Lee Markholt raised to 16,000 in the cutoff, JC Tran called on the button, and 2014 WSOP bracelet winner Brock Parker moved all in for 133,000 out of the small blind. The action folded back to Markholt, who folded as well, and Tran made a fairly quick call.
Tran:
Parker:
The flop fell , giving Parker the nuts, and the hand was over when the turn brought the . The on the river was but a formality, and Parker doubled to 292,000 chips.
Igor Kurganov opened the button and both the small blind (Max Silver) as the big blind (George Danzer) made the call.
The two European players checked to the German/Russian player on . Kurganov made a 27,000 continuation bet and Silver called. Danzer now shoved all in for 139,000 more and Kurganov quickly released. Silver did the math, and called.
Silver:
Danzer:
The on the turn was a blank, and so was the on the river. Danzer's flopped straight dodged the clubs Silver was looking for, and the German player doubled up in the last hand before the break.
After losing the vast majority of his stack, Ben Volpe open-shoved on the button with , and Lee Markholt looked him up in the small blind with .
The dealer fanned giving Markholt a pair of kings and both players identical straight draws, and the turn was the . Volpe could no longer win the pot, and only an ace or queen on the river would keep him alive via a chop.
It was not to be as the bricked off on the river, and Volpe was eliminated.
On a board we saw Jeremy Ausmus check from the big blind to Ben Volpe in the hijack. Volpe bet out 17,000 and Ausmus made the call. Both players checked the on the turn, and the dealer burned and put the out on the river.
Ausmus checked again, and Volpe bet 34,000. Ausmus now slid 100,000 forward and Volpe thought about it for a little bit before reluctantly calling. He had to muck though after Ausmus tabled for a rivered flush.
When we arrived at table 352 the entire board was already on the table: . Nick Schulman had 46,000 in front of him, Max Silver had shoved from the bubble. Schulman had about 100,000 left and was pondering heavily.
"I really don't think I can get away from this" said Schulman. "I want to," he continued, "I love to fold."
Though he loved folding, he didn't. Schulman put his remaining chips in the middle, only to be shown a set of sevens by Silver. Schulman showed his ace-queen and mucked 'em not much later. Nick Schulman exited in 20th place, worth $22,483.
With just 19 players remaining, the tournament is on the verge of a redraw which will take place when one more player busts.
