Kitchens is Cooking
![[user101598]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
The flop and turn had already been dealt, and the board read 
when Johnny Kitchens accidently bet 30,000 out of turn. Samuel Trickett asked the dealer for a ruling and the dealer stated that if Trickett bet then the action would be voided, but if Trickett checked then the 30,000-chip bet would stand.
Trickett decided to bet, flicking a single orange T5,000 chip into the pot. Kitchens tanked for a bit before making the call.
The river was the 
and both players checked.
"Six," Kitchens said as he opened 
.
Trickett could do nothing but laugh as he mucked his hand prompting the dealer to ship Kitchens the pot. Kitchens has the lead heads up, and the counts look like this:
Kitchens - 270,000
Trickett - 180,000
El-Sayed Survives
Sam El-Sayed and Dustin Dirksen continue their heads-up match over on Table 363, although it nearly ended just a moment ago.
Just now El-Sayed raised from the button, Dirksen pushed all in, and El-Sayed called with his remaining stack. El-Sayed showed 
, and Dirksen 
.
The flop came 
, and Dirksen was still ahead, although El-Sayed had picked up an up-and-down straight draw. The turn then brought the 
, giving El-Sayed Broadway and making the 
river no matter.
El-Sayed doubles to 158,000, still well behind Dirksen's 292,000.
Three Left at Table 373; Obrestad Ahead
They are now down to three at Annette Obrestad's table. She continues to maintain the chip advantage, although Adam Croffut has closed the gap somewhat.
Annette Obrestad -- 184,000
Adam Croffut - 152,000
Fatima Moreira de Melo -- 114,000
Giang One of Three Left at Table 362
Kevin Ho opened by shoving his last 19,000 in from the small blind, and Chau Giang called from the BB. Ho tabled 
and Giang 
.
The board came 
, and Giang ended with the better straight. Ho is out, and now Table 362 is down to three-handed:
Reagan Leman -- 175,000
Tristan Wade -- 165,000
Chau Giang -- 115,000
666 Is Hell for Foltyn
When we reached Table 361 the board was completed, and it read 
. After some betting, Paul Foltyn and Yasuhiro Waki got all the chips in the middle and Foltyn tabled for a wired pair of aces.
Waki opened 
for trip sixes though, and Foltyn was eliminated from the tournament.
Waki is now heads up with JC Tran.
Winner: Paul Varano Moves on to Day 3
Following a heads-up battle that lasted about a half-hour, Paul Varano has knocked out Christophe Lebretton to become the sixth player to make tomorrow's final.
Winner: Heinz Kamutzki Takes Down Table 376
There are no flips in the game of chess, but just ask Jeff Sarwer and he'll tell you that there are certainly flips in the game of No-Limit Hold'em.
Just after being crippled by a rivered straight, Sarwer was all in and at risk holding 
against Heinz Kamutzki's 
. There was an ace on the 
flop giving Kamutzki the lead, and after the turn and river bricked off Sarwer was eliminated.
For Kamutzki, it's on to the next one.
