Level: 20

Blinds: 4,000/8,000

Ante: 1,000

Final Level of Play

Level 20 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Originally planned as a three-day event, due to the overwhelming numbers, it has been decided that Event #4 will become a four-day event.

So instead of playing down to a final table like the original plan was, play will follow the newly implemented ten-level maximum rule with play stopping at the conclusion of this level.

Modi Busts

Level 20 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

From the cutoff, Nicholas Blumenthal entered the pot with a raise to 8,000 only to have Sachin Modi move all in for 75,000. Blumenthal made the call to put Modi at risk.

Blumenthal: {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Modi: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

The final board would be spread {7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} to see Modi's run in today's tournament end as Blumenthal moves to 280,000 in chips.

Gianetti Exits

Level 20 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

From the cutoff, Matt Giannetti moved in his last 45,000 and JC Tran made the call from the button.

Gianetti: {K-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Tran: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

With Gianetti needing to spike to stay alive, the {J-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Spades}{6-Diamonds} board would end his tournament run as Tran climbs up to 450,000 in chips.

Gonsalves Rivers Straight to Double

Level 20 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Markus Gonsalves has just found a double through Jason Potter after all the money went in preflop.

Gonsalves: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Potter: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

It would take a full sweat of five cards before Gonsalves received his fate as the {7-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts} board ensure his straight being the best hand as he doubled to 395,000 while leaving Potter on just 80,000 in chips.

From the cutoff John Dolan pushed all in for his last 113,000 and Jonathan Little made the call from the small blind.

Dolan: {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}
Little: {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}

The board would be spread {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades} to see Dolan hit the rail as Little climbs to 640,000 in chips.

Yaginuma Fades River, Todd Eliminated

JC Tran raised to 18,000 from under-the-gun and was met with a re-raise all-in for 54,000 from Don Todd in middle position. Unexpectedly, Jesse Yaginuma shoved his own stack in from the big blind for a bit less than 90,000. Tran quickly mucked his cards and the hands were revealed.

Yaginuma: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Todd: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}

Todd found little help from the {6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop, but the {9-Hearts} turn gave him a fighting chance. However, the river blanked a {5-Diamonds} and Todd was forced to the rail.

Mackey: {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}
Ahn: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {4-Spades}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{8-Spades}{10-Spades} to see Mackey bite the dust as Ahn moves up to 350,000 in chips.
