Del Vecchio In and Out

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Michael Del Vecchio was one of the Day 2 entries and he just recently took his seat on Table 22. Unfortunately for him, a red-hot Daniel Deveau was just a couple of seats away and the two players collided in a big pot.

Del Vecchio opened to 1,200 in the hijack and the button three-bet to 3,500. Deveau splashed in a four-bet to 9,500 and Del Vecchio five-bet jammed all in for around 45,000. The button thought for a minute before folding and Deveau quickly called.

Daniel Deveau: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Michael Del Vecchio: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Del Vecchio was sent to the rail not long after sitting in his seat.

Grigorian Sends Rodriguez to the Rail

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

The flop showed {q-Hearts}{2-Spades}{9-Spades} on a three-way pot when Grigorian bet 2,600 and Roberto Rodriguez three-bet. Neil Blumenfield folded and Grigorian moved all-in, putting Rodriguez's tournament at risk. The latter quickly called for the following showdown:

Roberto Rodriguez: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Chris Grigorian: {q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

Grigorian, with two pair on the flop, was in good shape to win the pot and bust his opponent, which he did after the rest of the board fell {8-Hearts} and {6-Diamonds}. "Ship it to Armenia," said Grigorian while adding the chips to his stack.

Bicknell Eliminated from the Race

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Steven Mavrikos limped and Bahar Musa raised it to 1,800, called by Anthony Mender on the button. Kristen Bicknell, situated in the big blind, thought about her move for a minute before pushing her last 5400 chips in the middle. Musa and Mender made the call.

The two remaining active players checked throughout the board {5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{q-Spades} and the three players tabled their cards.

Holding {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}, Mender had the winning hand with a pair of queens on the river, facing {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} for Musa and {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for Bicknell who was eliminated from the event.
