Roman Yitzhaki Eliminated in 15th Place ($26,459)

Roman Yitzhaki - 15th place
Roman Yitzhaki - 15th place

Omaha-8

Matt Glantz raised it up from the button before Roman Yitzhaki three-bet it from the big blind. Glantz made the call and they saw a flop of {Q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}. This is when things got a little crazy. A raising war broke out that saw the last of Yitzhaki's chips enter the pot.

Glantz: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Yitzhaki: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts}

Top pair and nut low draw for Yitzhaki as Glantz held the overpair. The turn was the {J-Diamonds} and river the {K-Clubs}, completely missing Yitzhaki and sending him to the rail in 15th place for a collect of $26,459.

Johnson Extends Lead

Marco Johnson

Razz

Marco Johnson completed and then led the betting on fourth and fifth before Eugene Katchalov led out on sixth. Johnson responded with a raise before firing once again on the river. Katchalov couldn't stand the heat and tossed his cards into the muck.

Johnson: (X-X) / {4-}{7-}{5-}{10-} / (X)
Katchalov: (X-X) / {2-}{9-}{7-}{4-} / (X)

Katchalov slips to 880,000 with Johnson up to 1.2 million.

Traniello Back In Business

Stud

The short stacks continue to fight hard with Marco Traniello finding another double up in Stud against Cuong Do. Traniello's last chips were in the middle on fifth street as the boards fell:

Do: ({9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}) / {K-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{A-Clubs} / (X)
Traniello: ({Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}) / {9-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Spades}{10-Clubs} / (X)

We didn't catch their river cards as Do couldn't improve on his pair of nines to give Traniello the double up. He's up to 230,000 with Do down to 210,000.

Michael Chow Eliminated in 13th Place ($31,851)

Michael Chow - 13th place
Michael Chow - 13th place

Stud

Michael Chow completed before Marco Johnson raised it up. Chow made the call. On fourth, Chow led out with a bet, before the action was bet, raise, re-raise all in on fifth street.

Chow: ({A-Spades}{7-Clubs}) / {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{Q-Spades} / ({2-Diamonds})
Johnson: ({J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}) / {2-Hearts}{J-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} / ({7-Diamonds})

Johnson made trips and Chow couldn't improve his aces as he departed in 13th place for a payday of $31,851.

Cuong Do Eliminated in 12th Place ($39,078)

Cuong Do - 12th place

Stud-8

Cuong Do was all in for his last 11,000 on third street, before Brian Townsend announced a raise. Matt Glantz was showing the {9-Clubs} as he sighed, "I can see he wants me out," before folding.

The boards ran out as follows:

Do: ({K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}) / {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} / (X)
Townsend: ({6-Hearts}{5-Spades}) / {7-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{9-Spades} / ({8-Spades})

Townsend made a straight and with no low for either player, Townsend scooped the pot to eliminate Do from the tournament in 12th place.

Steve Billirakis Eliminated in 11th Place ($39,078)

Steve Billirakis - 11th place
Steve Billirakis - 11th place

Stud-8

Well, whatever these guys took at the break has done the trick, as we've lost another player to now be on the verge of our unofficial final table.

The latest to go was Steve Billirakis who had his last chips in on sixth street against Ian Gordon.

Gordon: ({A-Clubs}{7-Spades}) / {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{A-Diamonds} / ({K-Clubs})
Billirakis: ({5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}) / {8-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{8-Hearts} / ({9-Diamonds})

Both players tabled full houses as Gordon's sevens full of aces took it down against Billirakis' fives full of eights. A bit of a cooler sees Billirakis departs in 11th place for $39,078.
