Gioi Luong Loses A Brutal Hand
and called when Gioi Luong raised with 
. And the flop? 
You’d expect fireworks and that’s exactly what we had. Bronshtein bet, Luong raised all-in and Bronshtein called…and found out he was drawing to the two eights left in the deck.
The turn? The
.No Ace fell on the river and that horrible beat meant that Gioi Luong was eliminated in 7th place instead of becoming our chip leader. The $31,070 he’ll take home will probably provide small comfort after losing that hand.

Sick Hand, Take Two

. Bronshtein was getting the right price, so he called.The
flop gave Collison an inside-straight draw that canceled out Bronshtein’s jacks. The 
came on the turn and Bronshtein was drawing dead to a four.And the
spiked on the river.A three-outer this time, not as bad as the one-outer than eliminated Gioi Luong, but that was still enough to eliminate Bob Collison in 6th place, for which he receives $41,427.
Big-Stack Bully
Lawson Doubles Up
board didn't improve Bronshtein's hand. That doubled Lawson up to 650,000 and dropped Bronshtein down to 760,000.
David Zarrin is Eliminated in Fifth Place
Zarrin called and both players checked the
on the turn. The 
on the river was a scare card that might have convinced Zarrin not to put any more chips in the pot, but he made a move for the rest of his chips and Lawson quickly called. That eliminated David Zarrin in fifth place, which was good for a $52,874 payday.
Bronshtein Hits Late to Win a Pot From Lawson
flop and checked it, and when he turned the 
he led out for 35K. But that card gave Bronshtein, holding 
, a flush draw, one that came in when the spiked on the river. Lawson checked and then called Bronshtein's 65,000 bet, and that big hand moved Bronshtein back near the chip lead.
Greg Hopkins Gets No Customers
and Greg Hopkins called in the big blind with 
. The flop came 
and when Lawson and Newburger didn't make a move at the pot, Hopkins threw in a bet. The others escaped the trap and Hopkins picked up the pot.
Jason Newburger Doubles Up
, and then Pete Lawson reraised with . That gave Bronshtein a decision to make, and he chose to lay his hand down. With one fewer ace in play, Newburger was in better shape than your usual coin-flip, and the
board didn’t improve Lawson’s hand and doubled Newburger to 325K. If Bronshtein had chosen to call, he might’ve won a nice pot and eliminated Newburger…but that’s a pretty big if.
