Francisco Gomez

Paul Balzano opened to 400,000 from under the gun and Francisco Gomez three-bet shoved for 2,800,000 total. Balzano snap-called and the two tabled their hands with Gomez at risk.

Francisco Gomez: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Paul Balzano: {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}

The flop came down with an ace in the window to give Gomez the lead but when the dealer fanned out the flop it was all but over for Gomez when {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} landed on the board. The {3-Clubs} turn had Gomez drawing dead to the {7-Spades} river, sending him out the door in seventh for a respectable $48,195.

Ioannis Patsourakis Eliminated in 6th Place ($61,616)

Level 34 : 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Ioannis Patsourakis
Ioannis Patsourakis

Ioannis Patsourakis moved all in prelfop and was called by Robert Manjura who had a smaller stack. David Jackson folded after a moment of deliberation.

Patsourakis had the {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} dominating the {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} of Manjura.

The flop gave Manjura a flush draw as all diamons came off {q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. The turn brought home the nut flush when the {k-Diamonds} came off and the {3-Spades} on the river gave Manjura the pot and crippled Patsourakis's stack.

Shortly afterwards Manjura jammed from under the gun and Patsourakis called from the big blind.

Ioannis Patourakis {8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Robert Manjura {k-Spades}{q-Spades}

The flop came {2-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{5-Spades} to give Patsourakis the lead. The turn was the {10-Hearts} and the river was the {7-Spades} to flush Patsourakis out once again.

David Jackson

James Calderaro opened to 500,000 from the button and David Jackson three-bet to 1,825,000 in the big blind. Calderaro thought for well over a minute but ultimately he put in the chips to call.

The dealer fanned out {j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} on the flop and Jackson pushed in 900,000. Calderaro announced all in and before he could even push a chip Jackson called, putting in his 4,400,000 and he was the one at risk.

David Jackson: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}
James Calderaro: {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

The flop Jackson a set and Calderaro the nut-flush draw. A {4-Spades} turn gave ease to Jackson as he filled up and Calderaro was then drawing dead to the {k-Spades} river card, doubling Jackson up.

Balzano Takes Commanding Lead

Level 34 : 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Balzano slammed over {j-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for a boat and Jackson looked of disgust as he sent a {j-Diamonds} into the muck, shipping the pot to Balzano.
