Mylenki Takes from Baxter

Level 36 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Brynden Baxter raised to 2,200,000 and after some consideration, Peter Mylenki called from the blinds.

The flop came {j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{j-Spades} and Mylenki check-called Baxter's continuation for 2,100,000. The turn {q-Clubs} brought no betting action.

On the river {9-Clubs}, Mylenki fired 5,000,000 and it was enough to win the pot without more restistance.

Double-Up for Calenzo

Level 35 : 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Kevin Calenzo moved all in for 6,700,000 under the gun and Kartik Ved made the call from the button.

Kevin Calenzo: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Kartik Ved: {a-Spades}{8-Spades}

Calenzo was in bad shape to double up once more but a board {10-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{9-Spades}{k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} gave him a full house. he is now up to 12,300,000.

Curry's Gamble Pays Off

Level 35 : 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Adrian Curry
Adrian Curry

Adrian Curry raised to 2,400,000, and action folded to Beau Battista, who three-bet shoved his remaining 12,800,000.

When action folded back around to Curry he made the call, saying, "Gamble, I came here to win," and the players tabled their hands.

Beau Battista: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Adrian Curry: {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

The gamble didn't look too good on the {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{9-Spades} board, but that all changed when the dealer put the {5-Spades} on the river, which gave Curry a set and eliminated Battista from the tournament.

Battista took it all in stride, saying it was ok because he had pretty much done the same thing to another player earlier in the tournament.

McKenzie Shows Aces

Level 35 : 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Vincent Meli opened to 1,600,000 and it was called by Timothy Adkison in the cut-off. Andrew Mckenzie thought about his move for a minute and moved all in.

His two opponents folded and McKenzie showed {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} with a smile.

"All-in and a Call!"

Level 35 : 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

"All-in and a call!" is the most commonly heard noise coming from the Amazon Gold section, as chips are flying everywhere during these undeep stages. Mahesh Rathi was one of those guys going for it, and he shoved all in for 4,700,000 over an under-the-gun raise.

Sandro Burkhard four-bet to 12,000,000 from middle position and the intial raiser gave it up.

Mahesh Rathi: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Sandro Burkhard: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

A board of {9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{3-Hearts} was fanned out and a gloating Rathi, who lost an all-in to Burkhard earlier today, raked in the pot.

At the same time at an adjacent table, Steven Vargas moved in with the {a-}{3-} and received a call from big blind Peter Mylenki with {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, who flopped a queen to rail Vargas. Giancarlo Gallego joined Vargas not long after when his {a-Spades}{j-Clubs} failed to improve against Aaron Frei's {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} in a 13M pot, sending the MSPT champ up to 60M in the process.

Set Versus Set for Christensen

Level 35 : 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Mahesh Rathi opened to 2,000,000 and Morten Christensen announced all in for a stack of 7,100,000. John McAvoy made the call and after some thoughts, Rathi folded his hand.

John McAvoy: {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Morten Christensen: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

The flop came {7-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, giving both players a set, followed by {a-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and the pot was sent to Christensen. McAvoy said, "We would have been all in on the flop anyway".

Elharar Triples Up

Level 35 : 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Rafi Elhara shoved all from middle position. Action folded to Henry Mlekoday in the hijack and he asked for a count. Once the dealer confirmed a total of 10,300,000, Mlekoday then announced that he was all in. Ricardo Klaassen then made the call from the button, having both players covered.

Rafi Elharar: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Henry Mlekoday: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Ricardo Klaassen: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

The board ran out {q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades}, which secured the triple-up for Elharar and eliminated Mlekoday from the tournament.
