Day 2 Chip Leader Calamusa Eliminated

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Pierre Calamusa
Pierre Calamusa

To say it hasn't been the best of days for Pierre Calamusa at the table is quite the understatement. The Frenchman, who started off as the chip leader, couldn't get much going throughout Day 3 and was down to about 200,000 in chips when his final hand occured.

After unknown preflop action, the flop came {A-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. Calamusa checked, Daniel Strelitz bet 45,000, Calamusa check-shoved and Strelitz had a very easy call.

Pierre Calamusa: {10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Daniel Strelitz: {A-Diamonds}{6-Spades}

The {8-Spades} turn and {7-Hearts} river completed the board to end Calamusa's tournament in 25th place ($44,060). The 24 remaining players will redraw for the final three tables.

Strelitz Doubles Through Gofman

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Daniel Strelitz
Daniel Strelitz

After an open raise, Aleksandr Gofman on the button three-bet to 100,000 and Daniel Strelitz in the small blind four-bet to 275,000. The initial raiser folded and Gofman called to see a flop of {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. Strelitz continued right away for 150,000 and Gofman called.

On the {6-Hearts} turn, Strelitz fired a second barrel of 225,000 and Gofman tossed in calling chips to see the {Q-Hearts} on the river. Strelitz moved all in and Gofman asked for a call. The shove was for 621,000 total and Gofman tossed in a single chip for the call.

As soon as Strelitz turned over his {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}, Gofman mucked his cards in disgust. They were revealed as the {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} for the inferior full house and Gofman lost a big portion of his stack.

Pantoja Shows Once More

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Felipe Pantoja limped and four players headed to the flop including the Brazilian, Scott Wellenbach, Brian Altman and Bob Bounahra in the big blind. The {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop, action checked to Pantoja and his bet of 30,000 was called only by Bounahra. After the {10-Diamonds} turn, Bounahra checked once more and Pantoja made it 100,000 to go.

Bounahra used one time bank and folded.

One table over, Jeff Hakim oped and Vicent Bosca came along on the button. On a {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop, Hakim checked and called a bet of 30,000. The {6-Clubs} turn went check, check, and Hakim's bet of 90,000 on the {A-Hearts} river won the pot without showdown, as Bosca ended up folding.

Ditz Eliminated by Pantoja

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Franz Ditz
Franz Ditz

Franz Ditz raised to 140,000 from under the gun, leaving a small stack of T-1,000 chips behind. Felipe Pantoja called from the small blind, Scott Wellenbach folded the big blind and Pantoja already revealed {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades} before realizing a few more chips needed to go in.

Pantoja stuck those in on the {9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop and Ditz quickly called it off with {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}. Neither turn {3-Hearts} nor river {8-Clubs} helped him and he was eliminated in 26th place.
