Bruce Vandervort's Day is Done

Kam Low
Kam Low
Kam Low made it 57,000 to go from the cutoff and Bruce Vandervort made his stand from the small blind, pushing all in for 170,000. Low made the call and we were off to the races, as he showed {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} versus Vandervort's {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}.

The door card was a dagger for Vandervort as the flop came {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}, and he failed to hit either of his two outs on the next streets, as the board ran out {6-Spades}{J-Hearts}.

The win puts Low's stack at more than 1.3 million.

Jeremy Joseph Busts at the Break

Jeremy Joseph
Jeremy Joseph
We caught this hand on the flop when Jeremy Joseph check-raised all-in for nearly 400,000 and got called by Mark Salinaro.

Joseph showed {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for an over-pair on a flop of {4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{8-Hearts} while Salinaro held {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} and made a pair when the {Q-Hearts} came on the turn. The {7-Clubs} on the river ended the hand and Salinaro now has 1,580,000 chips.

Fett's Set Brings End For Dominski

Paul Dominski has been eliminated in 21st place after Robert Fett opened the action with a raise to 42,000 from under the gun. Jim McClain called in the small blind before Dominski moved all in for 385,000. Fett made the call as McClain got out of the way.

Fett: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Dominski: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

The board landed {4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Fett spikes a set to eliminate Dominski and move up to 930,000 chips.

Michael Pesek Gets a Double Up

Kam Low limped under-the-gun and then called Michael Pesek's 185,000 chip preflop shove with {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}.

Pesek showed {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} and took a commanding lead with a flop of {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. The {9-Clubs} and {6-Hearts} on the turn and river didn't help Low's hand, and Pesek climbed to 370,000.

Jason Riesenberg Eliminated

Jason Riesenberg pushed his 104,000 chip stack into the middle preflop and got called by Jim McClain.

Riesenberg showed {K-Hearts}{6-Spades} vs. McClain's {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, and took an early lead on a flop of {3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts}. It didn't last long though, as McClain caught the {9-Diamonds} on the turn and sealed the hand with the {7-Hearts} on the river.

That hand put McClain's stack at more than 1 million.

James Bott is Knocked Out

James Bott
James Bott
Action folded to Robert Fett who shoved all in for 910000 from the small blind, prompting an instant call from the short stacked James Bott in the big blind.

Bott showed {A-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} against Fett's {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, but fell way behind when Fett flopped Broadway with {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}. The {8-Hearts} on the turn and {9-Clubs} on the river ended the hand and Bott's day.

Fett now has 1.1 million chips.

Ciotola Doubles Through Johnson

Mike Ciotola
Mike Ciotola
Action folded to Travis Johnson who shoved all in from the small blind against Mike Ciotola in the big blind.

Ciotola quickly called showing {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} versus Johnson's {K-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. A flop of {4-Spades}{A-Spades}{J-Hearts} left Johnson needing running hearts, which he didn't catch when the board ran out {7-Clubs}{5-Spades}.

Ciotola doubled up to 350,000.
