We just had an all-in-and-a-call at two tables simultaneously. Here's the first one from the outer table:
From the hijack seat, Benjamin Zamani opened the pot to 105,000, and Jimmie Guinther moved his shortening stack all in. Zamani quickly made the call, and the cards were tabled.
Showdown
Zamani:
Guinther:
The news was not good for the at-risk player, just pipped by his opponent's overpair. The board blanked off, coming . Unable to improve, Guinther has been knocked off in 23rd place.
Darren Keyes opened the pot with a raise before the flop. John Duthie flat-called and when the action reached Praz Bansi, he moved all in over the top for 360,000. Keyes made the call and tabled , having Bansi's dominated.
The flop hit Keyes hard, giving him trips and leaving Bansi drawing to a jack. The on the turn was no help to Bansi, but the fell on the river completing his straight.
Bansi improved to 800,000 in chips after the hand while Keyes dropped to 1.1 million.
American Tyler Reiman has just eliminated fellow Yank Robert Mizrachi from the PCA Main Event.
Rieman opened the pot with a raise to 130,000. Mizrachi then came over the top with a 400,000 three-bet. Reiman moved all in putting Mizrachi to a decision for his tournament life and Mizrachi made the call.
Mizrachi:
Reiman:
The ensuing board ran out and Reiman's jacks held up to send Mizrachi packing.
After the hand, Reiman stacked up just under four million in chips.
From the hijack seat, Ryan D'Angelo came in raising to 120,000. Big blind Luc Greenwood came along with the call, and the two men watched the flop come . Greenwood check-called a bet of 130,000, and he would call another 340,000 when the turn brought the .
The river was the , pairing the board. Not slowing down now, D'Angelo moved all in to put the heat on his opponent. Greenwood tanked it up for several long minutes before sticking the remainder of his chips into the pot, putting himself at risk.
D'Angelo tabled for trips, and Greenwood returned his cards to the muck. With a quiet, "Good luck," to his table mates, Greenwood made his way out of the ropes and off to the payout desk to collect his 21st-place money.
D'Angelo is now all the way up to 9.2 million chips.
Moments ago, Tomas Lendvai played his last hand of the 2010 PCA Main Event.
Holding pocket nines, Lendvai got it all in holding pocket nines against Barry Shulman's pocket jacks. No help from the board cemented Lendvai's exit in 20th place.
Shulman, meanwhile, now has just under 2.5 million in chips.
Jeff Madsen moved all in from under-the-gun for his last 600,000 holding . Action folded around the table to Aage Ravn in the big blind who made the call with a pocket pair of fours.
The board was no help to Madsen who would settle for 19th place, a finish worth $87,500.
Richard Toth opened the pot with an all-in shove for 505,000 from the cutoff seat. In the small blind, Aage Ravn made the call with the covering stack, and Toth was now at risk of elimination. He tabled , and he was in good shape to stay alive and double against Ravn's .
Board:
That's safe for Toth, and he's picked up a double back over 1 million chips. Ravn has slipped to 3.6 million.
We caught this hand from the projector screen adjacent to the feature table stage, so our details are limited.
Ty Reiman and Praz Bansi were pitted against each other in a preflop showdown:
Reiman:
Bansi:
For as dominated as he was, Bansi picked up some outs for a chop after the flop came , but the turn and river delivered running fives and Bansi was eliminated in 18th place.
Reiman stacked up just under five million in chips after the hand.
