Ryan D'Angelo Eliminated in 5th Place (A$207,480)

Webjoker • Level 20: 12,000-24,000, 3,000 ante
Ryan D'Angelo
Ryan D'Angelo

Brandon Adams seemed to have lost his momentum a little bit, raising and giving up in quite a bit of pots. Just now, though, he changed that around.

Adams opened for 50,000 under the gun and James Chen called from the button. Big blind Ryan D'Angelo squeezed to 215,000, leaving himself about 580,000 or so behind. Adams didn't hesitate and shoved all in right away. Chen folded, D'Angelo called after thinking about it for about a minute or two.

Ryan D'Angelo: {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Brandon Adams: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}

The {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Spades} flop was anything but good for D'Angelo and he got started shoving his chips to Adams. He increased his odds of staying alive with the {9-Hearts} on the turn but the {5-Clubs} on the river was a blank and D'Angelo said his goodbyes.

James Chen opened under the gun for 50,000 and small blind Brandon Adams was the sole caller. Both checked {3-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and the {J-Hearts} hit the turn. Adams bet 70,000 and Chen called. The {7-Diamonds} completed the board and Adams bet 210,000. Chen tanked for a fair bit before he called, only to muck upon being shown {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs} by Adams.

Nick Petrangelo Eliminated in 6th Place (A$143,640)

Webjoker • Level 18: 8,000-16,000, 2,000 ante
Nick Petrangelo
Nick Petrangelo

From early position, Nick Petrangelo raised to 40,000. Big blind Brandon Adams called and both checked the flop of {8-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. The {5-Diamonds} on the turn was seen for free and Adams bet out 65,000. Petrangelo called.

The river {5-Diamonds} had Adams bet 160,000. Petrangelo shoved for about 470,000 or so and Adams wasted no time calling. Petrangelo showed {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for the rivered flush but that hand was second best as Adams tabled {Q-Spades}{5-Spades} for the rivered full house.

Nick Petrangelo out in sixth place, down to five players now who all are guaranteed A$207,480.

Mustapha Kanit Eliminated in 7th Place (A$119,700)

Webjoker • Level 18: 8,000-16,000, 2,000 ante
Mustapha Kanit
Mustapha Kanit

Brandon Adams opened the action with a raise to 45,000 from the hijack. Mustapha Kanit, his neighbor in the cutoff, three-bet all in for 376,000. Big blind James Chen asked for a count and called, Adams folded right away.

Mustapha Kanit: {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
James Chen: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

The {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} did not do much for Kanit and the {3-Clubs} on the turn certainly wasn't any help either. Kanit needed one of the two remaining queens to double up but failed to hit as the {3-Spades} completed the board.

Down to six players, all are guaranteed A$143,640.
