Francis Mahiout Eliminated

A raising war occurred preflop between Francis Mahiout and Amir Vahedi. When the smoke cleared, Mahiout was all in and Vahedi called.

Mahiout: {J-Hearts} {J-Clubs}
Vahedi: {5-Diamonds} {3-Clubs}

Board: {K-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}

Vahedi's two pair send Mahiout to the rail and move Vahedi up to 67,000 in chips.

Noah Schwartz Doubles Up

Noah Schwartz was all in against Richard Tatalovich. Schwartz held {A-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} while Tatalovich held {K-Hearts} {10-Hearts}. Tatalovich flopped two pair on a flop of {K-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}. The turn of the {3-Clubs} gave Schwartz a gutshot wheel draw. The river was the {2-Hearts}, which filled out Schwartz's wheel and moved him up to 44,500 in chips.

Joseph Grech Eliminated By Ryan Young

Ryan Young raised enough preflop to put Joseph Grech all in. Grech made the call showing {A-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}. Young held {K-Hearts} {K-Clubs}. Grech hit an ace on a flop of {8-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {A-Clubs}. Only a king, running clubs, or running straight cards would help Young. Unfortuantely for Grech, a {J-Clubs} hit the turn and a {7-Clubs} hit the river to give Young a flush and eliminate Grech.

Julius Colman Doubles

After John Anhalt limped on the button Julius Colman moved all in from the small blind for his last 13,000 in chips. The big blind folded and Anhalt made the call.

Colman: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Anhalt: {A-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}

The board ran out {2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and Colman finds a much needed double up to jump to about 28,000 in chips.

Sach Gets Lucky Multi-Tabling

Jim Sachinidis is currently multi-tabling between today's event and the $2,500 Six-Handed No Limit Event which just kicked off today. We are currently located at the back of the Brasilia Room, however the Six-Handed Event is spread throughout areas in the Brasilia and Amazon Rooms. Sachinidis has drawn very lucky as he finds himself only two tables away from his table in the other event, allowing him to run back and forth frequently! Something that wouldn't be possible if his other table was hundreds of yards away in the massive Amazon Room.
