Nick Cipiti
Nick Cipiti

Nick Cipiti limped under the gun and Justin Zaki raised it up to 40,000. It was a call from Cipiti and they went heads up to the {3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop.

Cipiti checked to Zaki, who bet 30,000 and it was a check-call from Cipiti. The turn brought out a {2-Clubs} and Cipiti checked again. Zaki barreled for 62,000 and Cipiti moved all-in. It was a snap from Zaki and they tabled their holdings.

Justin Zaki: {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Nick Cipiti: {2-Spades}{2-Hearts}

Cipiti was in terrible shape with only the case deuce to save him. It was a {7-Diamonds} instead on the river and Cipiti hit the rail.

Weinman Eliminated

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Daniel Weinman
Daniel Weinman

Daniel Weinman raised to 22,000 and Georgios Tavoularis called. Weinman continued for 18,000 on the {8-Spades}{k-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop and Tavoularis raised to 63,000. Weinman moved all in and Tavoularis called.

Daniel Weinman: {a-Spades}{4-Spades}
Georgios Tavoularis: {j-Spades}{k-Spades}

The {3-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} runout missed Weinman's hand and he was left with just 5,000. That went in on the next hand and Tavoularis raised it up to 26,000. Trey Brabham called and the flop came {9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. Brabham forced Tavoularis out of the hand with a bet and the cards were turned over.

Trey Brabham: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Daniel Weinman: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

The board completed {j-Spades}{6-Clubs} and Weinman was eliminated.
