In a rather small pot to the final draw, Nacho Barbero discarded two while Nick Kost took one new card. Barbero check-called a bet and Kost showed his 10♥ / 7♥6♦3♣2♠ for a ten with Seven-Dugi. Barbero shook his head multiple times, studied his cards carefully and mucked while exposing only the 2♣.

Level 25

Badugi

Three way action after the first draw saw a check by Nacho Barbero and Chad Eveslage bet for Matthew Schultz to call. Barbero then raised and Eveslage was the only caller, as Schultz sent his cards into the muck.

On the second draw, Barbero patted while Eveslage took one new card. The bet by Barbero was raised by Eveslage with the former calling somewhat flustered.

They patted the final draw and Barbero check-called a bet. Eveslage revealed a number two and number one with the 6♠ / 4♠3♣2♦A♥ as Barbero exposed his 6♦5♣4♦A♠ with a loud smile.

"What did you catch?" the Argentinian inquired and Eveslage replied "I caught the six".

As the pot was pushed to Eveslage, Clayton Mozdzen joked "you like like Chad" to the winner of the hand.

Level 25

Badeucey

David Levi tangled with Andrew Brown and both patted after the final draw when Levi had moved all-in in the dark for a fraction of a bet. Brown called and Levi revealed the 6♥ / 9♣7♠5♥4♦ for a nine-nine to win the pot, as Brown double-checked his cards and mucked.

The double was for 235,000 and nearly halved the stack of Brown.

Near Double for Kost; Johnson Adds Chips

Level 25

Stud 8 or Better

Nick Kost: XxXx / 5♥6♠7♥A♦
Matthew Schultz: XxXx / A♣6♥10♣8♥ folded on sixth street

Nick Kost was one of the shortest stacks on the redraw and bet all the way against Matthew Schultz. He had just over one bet behind on sixth and Schultz mulled it over before folding.

At the same time, James Johnson scooped a hand of the same variant against chip leader Andrew Kelsall to put a dent into the big stack of his table neighbour.

Chip Jett Eliminated in 17th Place ($6,220)

Level 24

Stud Hi-Lo Regular

Chip Jett: 3♠3♦ / 8♦Q♦6♣5♥5♣
John Racener: J♠6♦ / 7♥J♦8♠4♥ / 8♣

"You keep catching good run outs," Chip Jett sighed in table chat when he was all-in against John Racener. Having come back from two single chips prior to the three table redraw, there was no escaping for Jett this time.

He ended the hand with fives and treys but his queen-eight was no good for the low portion either, as Racener scooped with jacks and sixes as well as a jack-eight.

Before departing, Jett joked "silly game" as he then headed straight to the payout desk.

Mike Patrick

Level 24

Omaha 8 or Better

As Dominick Sarle was being eliminated, so too was Robert Goldfarb, at the hands of Andrew Brown.

Goldfarb raised in early position and Brown flatted his big blind. On a rainbow flop of 10x5x3x, Brown bet and Goldfarb committed his final 22,000 chips.

Robert Goldfarb: KxJx3x2x
Andrew Brown: Ax8x7x2x

The board completed 7x6x and Brown's pair of sevens were enough to win the high, while he also had the nut low to scoop the pot and eliminate Goldfarb.

There will now be a redraw for the final three tables at the end of the penultimate level on Day 2.

The Kost of Living Sends Sarle to the Rail

Christian Zetzsche

Level 24

Chip Jett was knocked down to a mere 2,000 and he then won two Stud 8 or Better hands to suddenly jump back to more than a bet.

One table over, two Omaha variants caused trouble to Nick Kost and Dominick Sarle.

Kost first took three quarters of Sarle in a Big O hand, then Sarle survived a three-way all-in via chop against Paresh Doshi and Chad Eveslage with the latter earning the second half of the pot.

PLO

Shortly after, it switched to Pot-Limit Omaha and Sarle was all-in preflop versus Kost.

Dominick Sarle: A♦9♥7♠2♦
Nick Kost: A♣K♥8♣2♣
