After surviving that earlier encounter with Robert Kay, Rui Cao had his tournament life on the line again soon thereafter, this time against Matt Hawrilenko.

Hawrilenko has raised to 16,000 before the flop, and Cao pushed all in for 75,000. Hawrilenko called, turning over {A-Clubs}

to Cao's

.

We had ourselves a race situation, Vince.

The flop came {K-Spades}

, and Hawrilenko was in front. The turn was the {8-Hearts}

and the river the {5-Hearts}

, and Cao is out in 39th place. Hawrilenko is now up to 460,000.

Cao Survives

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Rui Cao started the day as one of the chip leaders, built his stack even further early on, but had fallen back and was down to just 28,000 when he recently pushed all in with {6-Hearts}

and was called by Robert Kay who held {A-Diamonds}

.

The flop came a tantalizing {A-Spades}

, giving Cao a full house but a set to Kay, and the possibility of drawing a better boat. But the turn was the {2-Hearts}

and the river the {10-Spades}

, and Cao survives with about 60,000 now.

Waxman Wipes Out Another, Crosses One Million

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Shortly after that hand with John Ray, Matt Waxman was soon back in action, this time versus Ilya Gorodetskiy. Gorodetskiy opened with a raise to 15,000, Waxman reraised to 47,000, Gorodetskiy came back over the top all in for 200,000 total, and Waxman called.

Gorodetskiy showed pocket sevens, and Waxman ace-king offsuit. An ace flopped, and another came on the river for good measure. Gorodetskiy hits the rail, and now Waxman is up over 1.1 million chips.
