Hand #8 - Rene Mouritsen

Jesse Chinni has the button in Seat 9. There was a dealer change before this hand, and the button failed to move from Chinni.

Rene Mouritsen raises to 60,000. Jesse Chinni is the only caller, from the button.

Flop: {10-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {10-Hearts}, and Mouritsen bets out 90,000. Chinni comes along.

The turn is the {2-Clubs}. Mouritsen checks, as does Chinni.

The river is the {K-Clubs}. Both players check. Mouritsen shows down the winning {K-?}, for kings and tens with a nine kicker.

Hand #7 - Alex 'Diesel' Bolotin Eliminated in 9th Place ($63,183)

Alex Bolotin - 9th Place
Alex Bolotin - 9th Place
Jesse Chinni has the button in Seat 9. Action folds around to Alex 'Diesel' Bolotin who makes it 52,000 to go. Albert Iversen considers the bet for quite some time before eventually announcing a reraise to 132,000. The action then folds back around the table to Bolotin, who flat-calls.

Both players check the {A-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} flop and when the {7-Spades} falls on the turn, Bolotin open-shoves all in for a total of 112,000. Iversen quickly calls and tables {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts} to find himself well ahead of Bolotin's {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds}.

An inconsequential {9-Clubs} fell on the river and Iversen's two pair held up to earn him the pot and eliminate Bolotin from the tournament in ninth place. Alex will take home $63,183 in prize money for his efforts.

The flop comes {3-Spades} {A-Hearts} {6-Spades}. Chinni checks, and Iversen slides out a bet of 165,000. Chinni folds.

Hand #5 - Scott Freeman

Aliaksandr Dzianisau has the button in Seat 7. Action is folded around to Scott Freeman who makes it 41,000 to go. Phong Ngo makes the call from the big blind and sees a flop of {7-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {K-Spades}.

Both players check the flop and the action remains the same through the river as the board fills out {10-Clubs}, {2-Hearts}.

At the showdown, Scott tables a pocket pair of sixes and takes down the pot.
