? I call."

Leng: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Gagliano: {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}

The flop came {2-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades}, leaving Gagliano in need of running spades for a realistic chance. The turn was a {5-Hearts} and the river a {9-Diamonds} and that was the end for "Gags".
