Calvin Anderson
Calvin Anderson

In a blind versus blind situation, Tu Dao raised from the small blind and Calvin Anderson called.

The flop came {6-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Anderson raised Dao's continuation bet, with the latter making the call. The turn was the {2-Clubs} and this time Dao check-called a bet from Anderson.

On the {a-Diamonds} river, Dao led out with a bet and Anderson called, with 2,000, chips left behind. Dao revealed {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for a pair of aces on the river and Anderson mucked.

The hand after, Anderson was all in from the small blind for his last chips with {q-Spades}{4-Hearts} and was facing Dao who held {j-Clubs}{10-Spades}. The board brought {j-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, bringing a pair of jacks for Dao to eliminate the winner of the 2018 $10,000 Razz Championship.

Level 12 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante
Georgios Sotiropoulos (in a previous event)
Georgios Sotiropoulos (in a previous event)

Georgios Sotiropoulos has been grinding his short stack and has improved his stack significantly from where he started the day.

Just now he was in a hand on the turn, in which he was playing out of the small blind and he bet 5,000 into a pot with {6-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{j-Clubs} on show. Ian Johns was the one with a decision to make and after checking his cards again a couple of times, he decided it was best to let it go.

The very next hand, Sotiropoulos opened blind v blind and met with no opposition to add a little more chips to his stack.

Song and Johnson Out

Level 12 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Kevin Song and Marco Johnson have both been eliminated recently and the rest of the players may feel their chances have improved with those two successful players out of the running, both who have taken at least one bracelet home in their careers.

It also reduces the field to 10 away from the money stages of the competition.
