Chris Roth Eliminated in 6th Place ($29,829)

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Chris Roth
Chris Roth

Upon coming back from the break, there were about a half dozen all-in shoves from various players, none of which got called.

That all changed when action folded to Chris Roth on the button and he moved all in for his last 950,000. Cero Zuccarello was in the small blind and moved all in over the top, which prompted James Pupillo to get out of the way in the big.

Cero Zuccarello: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Chris Roth: {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

The board ran out {k-Spades}{6-Spades}{7-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{j-Spades} and that was all she wrote for Roth.

Donarski Fades the Flush to Double Through Zuccarello

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ken Donarski opened for 175,000 and Cero Zuccarello defended his big blind to see a {j-Spades}{a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop.

Zuccarello check-called Donaski's 125,000 continuation bet to the {9-Diamonds} turn and check-jammed after Donarski fired out 120,000. Donarski called putting his stack at risk and both players tabled their hands.

Ken Donarskin: {j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Cero Zuccarello: {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

Donarski flopped two-pair but still had to dodge some cards as Zuccarello could win with any ten, two or diamond.

Luckily for Donarski, the river fell a blank with the {3-Spades} to give him the double-up worth 940,000.

Lady Love for Gallaher

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

John Gallaher got his stack of 470,000 all in preflop and he was looking to survive against Tsz Shing.

Tsz Shing: {5-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
John Gallaher: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

The {k-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop was nothing special but the {5-Spades} turn was a gamechanger as it gave Shing the lead with a pair of fives. Fortunately for Gallaher, the {q-Diamonds} spiked on the river to give him a bigger pair and the double.

Shing Stays Aggressive

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Tsz Shing opened for 160,000 and James Pupillo defended his big blind to see a {5-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} flop.

Pupillo check-called Shing's 175,000 continuation bet to the {7-Diamonds} turn and did the same after Shing fired out 285,000.

The {7-Clubs} double-paired the board on the river and Pupillo checked one last tome to Shing who bet 600,000, sending Pupillo deep into the tank.

Pupillo's long tank forced Cero Zuccarello to call the clock and right before the tournament director got to the five-second countdown, Pupillo mucked his hand.

John Gallaher: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Cero Zuccarello: {q-Clubs}{5-Spades}

Zuccarello was in a bad spot and he didn't get so much as a sweat as the board ran out a dry {2-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}.
