Edmund Liu raised under the gun to 28,000, and Lorenzo Bosforo made the call in late position. Soi Nguyen also called, and the three saw a flop of . Liu checked to Bosforo who fired out, and Nguyen folded. Liu grabbed enough yellow T25,000 chips to put Bosforo all in, and he quickly called!
Bosforo:
Liu:
Bosforo was ahead with his kings and a flush draw, but he would still need to dodge an ace or a queen from Liu. The turn brought the , and the river came the , giving Bosforo the hand.
Bosforo scored the double up to 520,000, while Liu drops to 1.2 million.
Action started with David Randall raising it up to 32,000 in middle position. It folded around to Erik Roussakis on the button, and he reraised to 75,000. Ted Jivkov was in the big blind, and he moved all in for 183,000! It got back to Randall, and he clearly had a tough decision to make. After about two minutes in the tank, Randall released his hand, and Roussakis instantly called.
Jivkov:
Roussakis:
It was the ultimate cooler for Jivkov, as his kings were dominated by the only hand that could beat him. The board ran down , and Roussakis scored the knock out, moving over one million in the process.
Action folded around to Lorenzo Bosforo, and he raised to 33,000. David Randall was next to act, and he moved all in for about 360,000. Everyone else got out of the way, and it was back to Bosforo. He paused for a few moments before announcing call.
Randall:
Bosforo:
It was a tough slowroll for Randall, made worse by the fact that his suits were both dominated. The flop came down , and Bosforo was still in front. The turn brought the , and Randall was looking for a red nine. The river was a tease, as it was the , and when the stacks were counted, Bosforo had Randall covered.
Bosforo is up to 900,000 after that hand, while Randall is out in 8th place. It's not all bad news for him though. He did take the lead in the points race here at Rincon, but he will lose that lead if Jonathan Chehanske outlasts one more player.
The eliminations are coming fast here at Rincon! Just a few hands after David Randall busted in 8th, we lost James Czarnecki in 7th. Action started with Soi Nguyen raising to 35,000. It folded to Czarnecki, and he moved all in for 166,000. Everyone else folded, and Nguyen asked for a count. Once he got the official total, he made the call.
Nguyen:
Czarnecki:
It was a dream flop for Nguyen, coming . Czarnecki was already shaking hands with the players, even though he could still catch runner runner to survive. Someone on the rail shouted for a deuce, and the dealer obliged, putting the on the turn. Czarnecki could catch a miracle if a three came on the river, but it was the .
Nguyen strengthens his chip lead with that hand, as he is now up to 1.866 million.
There has been a good amount of three betting so far at the final table, but we have yet to see a four bet. That is until just now, and it came from the last woman standing: Lynda Tran.
Tran opened it up under the gun to 35,000, and she was called by Edmund Liu and Lorenzo Bosforo. Action folded around to Soi Nguyen in the big blind, and he got raising chips out. He put in a bet of 121,000, and it was back on Tran. She didn't take long to cut out a stack of yellow T25,000 chips, and she made it 300,000 to go. Liu and Bosforo quickly folded, and Nguyen took only about 10 seconds to fold himself.
Tran has now joined the million chip club, with 1.033 million.

Erik Roussakis opened from under the gun to 35,000, and it folded around to Jonathan Chehanske. He moved all in for his last 123,000, and Lorenzo Bosforo was next to act. He tanked for about 90 seconds, clearly thinking with a big hand. Eventually, he folded.
Soi Nguyen was next in the small blind, and he let out a chuckle when he looked at his cards. He tanked for about a minute himself before folding, and Roussakis said "let's gamble" and called.
Roussakis:
Chehanske:
Roussakis was drawing very live, but the flop nailed Chehanske, coming . Chehanske sat back down in his seat, but the on the turn made him sweat a bit. Roussakis could now catch an eight for a straight, but the river was the .
Chehanske doubles to 260,000 after that hand, while Roussakis drops back below one million.
