Eslami Folds Out Lawson

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

From the button, Ted Lawson opened to 20,000 and Ali Eslami defended his blinds to see a {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop fall.

Eslami check-called 20,000 before both players checked the {9-Diamonds} on the turn before the {4-Hearts} completed the board.

Eslami led for 25,000 and Lawson kicked his cards to the muck.

Action Slowing

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

With only 23 more minutes remaining in the level, and just three eliminations needed until we reach the final table, it seems that event #15 has hit the standstill point.

A blind steal here and a blind steal there is about all we're seeing as players look to consolidate their position in an effort to limp to the final table.

Ariel Celestino Eliminated in 14th Place ($10,864)

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Ariel Celestino - 14th Place
Ariel Celestino - 14th Place

Allen Kessler opened to 25,000 only to have Ariel Celestino three-bet to 60,000 from the button.

Kessler pushed it up to 135,000 and Celestino moved all in for roughly 240,000 with Kessler making the call.

Kessler: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Celestino: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}

The {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop gave Celestino eight extra outs to a flush, but whent he {3-Diamonds} and {Q-Spades} landed on the turn and river, he would be forced to exit in 14th as Kessler soars to 525,000 in chips.
