Bari Three-Bets

Level 27 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Sean LeFort entered the pot from the hi-jack with an 85,000-chip raise which was met with an Allen Bari three-bet to 220,000 from out of the small blind.

LeFort kicked his cards to the muck, and Bari picked up some of the chips he lost on the previous hand.

Bari Clips Ho

Level 27 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Allen Bari entered the pot from the hi-jack with a raise to 80,000 and found only Maria Ho defending her big blind as the {Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Spades} flop was checked through.

The turn of the {7-Diamonds} saw Bari fire a delayed continuation-bet of 90,000 with Ho making the call as the {4-Hearts} completed the board.

Ho checked, and Bari pushed out 170,000 which prompted Ho to send her cards to the muck while slipping to 900,000. Bari on the other hand now sits on 2,275,000 in chips.

Blumenthal Bested by Maria

Level 27 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Maria Ho opened to the table-standard 85,000 and Nicholas Blumenthal made the call from the big blind.

The {10-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop was checked through to see the {6-Diamonds} land on the turn with Blumenthal taking the lead by betting out 90,000.

Ho made the call, and when Blumenthal checked the {4-Hearts} on the river, she pushed out 285,000 to force a fold from Blumenthal.

Farzad Bonyadi Eliminated in 9th Place ($65,535)

Level 27 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Farzad Bonyadi - 9th Place
Farzad Bonyadi - 9th Place

From under the gun, Farzad Bonyadi pushed his last 215,000 into the pot, and after the action folded round to Jesse Chinni in the small blind, he made the call.

Bonyadi: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Chinni: {A-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

With Bonyadi in the lead, the {A-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop saw Chinni snatch the lead and leave Bonyadi - who amazingly is on his third final table in nearly as many weeks - drawing to just two outs.

The {10-Spades} on the turn would change little, and when the board paired on the river with the {10-Hearts}, Bonyadi was forced to exit the tournament in 9th place for a $65,535 payday as Chinni climbs to roughly 1,700,000 in chips.

Mikhail Lakhitov Eliminated in 8th Place ($84,033)

Level 27 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Mikhail Lakhitov - 8th Place
Mikhail Lakhitov - 8th Place

Allen Bari entered the pot with a raise to 80,000 only to have Mikhail Lakhitov three-bet to 210,000 from the big blind. With the action back on Bari, he moved all in and Lakhitov folded.

The following hand, Bari opened to 80,000 and Lakhitov again three-bet to 210,000 - but this time from the small blind. Once Sean LeFort folded the big blind, Bari moved all in for over 2,600,000 and Lakhitov immediately called for roughly his final 1,000,000 in chips.

Lakhitov: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Bari: {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

With Lakhitov in great shape to snag a double, the {10-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop gave Bari additional outs to a third ten, and that is what the dealer would deliver on the turn as the {10-Spades} spiked to send Lakhitov's chances of a bracelet run shattering down to just two outs.

Unfortunately for the Russian, the {J-Spades} would land on the river to send him to the rail in 8th place for a $84,033 payday as Bari soars to the outright chip lead with 4,020,000 in chips.

"Yeah, that's right ... I'm Allen "F**KING" Bari!"
"Yeah, that's right ... I'm Allen "F**KING" Bari!"

Nicholas Blumenthal opened his cutoff to 105,000 only to have Allen Bari three-bet to 260,000 from the small blind.

Blumenthal kicked his cards to the muck and Bari continued his rush. Allen "F**KING" Bari is running this town!

Ace-High Bests King-High

Jesse Chinni bumped up his small blind to 130,000 and Thomas Ross made the call from the big to see a {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop fall.

Chinni continued for 140,000 with Ross making the call before the {8-Diamonds} and {9-Hearts} was checked through on the turn and river.

"King-high!" announced Chinni, but it would be Ross' {A-Hearts}{7-Clubs} that would see him collect the pot.
