Amaral Doubles

Omaha-8

Chris Amaral is back in business. His last chips were all in on the turn against Michele Limongi.

The board read {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} with Amaral showing {A-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for the best hand against the {9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{A-Hearts} of Michele Limongi.

Team Amaral sweated the river which was the...{8-Clubs} and Amaral high fives his entourage to double through to 550,000 with Limongi slipping back to 1.2 million.

Gabriel Nassif Eliminated in 7th Place ($38,947)

Omaha-8

Chris Amaral raised from middle position and Gabriel Nassif committed his last few chips preflop from the big blind.

Amaral: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts}
Nassif: {Q-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{3-Hearts}

The board fell {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and the aces of Amaral hold up to eliminate Nassif in 7th place for a pay day of $38,947.

After the hand, Amaral ran up to our desk to give a shout out, "Tell the boys back home, I'm back in the game! Tell Mom I love you, and give a big shout out to Big Glen!"

I Play a Lot of Razz My Friend

Razz

Martin Eikeng completed before Zac Fellows raised. Eikeng made the call, before leading on fourth street. Fellows called before raising enough on fifth street to put himself all in. Eikeng made the call and the boards ran out:

Eikeng: ({2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}) {6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} ({5-Spades})
Fellows: ({A-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}) {7-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{3-Spades} ({4-Diamonds})

Fellows made a seven-low to take it down.

"I play a lot of Razz my friend," chirped Fellows as he jumps back up to 400,000 chips.

Fellows Joins the Double Up Fun

Stud

The double ups continue! This time it was Zac Fellows turn against James Van Alstyne with all the chips in by fifth street.

Fellows: ({8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}) {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts} ({6-Hearts})
Van Alstyne: ({4-Clubs}{4-Spades}) {6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} ({2-Diamonds})

Fellows makes eights and threes which is good to double up.

Martin Eikeng Eliminated in 6th Place ($48,590)

Stud

Martin Eikeng completed before Zac Fellows raised, Eikeng reraised and Fellows popped it up again. Eikeng called and after a few more raises was all in on fourth street.

Before the river was dealt the boards were as follows:

Eikeng: ({A-Spades}{9-Clubs}) {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}
Fellows: ({J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}) {4-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

Fellows summed up the situation and before revealing his card he rhetorically sighed "Jack?"... and boom, flipped the {J-Diamonds} on the river to the roar of the rail to make a bigger full house!

Eikeng needed to find an ace or the case nine to survive but couldn't only find the case {J-Spades}.

A dramatic end to the tournament for Eikeng as he is eliminated in 6th place for $48,590 as Fellows jumps up to 700,000 to be back in contention!
