Benjamin Craig
Benjamin Craig

Benjamin Craig shoved for the last of his chips under the gun and action folded to Jesse Vilchez, who called in the big blind.

Benjamin Craig: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Jesse Vilchez: {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

Craig asked to get lucky after finding a dominating chance at a double, but instead, the dealer brought a flop of {2-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{10-Hearts} to give Vilchez a pair and flush draw. Left with two outs Craig found three counterfeit outs on the turn {a-Spades} but failed hit on the river {3-Diamonds}. He respectfully wished the table a good game as the pot was sent to Vilchez and then proceeded to make his way to the payout desk.

Orlando Romero Eliminated in 10th Place ($14,706)

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Orlando Romero
Orlando Romero

Brandon Lombardo saw action fold to him in the small blind and went all in for 2.7 million. Orlando Romero quickly called in the big blind.

Orlando Romero: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Brandon Lombardo: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Unfortunately for Romero and much to Lombardo's delight, an ace came on the turn as the board ran out {6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{3-Clubs} to result in Lombardo hitting a much-needed three outer to win the pot. Stacks were counted afterwards, Romero's was totaled to be 2.13 million, and he wound up finishing in 10th place as a result.

Vlichez Applies Pressure With The Big Stack

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Andrew Rodgers raised to 200,000 on the button and was called by Jesse Vilchez, defending his big blind. The flop came {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and Vilchez checked. Rodgers continuation-bet 180,000 and Vilchez thought for close to a minute before putting in a check-raise to 545,000.

Rodgers then went into the tank, thinking for about two minutes. Eventually, he opted not to commit any further chips and instead sent his cards to the muck. With the pot, Vilchez now finds himself over 6.5 million with nine players still remaining.

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Jesse Vilchez opened in the cutoff and was called by Sara Stohler in the small blind. Action went heads up to a flop of {10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and Stohler led out with a bet of 325,000. Vilchez called.

Action checked through the turn {a-Clubs} and the river fell {3-Diamonds}. Stohler fired out 450,000 and Vilchez confirmed the amount before quickly calling.

Stohler hesitated to show her cards and then tabled {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. In turn, Vilchez turned over {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for tens up.

"Nice hand," said Stohler as the pot went Vilchez's way.

Landon Gets Value from Brandon

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

There was 850,000 in the middle with heads-up action between Landon Tice in the big blind and Brandon Lombardo, who was on the button. The board read {6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and Tice was in the process of firing out 350,000. Lombardo thought for a bit and eventually found a call.

Upon being called, Tice tabled {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} for sevens up and got a muck from Lombardo to earn him the pot.

Mike Shin Eliminated in 9th Place ($14,706)

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Mike Shin
Mike Shin

Mike Shin opened to 900,000 in the small blind, leaving just blue T5,000 chips behind. Jesse Vilchez was in the big blind and reraised to put him all in.

In the meantime, a hand on the adjacent table ensued and Byung Kim wound up all in against Landon Tice on a board of {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. Tice had {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and doubled Shin, who had {q-Spades}{7-Clubs} and finished with a full house as the river {4-Hearts} came.

Once the hand had finished, Shin called off his remaining chips and was off to the races.

Mike Shin: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Jesse Vilchez: {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

The flop {8-Clubs}{2-Spades}{j-Spades} gave Shin a set of eights but also gave Vilchez an open-ended straight draw. The turn came {7-Clubs} to complete the draw, and Shin was unable to see a paired board on the river {10-Hearts} to result in his elimination from the tournament in ninth place.

With eight remaining, the tournament has officially reached the final table and the tournament clock has been paused to clean tables and rack up chips. Chip counts and a seat draw will be posted shortly.
