Robert Burlacu raised from button to 1,000,000 which was for almost all of his stack. Shant Marashlian raised him all in and revealed his hand before Burlacu had called who then took a moment to call the floor but then called the remaining few chips.
Robert Burlacu: K♣Q♥
Shant Marashlian: A♠3♠
The board ran out 2♠5♣5♠6♥5♦ to end the run for Burlacu.
Action folded to Brent Hart in the cutoff who opened to 250,000. The big blind folded and Daniyal Gheba in the small blind raised to 750,000 which Hart called.
The flop fell 6♦5♣K♠ and Gheba continued for 450,000 which Hart called.
Both players checked the turn 6♣ and river K♣
Gheba revealed A♠8♠ to play the board's two pair with an ace kicker. Hart showed 10♠10♦ for a better two pair.
Mark Tarich found himself as a short stack after the dinner break and patiently waited for a spot to push.
He found it when Eddie Ochana raised to 200,000 under the gun, which resulted in Tarich moving all in. Action folded around back to Ochana, who made the call to put Tarich at risk.
Mark Tarich: 9♥9♣
Eddie Ochana: A♣J♥
Ochana took the lead when the dealer fanned Q♠6♣A♠ on the flop, and Tarich’s fate in 11th place was sealed when 2♠ and 8♦ completed the run out.
Action was on the flop as it read J♠3♥9♠. Mark Tarich bet 100,000.
"Just 100?" said Eddie Ochana before he called from the small blind while smiling at Tarich, who has been his newly made table buddy of the evening with the two of them chatting with each other in nearly every hand they play.
The turn was the 5♦. Tarich tossed out three mint colored chips for a bet of 300,000. Ochana called.
The river came the 6♦. This time, Ochana led for 500,000. Tarich called after a few seconds.
Ochana tabled the 5♥3♦ for two pair which bested the Jx2x of Tarich.
Brent Hart raised 200,000 on the button, and then Alexander Queen in the small blind and Daniyal Gheba in the big blind called to bring three-way action.
The flop brought 4♠10♠K♦ on the board, which all three players checked.
Action heated up on the turn, when the dealer placed 2♥ on the board.
Queen led out with 250,000, which forced a fold from Gheba. Hart glanced to Queen, and then counted out chips before raising to 600,000. Queen barely moved for a brief moment, and then announced an all-in bet for his remaining 1,500,000.
Hart immediately mucked his hand and the dealer pushed the pot to Queen.
