As reported earlier Daniel Colman’s table has broken. He now has a short stacked Ivan Soshnikov to his left, then Mike McDonald. Also at the table is Billy "The Croc" Argyros.
McDonald is telling the table about his tax situation as a Canadian player, which is similar to Argyros’s in Australia where losses are tax deductible and it is therefore possible to play some tournaments as a kind of “Free roll.”
An early positioned player opened to 2,000 and Celina Lin flatted from the cutoff. Alexey Bilyuchenko three-bet the action to 6,700 from the button and it folded back to the original opener. He mulled over his decision for quite some time before plopping 8,000 total in the middle for his tournament life. Lin folded and the hands were turned over.
Bilyuchenko: ![]()
Opponent: ![]()
The board ran out ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
, eliminating Bilyuchenko's opponent from play. Bilyuchenko pulled the pot and now has about 64,000 to his name.
