Little Legged By Kravchenko
![[user80015]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Alexander Kravchenko opened the button with a raise to 2,600 only to have Jonathan Little bump it to 7,800 from the big blind.
With the action back on Kravchenko, he four-bet to 16,600 only to have Little move all in for 94,900 total. Kravchenko made the call to put Little at risk.
Little: 
Kravchenko: 
It was a classic race situation, but when the flop landed 
it gave Little counterfeit outs to stay alive.
That was until the dealer burned and turned the 
on the turn to see Little's fate sealed as the meaningless 
landed on the river.
With Little on the rail and Kravchenko through to the next round, another player has bitten the dust!
Cloutier Culled By Vivek
Vivek Rajkumar is the next player through to the round of thirty-two after dispatching of Eric Cloutier.
Speaking to Rajkumar about the hand that saw him progress, he told us that he raised 
from the button and Cloutier made the call before both players checked the 
flop to see a 
fall on the turn.
Cloutier led out, Rajkumar raised and Cloutier moved all in with Rajkumar making the call.
Cloutier:
Rajkumar:
Rajkumar's Broadway straight held up when the river blanked out to see Cloutier eliminated as Rajkumar a guaranteed $17,987 richer.
Arieh Calls Wrong
We just caught the tail end of this hand, joining the action as the dealer put the river card down on a board of 
{8h] 
. Maxim Lykov was first to speak, and he put out a bet of 27,300 into a pot of about 40,000. Josh Arieh called the bet, and Lykov tabled 
for the king-high flush.
Arieh promptly mucked, and he's been knocked back to 44,000.
Collopy Eliminated, Mahmood Advances
Ayaz Mahmood moved all in from the small blind with 
, putting Collopy to the decision for his remaining 19,000 chips. "Mr_BigQueso" tanked for a minute before making the call with pocket fours, flipping a coin for double or nothing.
The flop came out a very troublesome 
, and the on the turn left Collopy drawing dead to a full house. The river did not help him, and Ayaz Mahmood has knocked him off to put himself in the money.
Unsuccessful Triple Barrel Bluff For Esfandiari
Antonio Esfandiari opened to 3,000 on the button and Owen Crowe defended his big blind to see 
flop fall.
Crowe checked and Esfandiari fired out 4,600 with Crowe tossing in a pink 5,000-denomination chip to make the call.
The turn landed the and Esfandiari made it 9,400 with Crowe again check-calling.
Crowe checked the on the river only to be faced with a 23,300-chip bet by Esfandiari.
Deliberating for nearly ninety seconds, Crowe made the call tabling his 
to best Esfandiari's 
to see the match return to a closer contest; although Esfandiari holds a slight chip advantage.

Collopy Crippled
On a board of 
with around 30,000 in the middle, Ayaz Mahmood fired out 20,000 and James Collopy check-called to see the land on the turn.
Collopy again checked only to have Mahmood move all in for roughly 100,000 with Collopy making the call.
Mahmood: 
Collopy: 
With Mahmood needing an ace or queen that wasn't a club, the river would peel the to see him double through to just under 220,000 as Collopy was left crippled with only 22,000 in chips.
Griffin Grabs a Lead
We picked up the action on the turn of a board showing 
with a big pot brewing.
Ashton Griffin was first to act, and he put out a bet of 22,700. Anton Kozlovskiy made the call, and they saw the complete the board. Griffin fired again, 49,000 this time, and Kozlovskiy tanked and made the call for a significant chunk of his remaining stack.
Griffin showed up 
for the flush, and that was the winner. That pot moves Griffin up to 210,000 now, just 30,000 chips removed from advancing into the money rounds.
Rousso Makes Two
On a flop of 
, Terrence Chan check-raised Vanessa Rousso from 2,500 up to 6,500. Rousso called the extra 4,000, and the appeared on fourth street. Chan fired out 7,000 chips, and Rousso raised it right back up to 17,000. Chan called this time.
The river brought the and checks from both players. Rousso tabled , and her two pair was good enough to take the pot and open up a little lead in the match.
