Perrins Spikes River to Eliminate Zografov

Level 22 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

We arrived at the table, just as Matt Perrins and Petar Zografov committed all their chips in pre-flop.

Perrins: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Zografov: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

Zografov was in great shape to double up, as the flop and turn fell {9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Clubs} | {q-Hearts}, however, the {a-Clubs} spiked on the river, giving Perrins the better pair, and sending Zografov to the rail.

Buddiga: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

Vo Vanishes

Level 22 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Viet Vo
Viet Vo

After a raise of 25,000 from Jeff Papola, Viet Vo moved all in over the top for about 140,000 from the small blind. Pratyush Buddiga folded his big blind, but Papola instantly called.

Vo: {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}
Papola: {J-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The flop came down {K-Clubs}{2-Spades}{J-Spades} giving Papola a set and putting him way ahead in the hand. The {5-Diamonds} on the turn was no help to Vo and it left him drawing dead. The dealer put down the meaningless {8-Clubs} on the river and that was all she wrote for Viet Vo who was eliminated from the field as the tenth player to go on Day 3.

Grant Levy

Matt Berkey opened to 30,000 from under the gun, before the decision folded around to Grant Levy on the big blind. He thought for a moment, before raising it up to 85,000. Berkey contemplated his next move, before opting to call, as they both saw the flop come down {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{4-Spades}.

Levy checked his option, before Berkey bet out 100,000 in chips. Levy paused for a moment, before announcing all in, which was snap called.

Levy: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Berkey: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Berkey had flopped top-pair, and was able to hold on to his lead, as the {6-Hearts} and {2-Hearts} completed the board, eliminating Levy from the tournament.
