Slow and Steady Wins the Race

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

A marathon is not something you should rush and the players are taking their time. A lot of the pots are kept small and are taken down by a single raise or continuation-bet.

Yichen Xu Eliminated in 11th Place ($26,888)

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

It folded around to big blind Gustavo Darosamuniz and he put all of his chips in the middle. The bet was for 1,015,000 and Yicheng Xu pushed all in from the small blind for 600,000. Big blind Roman Korenev woke up with a hand as well and called it off, covering both of his opponents and hoping to score a double knock-out.

Yicheng Xu: {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Gustavo Darosamuniz: {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Roman Korenev: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

The Brazilian rail was shouting for a ''quatro'' and they got exactly that on the {8-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop. The turn was the {8-Spades} which locked it up for Darosamuniz and the {3-Hearts} river was just a formality.

Darosamuniz more than doubles while Xu was sent to the rail and he had to settle for 11th place and $26,888.
