We picked up the action on a flop when Viet Vo checked from the big blind and Gordon Vayo bet 20,000 from the under-the-gun position. Vo woke up with an all-in check-raise to 83,500, and Vayo made the call.
Vo:
Vayo:
Vo put it in with second pair, but it was no good as Vayo had flopped top pair. The turn left Vo drawing dead, and just to rub salt in the wound the dealer put out the on the river to give Vayo quads.
Hunter Frey moved all in under the gun for his last 49,500 and ended up getting a call from Matt Marafioto on the button. The blinds folded and the cards were turned up.
Frey:
Marafioti:
Frey had some kicker issues, but the flop gave him some gutshot straight draw hope. The turn was dry as could be, and that mean Frey needed either a three or four on the river to stay alive. The dealer burned one last time and put out the . Frey missed and was eliminated from the tournament.
Just before the break, David Chase moved all in for 95,500 from the small blind and Jake Toole called from the big.
Chase:
Toole:
Chase liked his ace enough to go with it, but he was a bit unlucky Toole woke up with a pocket pair. The eights ended up holding too after the board ran out . Chase takes home $12,714 for his 25th-place finish.
Heinz Kamutzki got his stack of 180,000 all in from the button holding the and was up against Ty Reiman, who held the in the big blind. The flop gave Kamutzki a big lead, and he held it on the turn and river. Reiman was left with just 47,000 after the hand.
In the next hand, Reiman got it in from the small blind and Olivier Busquet called him from the big.
Reiman:
Busquet:
Reiman managed to pick up a strong hand, and he successfully dodge diamonds and aces after the board ran out .
Meanwhile, Gino Levrini was eliminated from the tournament in 24th place.
Olivier Busquet opened for 12,000 under the gun and was met by a three-bet to 38,000 by John Andress in the small blind. Ty Reiman then four-bet all in for 93,000, Busquet moved all in over the top, and Andress got out of the way.
Busquet:
Reiman:
Both players held big hands, but of course Busquet's was way out in front. The flop gave Reiman two pair, but he was left drawing to running kings as Busquet hit top set. The turn would be the final nail in Reiman's coffin, while the river would be the last card he would see in Event #15: $3,000 Six-Handed No-Limit Hold'em before exiting in 23rd place for $15,567.
Heinz Kamutzki opened for 12,000 under the gun, which inspired Ryan Olisar to shove all in for 104,000 from the hijack. John Andress then called from the cutoff, the button and blinds all folded, and Kamutzki got out of the way.
Olisar:
Andress:
Olisar was in dire straight, but he found new life when the flop delivered him the nuts. The turn meant Andress could claim the pot with a jack on the river, but it wasn't in the cards as the blanked.
