Arroyos Gets Filatov to Fold

Level 27 : 60,000/120,000, 0 ante

Pete Arroyos and Aleksey Filatov each put in 975,000 on a {J-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} board into an already substantial pot.

The {9-Hearts} hit the river and Arroyos shoved from the small blind, putting Filatov, who was in middle position, to a decision for his 960,000 remaining chips. He went into the tank for over five minutes before he ultimately folded and Arroyos took the pot.

Westheimer Survives

Level 27 : 60,000/120,000, 0 ante

Steve Westheimer threw in his last 310,000 out of the hijack and Michael Mizrachi called on the button.

Westheimer showed {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{J-Spades}{10-Diamonds} but Mizrachi got ahead with {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades} as he hit a pair of aces on {8-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{2-Spades}.

The {6-Spades} turn left Westheimer drawing for just two outs and he spiked one of them on the {J-Diamonds} river to survive.

Iwaniak Dispatched by Mizrachi

Level 26 : 50,000/100,000, 0 ante

Michael Mizrachi raised to 225,000 and Linda Iwaniak potted out of the small blind. Mizrachi called and snap-called Iwaniak's all in for her last 350,000 or so when the {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop arrived.

Iwaniak showed {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} but Mizrachi had a ton of outs with {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Clubs} for a wrap and a flush draw.

Mizrachi hit a straight on the {7-Diamonds} river and increased his stack while the last female player in the tournament departed in 36th place.

Roe Makes a Boat with Danglers

Level 26 : 50,000/100,000, 0 ante

Bridges Roe jammed 350,000 in the first position and the player behind him took his chance to knock Roe out.

Roe turned up {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} and learned that he raced against {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}.

The {10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{K-Clubs} board gave Roe's rival a wrap, but the {2-Diamonds} turn and {2-Clubs} river filled Roe's danglers and he doubled with a full house.
