After Ylon Schwartz raised, Colby Pitt made it three bets and the two saw fourth street heads up. On fourth, both players slowed down and checked. On fifth, Schwartz tried to re-establish the action as the aggressor with a bet, but Pitt raised. Schwartz thought for a minute or two because Pitt had just 8,500 behind, and calling here would likely mean calling another full-bet later in the hand.
Schwartz eventually made the call, and the two got it in with one card left. Schwartz started the hand with for just a pair of tens against the of Pitt, which was good for a pair of kings and a flush draw. Pitt got the sweat over with quickly when he flipped the over for a flush, rendering Schwartz's meaningless.

When we reached the table, fifth street had already been dealt and Eslami bet into Buchman. Buchman called. On sixth, the two got three bets in, and Eslami was all in.
Eslami:
Buchman:
Eslami needed help on seventh street to survive, and received it when he was dealt the for trip queens. Buchman failed to fill up, and Eslami doubled to 88,000 chips.
The action started with Lazarou completing with the , and Bloch raising with the . Lazarou called. Bloch bet out on fourth street, Lazarou called, and Bloch bet out again on fifth. This time Lazarou raised, Bloch got the rest of his chips in, and Lazarou called.
Bloch:
Lazarou:
Bloch was ahead, and remained ahead when Lazarou bricked on sixth () and seventh (). Bloch improved to two-pair on the sixth for kicks and giggles, and doubled to 63,000 chips.
Unlike Table 286, Table 280 is full of talkers. Arash Ghaneian has been the loudest of the bunch, asking Andy Bloch a plethora of questions about Full Tilt and requesting that Vasili Lazarou button a few buttons on his shirt.
Eric Buchman isn't so amused however, because Lazarou has also been taking a long time to make decisions on each street. He recently called the clock on Lazarou, and we wouldn't be surprised if he did it again in the near future.

Eslami completed with the showing, Bloch raised with the showing, and Eslami made the call. Bloch bet into Eslami on fourth and Eslami called, but on fifth, Eslami paired and it was his turn to bet into Bloch. He called.
Both players checked on sixth and seventh, and Eslami rolled over for two pair; tens and nines. Bloch mucked, slipping to 72,000 chips, and Eslami increased his stack to 85,000.
The action was capped on fifth street, and Bloch called bets on sixth and seventh (all in). Bloch started with and did not improve his pair of eights, which could not beat Buchman's for two pair; fives and threes.
Following a completion, Jeremy Ausmus raised, only to have Katchalov reraise. Ausmus was the only caller, and both players checked on fourth street. Ausmus then check raised on fifth street, but Katchalov was not deterred as he repopped it. Ausmus called, and then check called the rest of the way. Katchalov turned over for jacks up, which was good enough to take the monster pot and propel him to 150,000.
Lazarou led out every street except seventh, where he check-called a bet from Ghaneian. Ghaneian tabled for trip kings, Lazarou mucked, and Ghaneian is now up to 155,000 chips.
When we came to the table, Colby Pitt was all in against Eugene Katchalov. It was not a pretty site for Pitt, as Katchalov had already made a full house, aces full of queens, by sixth street, leaving Pitt drawing dead. Pitt was eliminated, and Katchalov is now up to 185,000, good enough for a top five stack.
