Action folded around to Greg Brask, and he moved all in for his last 200,000. The next player to act, Eric Varela, made the call, and it got to Ronnie Fante. He shoved all in for less then Brask, and the blinds got out of the way. The cards were flipped, and Fante was in great shape.
Fante:
Varela:
Brask:
Fante was well out in front, but everything changed when the dealer fanned out a flop. Yup, that's the nuts for Brask. He would only lose if one of his opponents made runner runner, but the on the turn sealed the hand. The meaningless river was the , and Brask secured the near triple up, while Fante was sent packing.
Ronnie Fante open shoved for his last 103,000 in early position, and Doug Lee made the call. Zhong Chen was next to act, and as soon as he peaked down his cards, he moved all in, having Lee covered. Lee folded his hand, and Fante had a chance to triple up while facing one opponent.
Fante:
Chen:
It was a dream situation for Fante, who was in fantastic shape in spite of Chen aggression. However, that dream turned into a nightmare when the flop came . Fante would now need a ten, and while he didn't get it on the turn, the was the best non-ten card. Fante could now catch a king or eight for the win, and the hit the river.
After that hand, Fante is up to 340,000, while Lee drops to 330,000, and Chen falls to 1.3 million.
Action folded around to Zhong Chen in the small blind, and he limped in. Mack Lee then moved all in from the big blind for 140,000, and Chen beat him into the pot.
Chen:
Lee:
The trap worked perfectly for Chen, as he got Lee to shove into his aces. The board didn't help Lee, coming , and Chen collected the pot to up his stack to 1.575 million
With that, we are down to our final two tables. There will not be a redraw, simply a normal table break. The players will redraw.
Igor Zektser shoved all in on the button for his last 199,000, and Joe Tehan was in the big blind. After a minute of tanking, he made the call.
Tehan:
Zektser:
Zektser had the edge, but that advantage disappeared after the flop came down . Zekster was looking for an ace, but the turn brought the and the river was the .
Tehan is once again a force after that hand, as he now has 575,000.
It's gonna be a long trip home for Ryan Lenaghan who was just sent packing by Baptiste Chavaillaz. Preflop Chavaillaz raised to 20,000 from middle position and Lenaghan made a reraise to 65,000 from the cutoff. Chavaillaz called and it was off to the flop.
Flop:
Chavaillaz checked, which prompted Lenaghan to bet 72,000. Chavaillaz called and it was to turn.
Turn:
Chavaillaz checked again, and this time Lenaghan bet out 155,000. Chavaillaz quickly moved all in, and Lenaghan called even quicker.
Chavaillaz:
Lenaghan:
Chavaillaz had flopped a set and Lenaghan was in big trouble, he needed to catch up on the river, but the wasn't the help he was looking for. Chavaillaz had Lenaghan covered and that was all she wrote for Lenaghan who finished in 21st ($9,160).
The 19 remaining players are taking another 10 minute break. We are scheduled to play three more levels tonight, but if we get down to our final table before that, we will wrap up the night then.
