Febbraio Plays it Slow

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Small blind Nicholas Febbraio called a raise from a middle-position opponent, and they both checked until the river. With the board reading {3-Clubs}{10-Spades}{2-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, Febbraio bet out 300,000. His opponent called after some thought.

"Boat," Febbraio said, tabling {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for a flopped set.

Two Tables

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

With the recent elimination of a player who was on incredibly short stack of two antes, 18 players are left. The tournament clock's been paused, and the tournament is packing up and moving downstairs to the main poker room so the tournament staff can set up for the televised main event final table in the event center.

Set Satisfactory for Surapaneni

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

After a flop of {6-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}, three players got all in.

Michael Tauman: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Satish Surapaneni: {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}
Third player: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}

Two players had outflopped Tauman's rockets, and the {k-Hearts} and {10-Clubs} left both sets ahead of him. Surapaneni had the least chips, so he tripled up, while Tauman was covered by the player with fives, so he exited the tournament.

Dyment Hearts His Heart

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante

Ilya Dyment shoved for 645,000 after action folded to his small blind, and the big blind tanked for a bit before calling off all but 5,000 of his stack.

Dyment: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Big blind: {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The flop brought help for the big blind: {j-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, giving him top pair. He needed to fade a heart and an ace, but the turn was a {3-Hearts}, leaving him drawing dead.

Olarte Spikes Unlikely Out

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante

Mikey Olarte opened for a raise, and a player behind him shoved for 255,000. Olarte made the call.

Olarte: {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}

Things looked grim for Olarte when the flop came {4-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, giving his opponent a flush draw. A {2-Diamonds} turn changed nothing, but Olarte was able to spike the {j-Hearts} on the river to bust his opponent.
