Gugliuzza Three-Bet Jams the Flop

Level 24 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

David Stamm opened to 100,000 from the cutoff and Emanuele Gugliuzza called from the small blind.

Gugliuzza led out for 250,000 on the J109 flop before Stamm made it 600,000. Gugliuzza used up a time bank before moving all in for 2,335,000.

Stamm, with around 1,400,000 behind his 600,000 bet, used a few time banks of his own.

"I guess I'm beat," said Stamm, who folded and declared he had bottom two pair.

Gugliuzza told Stamm he made a good a fold.

Matthew Lambrecht Eliminated in 22nd Place ($19,469)

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Matthew Lambrecht
Matthew Lambrecht

Matthew Lambrecht bet 450,000 preflop (a virtual all-in), leaving himself with only 30,000 behind and after a couple of seconds, Emanuele Gugliuzza just called.

The flop came out 10A8 and Gugliuzza moved all in to cover Lambrecht.

"I'm probably not folding," Lambrecht said as he spread all of his time banks out in front of him.

After he used several of them, he decided to rip off the bandaid and made the call to put himself at risk.

Matthew Lambrecht: 66
Emanuele Gugliuzza: A7

Lambrecht was going to need to hit a six to stay alive, but the runout of JK did not do it for him and he was eliminated in 22nd place.

Threes Full for Galinec

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Mo Zhou opened to 100,000 from the cutoff with Ivan Galinec and Fabrice Bigot calling from the blinds.

The J73 flop checked through to the A turn. Action checked to Zhou, who bet 150,000. Only Galinec called.

The 7 river checked through to showdown and Zhou mucked after seeing Galinec's 33, which was good for threes full of sevens.

Mark Dickstein: AJ
Mo Zhou: AA

"Well, good game guys," Dickstein sighed as he threw his hands up in the air.

The board ran out 5446J to keep Zhou in the lead and Dickstein was eliminated in 24th place.

Nikitin Eliminated; Final Three Tables

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Anatoly Nikitin
Anatoly Nikitin

Short-stacked Anatoly Nikitin moved all in for his last 80,000 and then Fabrice Bigot re-raised to 200,000 to isolate. The other players got out of the way and the cards were tabled.

Anatoly Nikitin: QQ
Fabrice Bigot: K4

Nikitin was in a good position to double up with his pocket queens but the flop of KA2 was heartbreaking as it gave Bigoit the lead with his pair of kings. The runout of J7 did not help Nikitin and he was sent to the payout desk.

With his elimination, the players are now down to the final three tables.

Stellwagon Burns Through Timebanks; Stamm Chooses Javier's for Dinner

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Jeffrey Stellwagon
Jeffrey Stellwagon

Jeffrey Stellwagon raised to 415,000 from under the gun, leaving 20,000 behind. David Stamm called from the small blind.

Stamm put his opponent all in on the K42 flop, and Stellwagon entered the tank. He then tossed his five timebank cards into the middle preemptively.

As Stellwagon's time ticked down, Stamm dug into his dinner which was from Javier's. He had some chips and salsa, with some beef and vegetables. As he washed it down with a diet coke, Stellwagon called.

Jeffrey Stellwagon: 55
David Stamm: 66

The 37 completed the board and kept Stellwagon alive as he rivered a flush.

"That may have been the biggest all in of my life," said Stellwagon, who was looking to make the next payjump.
