Richard Alsup Eliminated in 17th Place ($7,495)

Richard Alsup was in the big blind and all in already when Maria Ho raised from middle position, forcing folds all around. Alsup had {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and Ho {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, and after the five community cards came {10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, Ho had the better pair and Alsup was out in 17th place.

There are about 10 minutes to go before the end of the level and the last scheduled break of the night.

Gironda Takes Lead

Harrison Wilder raised from early position and Vincent Gironda three-bet from the button. Wilder called and the flop rolled out {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. Wilder check-called and then fired when the {K-Clubs} peeled off on the turn. Gironda called, and the {4-Hearts} on the river brought four to a flush. Wilder led again and Gironda called.

Showdown:

Wilder: {A-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Gironda: {6-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

Gironda's six-high flush was good for the win, and he's the new chip leader with 270,000.

Chan Flexes His Quads

A big hand just developed between Sorel Mizzi and Terrence Chan. Several bets were already in the middle by the {10-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop, then each contributed three big bets more on the {9-Hearts} turn. Chan fired again after the {9-Spades} river fell, and when Mizzi called Chan quickly tabled his {K-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for quad nines.

That big pot pushes Chan back out in front and Mizzi back down near the bottom of the counts.

Bets, Bets, and Bets for Bardah

Ronnie Bardah raised, Terrence Chan three-bet from the button, Chad Brown made it four to go from the small blind, Bardah raised again, and the other two called. The flop came {10-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}, Brown checked, Bardah bet, Chan raised, Brown reraised, then Bardah reraised as well, putting his last chips in the middle. Chan and Brown called.

Brown bet the {3-Spades} turn, and Chan called, but when Brown bet the {7-Hearts} river Chan stepped aside.

Brown showed {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for a set, but Bardah had {A-Spades}{K-Hearts} for the nut straight and survives by taking the nearly 120,000-chip main pot. Meanwhile, Brown claimed the small side pot.
