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.

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.

Level: 20

Blinds: 4,000/8,000

Ante: 1,000

Lemke Beats Rosen

After Jamie Rosen raised to 13,500 from the hijack seat, Brian Lemke reraised to 28,500 from the cutoff seat. Action folded back to Rosen and he made the call.

The flop came down {7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Rosen checked. Lemke bet 35,000 and Rosen called.

The turn brought the {9-Clubs} and Rosen checked again. After Lemke bet 54,000, Rosen thought for a bit and then gave it up.

Charette Chips Up Against Dardon

Osmin Dardon open-raised to 14,000 from early position and Simon Charette re-raised to 33,000 from the cutoff. Dardon deliberately counted out a call and slid it into the middle.

The flop came {2-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Spades} and Dardon checked. Charette kept the pressure on and fired a 36,000 bet. Dardon fell deep into the tank and remained stoic for almost five minutes. He then put both hands behind his entire stack and looked as if he was about to push his stack in while glaring at Charette, but pulled his hands away after Charette failed to react. Dardon folded after thinking for a few more minutes, conceding the pot to Charette.
