Lisandro Out, 29 Remain

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

For a while at Table 433 it appeared as though Ayman Qutami would be the next to leave us, his stack having become depleted down under 10,000.

But five-time WSOP bracelet winner Jeff Lisandro's stack had gotten low as well, and soon enough he was up out of his chair, watching as his {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} was failed to improve against Hans Minocha's {A-Hearts}{3-Spades} when the board came {7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}. Having made the pay jump, Lisandro earned $4,912 for his 30th-place finish.

Qutami's Quest Continues (For Now)

The tourney's short stack Ayman Qutami has been all in a couple of times early on, surviving both. In the latter instance, he was all in by the turn against Steven Werdehoff with the board showing {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. Werdehoff had {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for sixes, a gutshot, and a diamond draw while Qutami had turned a straight with {J-Hearts}{8-Spades}. The river was the {A-Spades}, and Qutami survived.

Van den Bijgaart Bests Qutami

With the flop reading {K-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, Joep van den Bijgaart and Ayman Qutami capped the action, leaving Qutami with less than one big bet left behind. He got the rest of it in on the {Q-Clubs} turn, and he was trailing heading to the river:

Qutami: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
van den Bijgaart: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

Qutami needed a nine, but the {6-Diamonds} river provided no help and he hit the rail in 29th place.

Werdehoff Out, 27 Left

Down to 16,200, Steven Werdehoff raised from the cutoff and got a single caller in Hans Minocha in the big blind. The flop came {7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and Minocha checked. Werdehoff bet, then Minocha tossed out few too many orange chips — it appeared he intended to call, but had raised — and Werdehoff called.

The turn brought the {9-Spades} and Minocha went ahead and bet. Werdehoff raised with what he had left, and Minocha called. Werdehoff had {J-Spades}{10-Clubs} and needed help versus Minocha's {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. But the river brought the {3-Diamonds}, sending Werdehoff to the cashier's desk with a 28th-place ticket.

Bardah Makes Quads, Cripples Clark

With the board reading {6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades}, Zach Clark and Ronnie Bardah had a raising war until the action was capped at five bets. Clark put in the final raise, and Bardah snapped it off.

"I wish I could re-raise," said Bardah. "I have quads."

Sure enough, Bardah tabled his {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and began raking in a giant pile of chips. Clark was left with just 15,000 and is suddenly on life support.
