David Vu Eliminated by Arish Nat on the Bubble

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Arish Nat was under the gun and raised to 15,000. Action folded around to David Vu, who went all in from the big blind for his last 70,000 or so. Nat called and action was paused until it was determined that there were no other all-in situations with which to compete, at which point it was time for the runout.

David Vu: {a-}{k-}
Arish Nat: {a-}{a-}

The board ran out {5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} to secure the elimination for Nat, resulting in Vu hitting the rail in 73rd place as the official bubble boy of the WSOP Circuit Thunder Valley Main Event.

Kitagawa Wins Five-Way Pot on Turn

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Michael Lin opened to 11,000 from middle position and received calls from Kelly Minkin in the hijack, Kyle Kitagawa on the button, and both blinds in Jeffrey Griffiths and Kelsey Hendricks.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and action checked to Lin, who made a continuation-bet of 15,500. Only Kitagawa stuck around to take action heads up to the turn {9-Hearts}. Lin checked and Kitagawa bet 32,000.

"That's a bluff," said Lin fairly quickly. "But maybe you're bluffing with the better hand," he added, taking a few more moments to send his hand to the muck, resulting in a won pot for Kitagawa.

A Battle of Big Stacks

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Roman Shainiuk
Roman Shainiuk

There was a pile of chips in the middle on a board reading {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and Paul Chai, who was second in chips entering Day 2, checked from under the gun. His opponent Roman Shainiuk, who was the chip leader coming into the day. Shainiuk bet 45,000 and Chai put in a check-raise to around 200,000. Shainiuk thought for a bit and folded.

With the pot, Chai is now just shy of a half-million in chips; and while Shainiuk was not the victor of this hand, he seems to be off to a great start as well, boasting a stack of over 600,000 as what is likely to still be the chip lead in the tournament as the bubble approaches.
