The {5-Hearts} completed the board and Sammartino checked to Aido, who bet 60,000. Sammartino called and Aido tabled {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs} for a king-high flush. Sammartino mucked and Aido scooped the pot.

The action was found on the {4-Spades}{6-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} flop, with about 225,000 already in the middle.

Frank Funaro bet 55,000 and Seth Davies called to see the {10-Hearts} turn. Funaro bet again, this time 75,000 and Davies called.

On the {5-Hearts} river, Funaro gave up with a check, and Davies checked back.

McKeehen Dusts Arani

Level 7 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

[Removed:321] Arani raised it up from middle position and Joe McKeehen stuck in a three-bet from the small blind. Arani four-bet shoved all in and McKeehen snapped him off.

[Removed:321] Arani: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Joe McKeehen: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and Arani was left drawing dead by the turn. After the stacks were counted, Arani was the player at risk for just over 600,000 while McKeehen barely had him covered.

Guilbert Re-Enters, Doubles Right Away

Level 6 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Johan Guilbert just recently re-entered the tournament and wasted little time putting his fresh stack of 300,000 chips to work. Guilbert opened to 18,000 in early position and Rok Gostisa three-bet to 48,000 in the hijack. Guilbert four-bet jammed all in for 319,000 and Gostisa quickly called.

Johan Guilbert: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Rok Gostisa: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

Guilbert held a commanding lead through the {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop. A clean runout on the turn and river ensured Guilbert of a full double up.

Fox Gets a Fold; Kincaid Out

Level 6 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Stephen Chidwick opened to 18,000 from the hijack and was called by Elio Fox in the cutoff and John Kincaid in the big blind.

The flop came {9-Hearts}{k-Spades}{k-Hearts} and action checked to Fox, who bet 16,000. Kincaid called and Chidwick then check-raised to 50,000. Only Fox called.

The turn brought the {7-Diamonds} and Chidwick continued for 60,000. Fox again called.

The {4-Clubs} completed the board and Chidwick checked — prompting Fox to slide 500,000 into the middle, which was enough to put Chidwick all in.

Chidwick folded and Fox added to his stack.

John Kincaid busted shortly after the hand ended.
