Talbot Eliminated by Fay
Talbot Eliminated by Fay

Following a min-raise to 240,000 by ".COM??LOL", "tablepanic" moved in for the last 1,140,584 on the button and Viktor "papan9_p$" Ustimov reshoved for more than double of that out of the small blind to isolate.

"tablepanic": {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Viktor "papan9_p$" Ustimov: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Neither player hit on the {a-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{6-Spades} board which awarded the pot to Ustimov.

Talbot Eliminated by Fay

A short-stacked Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot three-bet all-in from the button and was instantly called by the initial raiser Eduardo "SAFADA1" Fay.

Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Eduardo "SAFADA1" Fay: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

There was no miracle on the {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{a-Hearts} board to send Talbot out in 79th place.

"RUMUKULUS": {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Ustimov doubles
Ustimov doubles

Viktor "papan9_p$" Ustimov raised to 240,000 and called a three-bet to 642,000 by table neighbor Pablo "elmelogno4" Melogno to see a flop of {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. Ustimov check-called a bet of 682,515 and check-called all-in for 3,090,271 on the {3-Diamonds} turn when Melogno made it 3,540,000 to go.

Viktor "papan9_p$" Ustimov: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Pablo "elmelogno4" Melogno: {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

The {6-Clubs} on the river whiffed the combo draw of Melogno and Ustimov doubled.

Andy "wiisssppppaa" Taylor then defended the big blind and check-jammed the {9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop for 2,592,879 when facing a continuation bet of 412,500 by Michael "munchenHB" Telker, who made the call.

Andy "wiisssppppaa" Taylor: {9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Michael "munchenHB" Telker: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Instead of clubs, Telker made superior two pair on the {j-Spades} turn and {a-Diamonds} river.

Speranza Final Casualty of the Day

Level 31 : 70,000/140,000, 17,500 ante
Speranza eliminated by Thompson
Speranza eliminated by Thompson

With the elimination of "xnrobix" all other tables just completed their final hand and that would result in another casualty.

Gary "GaryT20" Thompson opened to 280,000 and Luciano "lucianodayan" Dayan defended the small blind, as did Gianluca "Tankanza" Speranza in the big blind. Speranza check-shoved the {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop for 3,121,194 and Thompson called after he had invested 434,000 for a continuation bet.

Gianluca "Tankanza" Speranza: {q-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Gary "GaryT20" Thompson: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Speranza had plenty of outs with his gutshot and two live cards but the {5-Clubs} turn and {3-Spades} river were not what he was looking for.
