Yuri Dzivielevski

Brian Rast led out with a bet on a board of {8-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs}. Yuri Dzivielevski then raised, and Rast called. On the {a-Diamonds} turn, Dzivielevski checked to Rast, who bet. Dzivielevski check-raised again, and Rast called.

The {a-Spades} came on the river, and Dzivielevski bet. Rast called but mucked when Dzivielevski turned over {5-Spades}{3-Spades} for the straight.

"That was a good bet. I would've checked back 100 percent," Rast said as he went on to break.

Christopher Vitch Eliminated by Ray Dehkharghani

Level 15 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Chris Vitch
Chris Vitch

Shortly after losing the majority of his short stack in a pot with John Racener, the remainder of Christopher Vitch's chips disappeared as well.

Dehkharghani raised in early position with Vitch in the big blind with only 38,000 chips, and 12,000 of those in the pot already.

Vitch opted to raise and commit himself. Dehkharghani obliged, and the duo saw five cards with Vitch's tournament on the line.

Christopher Vitch: {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Ray Dehkharghani: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

The board ran out {j-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades}{6-Spades}, bringing no help to Vitch and ending his tournament.

16 players now remain in the tournament, with 14 getting paid.

Ray Dehkharghani and Terrence Chan just went to battle in the blinds, with Dehkharghani building his stack into one of the contenders in the room.

Dehkharghani showed {q-Clubs}{3-Hearts} for trip threes, giving him a pot that pushes his stack close to the 500,000 mark.
