Three Strikes and You're Out

After taking two heavy blows Ben Zamani was a hurt player and a third heavy blow knocked him out.

His opponent was Deb Blair again and all the money went in on a {J-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {7-Clubs} flop.

Blair was holding {K-Diamonds} {J-Spades} to Zamani's {J-Diamonds} {2-Spades}.

Zamani was in need of help but it didn't come and he goes from the summit to out in three hands.

Blair on the other hand is up to 531,000.

Everything is Not Pechie

Justin Pechie has just left the Brasilia room. He got all his chips in preflop with {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts} and was called by Trevor Donaldson and his {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts}.

The board blanked off {5-?} {2-?} {9-?} {5-?} {3-?} and Pechie was eliminated. On his way out Jean-Robert Bellande said "you played good kid. You couldn't have played any better."

Donaldson is up to 220,000.

Shark Attack

An early position raiser makes it 20,000 to go before Humberto Brenes moves all in for 44,000. Another player calls and the original raiser passed rather than see a flop for another 19,000.

The board comes {9-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}.

Humberto makes two pair and moves up to 140,000.
