A player under the gun opened to 1,200 and got one caller before a player in middle position moved all in for 13,700. [Removed:137] was on the button and moved in over the top for 15,500. The first two players in the pot folded and the two remaining flipped their cards over.
[Removed:137]: 
Opponent: 
The 
flop was a good one for Kantamaneni but the 
turn left him needing to fade a gut shot as well. The 
river was a brick and Kantamaneni sent his opponent to the rail.

Mike Shin, who currently leads the MSPT Season 10 Player of the Year race by a wide margin, raised to 700 from early position and called when the player on the button three-bet to 3,700.
Both players checked the 
flop and then Shin bet 3,500 on the 
turn.
His opponent called and the completed the board on the river. Shin bet again, this time 7,000, and the player on the button thought long and hard before making the call.
Shin rolled over the 
and it was good as the player on the button mucked.

Bill Byrnes started the action with a raise to 2,000 from middle position. A player in the hijack moved all in for 8,250 and Byrnes went into the tank when the action got back around to him. Byrnes decided he was getting to correct price and put in the chips to call.
Bill Byrnes: 
Opponent: 
Byrnes picked up out counterfeit outs on the 
flop and took the lead on the 
turn. The

The preflop action escaped us but we do know that Nate Tarantelli got his stack of 19,975 all in and was in a bad spot.
Nate Tarantelli: 
Opponent: 
Tarantelli needed some help with his most immediate outs being an ace. Fortunately for him, and much to the dismay of his opponent, he found one on the 
flop.
Neither the 
turn nor 
river changed a thing and Tarantelli shipped the double.
