Caramtti Finds Runner-Runner Flush

Bernard Ko opened to 60,000 from under the gun and found Niccolo Caramatti defending his big blind.

The flop fell down {5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and Caramatti moved all in with Ko quick to make the call.

Caramatti: {J-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Ko: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

With Caramatti's stop-n-go not quite working, he found a {J-Clubs} on the turn to give him maximum outs to trips or two-pair as well as any club.

Fortunately for the Italian he managed to spike the {2-Clubs} on the river to stay alive and double through to 490,000 as Ko slips to 150,000 in chips.

Trips for Rosskamm

Andrew Rosskamm opened to 55,000 from the hi-jack and James Schaaf made the call from the big blind to see a {5-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} flop fall.

Both players checked to see the {A-Clubs} land on the turn and Schaaf check-call a 55,000-chip bet from Rosskamm.

The river landed another ace with the {A-Hearts}, and after a Schaaf check, Rosskamm fired out 130,000.

Schaaf paused for a few moments before making the call only to muck at the sight of Rosskamm's {A-Spades}{10-Spades}.

With that pot, Rosskamm climbs to 1,140,000 as Schaaf slips to 770,000 in chips.

William Prieto Eliminated in 17th Place ($21,577)

William Prieto - 17th place
William Prieto - 17th place

Niccolo Caramatti opened to 53,000 from the cutoff only to have William Prieto move all in for 233,000 from the button.

After nearly three minutes in the tank, Caramatti made the call to put Prieto at risk.

Prieto: {A-Diamonds}{6-Spades}
Caramatti: {A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

The flop of {3-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{J-Spades} gave Prieto outs to a chop, but after the {4-Diamonds} and {9-Hearts} fell on the turn and river, Prieto exited in 17th place for a $21,577 payday.

Penalty for Brenes

Humberto Brenes opened to 57,000 from the cutoff and Michael Swick went deep into the tank on the button.

After several minutes, Swick eventually laid his hand down as Brenes leant over and whispered, "I would have called you!"

Craig Bergeron then became furious with the fact - in his words - that Brenes was trying to angle the blinds to force them to fold.

The Tournament Director was called over to control the situation, and consequently Brenes was issued a one-hand penalty as the hand played out.

Bergeron folded his small blind, but Andrew Rosskamm raised the action to 675,000 from the big blind to prompt a fold from Brenes.

Drama Drama Drama

While the tournament director was dealing with a situation over at table 308, table 309 lost a player. Daniel Buzgon called for the floor, but the dealer continued to deal the hand. The table was down to seven players and they all agreed to wait for the floor to bring another player to the table. Mind you, the cards had already been dealt.

Niccolo Caramatti proceeded to get up from the table and walk over to his friends on the rail. After the TD came over to handle the eliminated player, the hand resumed. Caramatti raised and it was folded around to Jose Obadia who called the floor himself.

The TD came back over and Obadia explained the situation, the dealer also explained the situation and Buzgon threw in an explanation as well. After it was all sorted out, Caramatti was forced to fold his hand because it was explained that he could not abandon his hand. He was visibly angry and started shouting to Obadia and calling him names. The TD gave him a one hand penalty. Things have finally started to settle down here in the orange section of the Amazon Room - we hope.
