Watch Out for that Tran

Adam Latimer opened with a raise to 36,000 from the cutoff, and Thai Tran reraised to 101,000 from the button. The blinds got out, then Latimer repopped it to 236,000. Tran responded by shoving all in, his stack well covering Latimer's. Latimer gave it a deep think, then let it go.

Latimer has 825,000 now, while Tran is up to 1.91 million.

Maimone {A-Diamonds} {J-Spades}

From the cutoff seat, David Benyamine raised before Harry Kazazian reraised from the small blind. Benyamine made the call.

The flop came down {A-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} and both players checked. The turn brought the {4-Spades} and Kazazian checked again. Benyamine stacked some chips and fired a bet. Kazazian quickly folded and Benyamine showed {K-Spades} {J-Clubs}.

"You had me crushed." commented Kazazian.

On the next hand, Kazazian fired all in from the button and was called by Billy McMahon in the big blind. McMahon held {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} while Kazazian held {J-Hearts} {9-Hearts}.

The board ran out {K-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {3-Diamonds} to send Kazazian to the rail.

Eskenazi Exits

Four players at the featured table saw a flop of {3-Clubs} {8-Spades} {K-Diamonds}. All four men involved checked it around, and the turn card was the {7-Diamonds}. Tom Schneider checked again, and Scott Eskenazi put out a bet of 100,000. After some quick deliberation, Clayton Newman moved all in for 301,000 total. Prahlad Friedman and Schneider ducked out, but Eskenazi would reluctantly make the call for his own tournament life.

Showdown
Eskenazi: {K-Spades} {J-Hearts}
Newman: {K-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}

Newman was dominating his opponent, poised for the knockout with one card to come. When the river brought a blank {6-Hearts}, he did just that, sending Scott Eskenazi to the payout desk.

From the cutoff seat, Brent Catalano raised. Bob Lauria reraised all in from the big blind after action folded to him. Catalano made the call.

Catalano held {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} against Lauria's {A-Hearts} {J-Clubs}.

The board ran out {K-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {J-Spades} and was unhelpful to Lauria, eliminating him from the event.

Catalano is up to 820,000.

The table folded around to Blair Rodman who raised to 41,000 from the button, and Abraham Mourshaki made the call out of the big blind.

Mourshaki moves up to 705,000, and Rodman slips to 796,000.

Smith Says Goodbye

Hac Dang opened with a raise to 40,000 from the cutoff seat. On the button, Paul Smith moved all in for a total of 318,000, and Dang quickly made the call with the covering stack.

Showdown
Dang: {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}
Smith: {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}

The {A-Spades} in the door was a bad card for the at-risk player, and in the end, the board ran out {A-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {9-Spades} {9-Diamonds}. Smith couldn't find any help, and he has been eliminated.

Soulier's Check-Raise Fails

Fabrice Soulier checked as the first player to act in a heads-up pot with Fernando Gordo on a board of {K-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {3-Hearts} {J-Clubs}. Gordo then fired a bet of 100,000. Soulier raised to 270,000, but this didn't scare off Gordo as he made the call.

The river brought the {J-Spades} and Soulier checked. After some thought, Gordo sized out a bet of 150,000 and slid it into the middle. Soulier mucked his hand, dropping to 1.3 million. Gordo is up to 1.4 million.

Arrivederci, Alessandro

Alessandro Longobardi moved all in before the flop and got two callers in Eracles Panayiotou and George Saca. Both Panayiotou and Saca checked down the {A-Spades} {7-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {J-Spades} {3-Clubs} board.

Longobardi showed {Q-Hearts} {10-Clubs}, Panayiotou tabled {2-Clubs} {2-Diamonds}, but Saca had the winner with {8-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} and send Longobardi home in 176th place.
