Vance Doubles Through Mancini

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The flop read {2-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} when Peter Mancini moved all in and Tim Vance was faced with a decision for his tournament life. Vance thought for several moments before making the call for his remaining 704,000.

Vance tabled {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} for top pair top kicker and Mancini let out a smile as he turned over {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades} for nothing but an attempted bluff. The {3-Diamonds} on the turn and {6-Spades} on the river changed nothing. Mancini tried to push Vance around but he stood his ground and found a double up in the process of doing so.

Vance Running Hot

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The board read {3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Hearts} when Tim Vance moved all in for over a million into a pot around 850,000 against Peter Mancini. After quite some time Mancini folded {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} face up and Vance returned the favor, showing {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} for an over pair.

Vance has been running absolutely fantastic during the last round of play and now sits atop the leader board after Mancini made that fold.

Alex Visbisky Eliminated in 6th Place ($10,110)

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Alex Visbisky
Alex Visbisky

Peter Mancini opened to 50,000 from the cutoff and Alex Visbisky decided now was the time as he shoved he remaining 424,000 stack into the middle. Vadim Rozin took a few moments before making the call from the big blind, Mancini folded and the players turned over their hands.

Vadim Rozin: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Alex Visbisky: {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

The flop came down {j-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Rozin was still ahead with his dimes. Rozin would turn a set when the dealer flipped a {10-Diamonds} up on the board. Visbisky would now need to land a diamond on the river to keep his tournament life alive.

A river that added insult to injury landed as the {10-Clubs} hit, giving Rozin quads, sending Visbisky on his way and in the exact same position he finished this event last year.

Meyers on a Steady Climb

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

Tim Vance opened to 60,000 from the button, Chris Meyers defended his big blind and the flop came down {10-Clubs}{4-Spades}{5-Hearts}. Meyerse check-called a bet of 55,000 from Vance, the turn was a {9-Spades}.

Both players checked to the {3-Spades} on the river and Meyers again check-called a bet from Vance, but this time it was for 75,000. Vance tabled {9-Hearts}{8-Spades} for a pair of nines and it was no good as Meyers showed {q-Hearts}{10-Spades} for a flopped pair of tens, taking down the pot.

Meyers has been on a steady climb throughout the whole final table. He has been very selective of the hands he is playing but seems to win almost every one that he plays.

Victor Adams: {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Tim Vance: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
