Robson Barbosa Eliminated Alan Wentz Then Gives Some Back to Jewook Oh

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Alan Wentz
Alan Wentz

Alan Wentz raised in early position and Robson Barbosa made it 61,000 to go. It was folded back to Wentz who moved all in.

"I can't fold this," said Barbosa as he announced a call with {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}.

Wentz turned over {5-Clubs}{5-Spades} and would quickly fall behind when the flop came {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. He pleaded for a five but the turn was the {2-Hearts} and the river was the {4-Clubs} and our Day 1 chip leader was eliminated in 18th place.

The very next hand Barbosa would send some of those chips over to Jewook Oh when he folded {Q-}{Q-} face up on a {10-Spades}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Spades} board while saying "biggest laydown I've ever made." Oh continues to sit near the top of the leader board.

Choi Doubles Through Stefanski, Then Doubles Up Toscano

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Bryan Choi was all in and at risk for 402,000 after a preflop raising war, and David Stefanski had him crushed.

Choi: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Stefanski: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Stefanski remained in the lead after the flop ({a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{10-Spades}) and the turn ({9-Spades}), but the {7-Hearts} spiked on the river to give Choi a straight. Stefanski slapped the felt and cussed under his breath, but quickly collected himself to cut out enough chips to pass across the felt to Choi.

A few hands later, Choi raised from under the gun, Frank Toscano moved all in for 172,000 from middle position, and David Tuthill cold-called in the small blind. Choi re-shoved for effectively 740,000, and Tuthill tank-folded.

Choi: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Toscano: {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}

This time Choi had the dominant hand in two queens, but they were again cracked as the flop came {9-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, giving Toscano a straight. The turn and river bricked off {4-Clubs}, {a-Diamonds} respectively, and neither player held a diamond, so the straight was good for a double.

Dasilva Doubles

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Mauricio Dasilva
Mauricio Dasilva

A short-stacked Mauricio Dasilva got the last of his chips in with {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} and was dominating the {Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} of Vitaly Kovyazin. The flop came {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{3-Diamonds} giving Kovyazin a flush draw.

"Diamond," he said, hoping the dealer would help him out.

The turn was the {9-Spades} and Kovyazin asked for a different card this time.

"Ten," he said, knowing that card would give him a straight.

The dealer was not on his side in this hand as the river was the {2-Clubs}. Dasilva pounded his fist on the table in excitement and doubled up to 225,000.

Borrero Busts in Massive Cooler

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Miguel Borrero - 21st Place
Miguel Borrero - 21st Place

"Ohhhhhh no!" Miguel Borrero blurted, shooting out of his chair on Table 3.

When we arrived on the scene, the board was completed {8-}{7-}{5-}{6-}{5-}. Miguel Borrero had {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} in front of him for sixes full of fives, but he was pipped by Laurence Wolf's {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} for a better full house.

According to Jeff Madsen, Borrero bet out on the flop and Wolf put in a raise. Borrero called. On the turn, Borrero check-called a bet, and the money went all in on the river.

Borrero collected himself then exited the tournament area, while Wolf is up to 1.5 million chips.
