Hand #47: Kirby Martin raised to 57,000 from middle position. Ariel Celestino called from the button, and the blinds both folded.

Celestino once again called to see a {9-Diamonds} hit the river. Martin fired a third bullet, 150,000. After tanking for a couple of minutes, Celestino called. Martin showed him {a-Spades}{8-Spades}, and Celestino mucked.

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Hand #56: Bryce Landier raised to 65,000, and nobody called.

Hand #57: Denis Gnidash called from the button, and Rory Mathews made it 70,000 from the small blind. Gnidash made the call after Kirby Martin folded the big blind. The flop came {3-Clubs}{3-Spades}{6-Hearts}, and Mathews' 70,000 bet took down the pot.

Hand #58: Norbert Szecsi opened for 50,000, and Mathews bumped it to 150,000. Szecsi gave up the pot.

Hand #59: Chris DeMaci moved all in from the small blind for his last 357,000, and Landier called.

DeMaci: {a-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}
Landier: {a-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

The {4-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop helped Landier. The {4-Clubs} opened up some chopping outs for DeMaci though, and the {9-Spades} gave DeMaci the chop.

Hand #60: Martin raised to 55,000 in the cutoff, and Szecsi made the call. He checked on the {4-Hearts}{10-Spades}{q-Clubs} flop, and Martin checked behind him. Two more checks followed the {q-Hearts}, and the river came {8-Spades}. Szecsi bet 70,000 on the end, and Martin folded.

Hand #62: From the button Norbert Szecsi made it 48,000 only to have Denis Gnidash move all in for 419,000 from the small blind. Szecsi called and the cards were tabled.

Gnidash: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Szecsi: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}

With Gnidash in the lead, the {5-Spades}{10-Clubs}{K-Spades} flop gave Gnidash a commanding lead as the {8-Diamonds} on the turn left Szecsi needing to spike only a queen. The river landed the {4-Spades} and Gnidash doubled though to 880,000 as Szecsi slipped to 264,000.

Hand #63: Norbert Szecsi moved all in for 260,000 from the cutoff and collected the blinds and antes.

Hand #64: Rory Mathews opened to 50,000 from the button and won the blinds and antes.

Hand #65: Denis Gnidash opened to 48,000 and Bryce Landier made the call from the big blind to see a {4-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} flop fall. Landier checked and Gnidash bet 67,000 with Landier calling as the {9-Diamonds} rolled off on the turn.

Landier once again tapped the table before Gnidash bet out 145,000 and Landier called. The river landed the {5-Hearts} and Landier checked for a third time before Gnidash pushed out 255,000. Landier mucked and Gnidash collected the pot.

Chris DeMaci expected to be out on Day 1.

Chris DeMaci, currently sitting in last place of the six remaining players, has certainly come much further in this tournament than he expected. He tried busting out of the tournament on this amusing hand from Day 1, but fate kept him in the tournament. He's certainly capitalized on the opportunity.
