Ashkan Razavi raised to 48,000 only to find Dien Le three-bet to 107,000. Razavi called and the two saw a flop of . Razavi checked to Le who fired out 176,000. Razavi announced all in and Dien snap called with .
The turn and river did not help Razavi and Le was able to score a double up.
With the board reading , Amanda Musumeci pushed out 164,000 and Giorgio Medici casually threw out a call. The river brought the and Musumeci carefully counted out 327,000 and moved the stack into the middle.
Medici once again looked quite casual as he quickly counted out his chips and and threw in a call. Musumeci tabled for a flopped two pair.
Medici flashed the to Musumeci and she slyly replied merely with an "I know". Musumeci is now the second biggest stack in the room.
Amanda Musumeci opened to 52,000 in late position, Giorgio Medici three-bet jammed for 430,000 behind her, and Brian Rast cold-called from the blinds. Musumeci unhappily mucked, and the hands were opened.
A short while ago we told everyone how Giorgio Medici shoved for three times the pot on the flop. Well, he has just done the same thing and taken a whole bunch of Brian Rast's chips.
The hand began with Medici opening the pot to 55,000 from the hi-jcak seat. Rast made the call on his direct left and the blinds got out of the way.
Flop:
As soon as the dealer had finished spreading the three cards on the flop, Medici announced "all in." Rast almost immediately called and the two players turned their hands over.
Medici:
Rast:
It was top pair for Medici and a flush draw for Rast. The turn and river bricked out and Rast would send around 650,000 of his chips to Medici.
Ryan Olisar opened to 60,000 only to have short stacked Andrew Rennhack moved all in for about 240,000. Giorgio Medici peered down at his cards and announced that he was all in over the top for about 1,200,000. All eyes were on Olisar and he stunned the table by announcing a call.
Olisar:
Medici:
Rennhack:
Olisar found a monster draw on the flop of and got there with the turn. The completed the board and Olisr was able to skyrocket above the field and send us two more eliminations closer to the final table.
Stephen Reynolds was recently left with a pittance of his stack when he rumbled with Dien Le in a fairly big pot. He then managed to gain a few back, but has just been eliminated from this tournament as we are now down to our "unofficial" final table of ten.
The last hand of Reynold's night was a three-way all-in preflop. Benjamin Reinhart was the player who had Reynolds and Derrick Huang at risk.
Reynolds:
Reinhart:
Huang:
Huang had the worst hand and the smallest stack at this stage, but he was still alive. Reynolds however was struggling and would need plenty of help to survive in this tournament.
The board was a great one for Huang as the short stack doubled through, but it wasn't the same story for Reynolds as he exited the tournament in 11th place. And with that, just 10 players remain. We will have the seating draw for the unofficial final table up shortly.
