Richard Dubini - 7th place
Richard Dubini - 7th place

Hand #28- Richard Dubini moved all in for 18,000, and Allan Vrooman called from the cutoff. Jared Hamby called from the small blind, and Peter Hengsakul checked his option. The flop came {2-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. Hamby fired 50,000, and while Hengaskul folded, Vrooman called. They both checked the {j-Diamonds} on the turn, and the {6-Clubs} on the river. Here were the hands.

Hamby: {10-}{2-}
Dubini: {q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Vrooman: mucked

Hamby's flopped two pair was good to take both the side and the main pot to up his stack to 775,000, and Richard Dubini was knocked out in 7th place.

Dubini Crippled, Neto Takes Lead

Hand #26: Nicolas Fierro opened to 65,000 from the hi-jack only to have Richard Dubini make it 140,000 next to speak on the button. Fierro folded and Dubini captured another pot.

Hand #27: Joao Dorneles Neto opened to 65,000 only to have Richard Dubini three-bet next to act to 152,000. The action folded back to Neto and he four-bet to 362,000.

Dubini looked up Neto's stack before making it 600,000 only to have Neto move all in with Dubini instantly calling.

Neto: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}
Dubini: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}.

With Neto needing to spike to stay alive, the {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop saw his rail of Brazilians scream in excitement as Neto took a commanding lead.

The {3-Diamonds} on the turn changed little, and when the {10-Hearts} completed the board, Neto went running to his rail to celebrate as he moved into the chip lead with 3.4 million.

Dubini on the other hand was left with only 25,000 - not even enough to match the big blind.

Hands #23-25 Fred Berger Eliminated in 8th Place ($50,382)

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Fred Berger

Hand #23- Peter Hengsakul made it 75,000 from the button, and Joao Dorneles Neto defended his big blind. The flop came {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, and both players checked. The {7-Diamonds} hit the turn, and Neto fired out 84,000. Hengsakul folded, and Neto took the hand down.

Hand #24- Action folded to Nicolas Fierro on the button, and he raised to 65,000. Richard Dubini called from the big blind, and the flop came {7-Clubs}{j-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. Dubini checked, and Fierro c-bet to 75,000. Dubini quickly folded, and Fierro took down the pot.

Hand #25- Fred Berger made it 80,000 in early position, and Dubini made it 180,000 from the small blind. Berger made the call, and they went heads up to a flop of {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. Dubini kept up the aggression with a bet of 100,000, and Berger shoved all in, a bet that Dubini quickly called.

Dubini: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Berger: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}

Berger was in rough shape, as a queen would do him no good. He was hoping for one of the two kings left in the deck, but the turn was the {6-Diamonds}, and the river the {7-Hearts}. Berger will have to settle for just over $50,000, while Dubini is now up to 1.3 million.

Hengsakul Four-Bet Shoves, Two Pair for Fierro

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Hand #19: Peter Hengsakul opened to 60,000 only to have Nicolas Fierro three-bet to 170,000 next to act.

Once the action returned to Hengsakul, he moved all in for over 2.5 million to put Fierro to a decision for his chips. That decision would be a fold, and Hengsakul captured the pot.

Hand #20: Peter Hengsakul opened to 75,000 and collected the blinds and antes.

Hand #21: Joao Dorneles Neto opened to 60,000 only to have Matt Berkey make it 135,000 from the cutoff. The action passed back to Neto and he made the call to see a {4-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop fall.

Both players checked as the {5-Clubs} landed on the turn and again both players tapped the table as the {A-Diamonds} completed the board on the river. Neto pushed out 150,000 and Berkey mucked.

Hand #22: Allan Vrooman raised to 80,000 from middle position and Nicolas Fierro made the call from the big blind to see a {10-Spades}{7-Spades}{J-Clubs} flop fall.

Both players checked as the {K-Diamonds} landed on the turn with both players checking as the {A-Hearts} completed the board on the river. Fierro cut out a bet amounting to 75,000 and Vrooman called tabling his {A-}{10-}. However it would be Fierro's {A-}{J-} that would see him win the pot.
