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.

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.
