Another Heads-Up

A short-stacked Jim Geary had the last of his chips in holding {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs} against the {10-Spades}{2-Clubs} of Michael Reed. The board ran out {4-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Geary was sent to the rail. With that, Matthew Schreiber and Michael Reed take to heads-up play.

Suddenly at Three

Table 402, which we refereed to as the "stubborn" table just a short while ago, has suddenly lost two players and is down to three-handed play. We didn't catch how Xavier Kyablue busted, but we did see Fabio Khouri's last hand. It was against Tom Koral and Khouri had his last remaining chips in the middle preflop. Khouri held {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} against Koral's {a-Hearts}{7-Spades} and when the board ran out {6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{a-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, it was all over for Khouri.

At the moment it is Christopher Vitch who holds a big chip lead over his two opponents.

Seiver Hits the Rail; It's the Sean Rice Show

Scott Seiver was the latest player to hit the rail. This leaves Sean Rice and Harry Bolger as the two remaining players at the table. Rice has been crushing today and is currently in a dominating chip position against Bolger.

Liu Gone; Bonomo and Ramdin Heads Up

A short-stacked JJ Liu raised from the button and Victor Ramdin called. Justin Bonomo three-bet from the big blind and Liu called all in. Ramdin called as well.

The flop brought the {9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{K-Hearts}. Ramdin checked and Bonomo continued out. Ramdin called and the {6-Spades} turned. Ramdin check-folded to a bet from Bonomo and the hands were turned up:

Bonomo: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Liu: {A-Clubs}{2-Spades}

The river bricked out for Liu, bringing the {4-Spades} and she was the third bust out from her table. Bonomo and Ramdin are now heads up and the winner will progress on to the final table.

Stubborn Table Update

Table 402 is currently the only table yet to lose a player. With multiple tables down to heads-up play, we expect the busts to start happening on 402 very soon. Here is how the chip stacks look over there.

Three Stars Remain

With Brian Aleksa's elimination, either JJ Liu, Victor Ramdin or Justin Bonomo will be heading to the final table. At the moment it is Ramdin who is in with the best chance, but he will have to get through Bonomo first. Liu is in need of some big help as her stack is sitting on just over one big bet.

Mike and Brock

When we came to Table 410, there was a flop showing {q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Mike Thorpe was involved in a hand with Brock Parker. Thorpe proceed to fire bets and receive a call from Parker on all streets as the dealer dealt out the turn ({6-Clubs}) and the river ({7-Spades}). Thorpe tabled his {q-Hearts}{q-Spades} and Parker said, "Oh, i didn't have any outs," as he mucked his cards.

Despite the fact that Thorpe managed to take down this pot, he is still the short stack at his table.
