Showdown
Greenwood:
McFarland:
Greenwood was hoping for a queen to give him a little piece of mind, but the flop was queen-free. At least it was jack-free as well. Then the turn brought the , and suddenly, Greenwood was hoping for anything at all but a queen. Of course, that's when the decided to show up. "F@*k!" shouted one of Greenwood's friends on the rail, as the queen made Broadway for McFarland. Greenwood was eliminated in 12th place, making him the first casualty of the day. McFarland is up to 1.2 million.
Action folded to Jeffrey Papola on the button, and he raised to 36,000. Out of the big blind, Darren Elias reraised to 105,000, and Papola promptly moved all in. Elias called with , but his big slick was in rough shape against Papola's . The board came , and Papola doubled to 690,000. Elias had been moving up the counts early, but he's back down to 710,000.
Anthony Roux raised to 38,000 from the cutoff, and Mark Radoja shipped it in from the big blind. Roux was more than happy to call with , out in front of Radoja's . But the flop quickly made him less happy. The turn and river couldn't save him, and Roux was sent packing in 11th place. Radoja rode the suckout all the way to 2 million in chips, reminding his table that he was the executioner last night and isn't going to take today off.
Although Roux hit the rail, the French still have a chance to claim another bracelet today. Bruno Launais is alive and well in the field.
Taylor McFarland opened with a raise, and Erick Lindgren defended his big blind to see a flop. Lindgren bet 49,000, and McFarland flatted. The turn brought the , and Lindgren fired 120,000. McFarland called again The put a third club on the board. Lindgren stuck in one last bet, this time 230,000, and McFarland called a third street. Lindgren tabled for flopped bottom set. McFarland mucked, and Lindgren moved up to 1.8 million. McFarland lost his spot in the counts, dropping to 1.1 million.
Bruno Launais checked a flop to Men Nguyen, who bet 60,000. Launais called, and checked again after the paired the board on the turn. Nguyen bet another 110,000, and Launais called once again. The river was the , and both players checked. Launais showed for tens and eights, and that was enough for the win. He's up to 910,000 while Nguyen is back to the danger zone with 275,000.
Erick Lindgren raised to 40,000, and Paul Sheng called from the big blind. The flop brought the , the and the , and Sheng checked. When Lindgren bet 60,000, Sheng check-raised him to 160,000. E-dog wasn't about to let him get away with that move. He three-bet to 390,000, and Sheng gave up.
Darren Elias raised to 44,000 from the cutoff, and on the button, Orlando Delacruz moved all in for a total of 218,000. Elias called him with , and Delacruz would need to hit with to survive. And hit he did - twice- on the flop. The on the turn gave Elias a few outs, but with the on the river, Delacruz safely doubled to 470,000. Elias slipped even further to 660,000.
Taylor McFarland raised to 48,000 on the button, and Bruno Launais defended his big blind. The flop came and both players checked the three hearts. After the on the river, Launais bet 48,000. McFarland raised him to 206,000, and it only took Launais a minute to give up his hand. Bruno dropped slightly to 900,000, and McFarland added the pot to his 1,160,000-chip stack.
Paul Sheng opened to 50,000, and Bruno Launais reraised to 127,000 out of the small blind. Men Nguyen was in the big blind, and he took a lengthy trip to the bottom of the tank before folding. He was probably glad about that when Sheng four-bet shoved behind him for 580,000. Launais didn't need as much time to muck, and Sheng moved up to 850,000.
