Small One For Olisar

Ryan Olisar

Amanda Musumeci popped it up to 110,000 and Ryan Olisar called from the big blind. Olisar checked on the {8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} board and Musumeci continued for 140,000. Olisar called and the {10-Hearts} turned, prompting checks from both players.

The board finished with a {7-Clubs} and both players checked once again. Olisar tabled {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and Musumeci mucked her hand.

Duy Doubles Big

Duy Ho's position in this tournament has just changed dramatically thanks to the chips of Ryan Olisar. Folded to Olisar in the small blind, he raised it up to 130,000. Ho was directly on his left in the big blind and shoved all-in.

Olisar thought hard as it was 1,470,000 to call. Eventually he decided to go with the call and two players tabled their hands.

Ho: {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Olisar: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

The {9-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} flop prompted Ho's rail to shout and cheer at the sight of the nine, while the {q-Clubs} turn would see them shout out for another paint card.

The {7-Clubs} on the river was what they were looking for as Ho took the huge double up. Olisar is now struggling as one of the shortest stacks at the table.

Brian Rast Eliminated in 6th Place ($137,632)

Brian Rast - 6th place
Brian Rast - 6th place

It was the last hand before the first 20-minute break of the day that would see Brian Rast eliminated in a gallant 6th place.

The hand in question saw cards fly into the muck from all directions before it was on Ashkan Razavi on the button. Razavi would raise it up to 100,000 and it was on Rast in the small blind. He shoved for his short stack and Razavi immediately made the call.

Razavi: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Rast: {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}

The crowd went wild, especially Razavi's rail as they cried out for a king. The {q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop didn't house a king, but it was a good one for Razavi. The {3-Clubs} turn wasn't what Rast was looking for and the {7-Hearts} on the river would be the final bullet in Rast's tournament life.

With that hand, the remaining five players have been sent on a 20-minute break. We will have full chip counts for you shortly. The chip lead is going to be close between Razavi and Musumeci.

Huang The Leader

Derrick Huang
Derrick Huang

We have a new chip leader and his name is Derrick Huang. Where did he get his chips you ask? From Amanda Musumeci.

The hand in question started when Musumeci opened it to 130,000 from the cutoff. Derrick Huang called in the small blind and a {5-Spades}{2-Hearts}{a-Spades} flop was dealt.

Huang would check to Musumeci who bet 155,000. Huang called and the dealer turned over a {7-Diamonds} on the turn. Huang would again check and Musumeci again fire, this time 215,000. Another call and the final card would be dealt on the river.

The {a-Clubs} would see Huang check and instead of going with a third bullet, Musumeci would go with a check. Huang said he had queen high and was getting ready to fold his hand, but that would all change when Musumeci turned over {j-Spades}{6-Spades} for just jack-high. Huang's {q-Spades}{10-Spades} hit the felt and he took down the pot to become the new chip leader.

Musumeci Wins It Right Back

Back On Top
Back On Top

After losing her lead to Derrick Huang, Amanda Musumeci played two consecutive hands which led to her regaining the chip lead.

Duy Ho completed from the small blind and Musumeci checked her option. The dealer laid out a flop of {5-Hearts}{J-Spades}{9-Spades} and Ho tossed in 100,000. Musumeci called and both players checked a turn of {10-Diamonds}. The river was the {3-Clubs} and Ho announced a bet of 250,000 that Musumeci called before Ho was even done pushing out his chips.

"Queen-high," said Ho.

Musumeci showed {9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} for two pair and was able to drag in the pot.

The next hand, Derrick Huang popped it up to 130,000 and it folded around to Musumeci in the small blind who pushed out a three-bet to 305,000. Action folded back to Huang who called.

The flop brought {Q-Hearts}{A-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Musumeci continued out with a bet of 330,000. Huang thought for over a minute before tossing his hand into the muck.

Ho Wins Big Pot

Duy Ho opened up the action to 150,000 and was called by Derrick Huang in the big blind. The dealer spread out a {5-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop and Huang checked. Ho bet 210,000 and a call would see a {9-Clubs} hit the turn. This time Huang would lead out for 575,000 and Ho quickly called.

The {j-Hearts} completed the board on the river and both players checked. Ho gave a fist pump when Huang turned over {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, not good enough for his {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}.

Olisar Drills the Seven

Ryan Olisar
Ryan Olisar

Derrick Huang opened the betting with a raise to 130,000 and Ryan Olisar responded by moving all in for roughly 1,235,000. Action folded back to Huang who announced a call.

Huang: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Olisar: {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

Olisar was drawing quite thin when he saw a flop of {5-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{6-Spades}. Olisar was able to pick up a couple more outs when the {4-Diamonds} fell on fourth street. Olisar was in need of an ace or a seven to make the straight in order to score a double up.

The dealer rapped the table and flipped over the river:

The {7-Clubs}.

Olisar clapped his hands together with excited fervor and sprinted to give his rail section numerous high fives. Huang, on the other hand, looked less than pleased as he watched his chips be pushed to the opponent on his left.
