Del Grosso Bubbles $10,000 PLO Championship in Pot With Lamphere and Burchfield

Frank Visser

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Marcello Del Grosso was all in from the big blind for his final few chips and was looked up by Adam Lamphere on the button and Kristopher Burchfield in the small blind.

Lamphere and Burchfield then checked down their hands on the
9♥10♥5♣9♣A♦ board and all three were tabled.

Marcello Del Grosso: Q♠Q♣J♠8♦ All in
Kristopher Burchfield: Q♥7♦6♠5♦
Adam Lamphere: Q♦9♠6♦4♠

Lamphere made trip nines to best the queens of Del Grosso, who had also missed his straight draws on the river.

He dejectedly left his seat as the 122 remaining players were all in the money as they went on dinner break.

Level 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Noah Bronstein had tossed his final blind in from early position and Marco Witt and Elie Nakache created a sidepot by raising. On a flop of 4♠8♥6♣, Witt check-folded to Nakache's bet, leading to a showdown.

Noah Bronstein: A♦K♦10♣5♠ All in
Elie Nakache: A♠A♥4♦3♠

It was looking bleak for Bronstein, and the 4♣A♣ runout made Nakache a full house to eliminate him.

On another table, Vincent Moscati was also all in for his final few chips against Raj Vohra.

Vincent Moscati: Q♣J♦9♣7♠ All in
Raj Vohra: K♥10♠3♠2♥

The board ran out 7♦3♥5♣3♦3♣, giving quads to his opponent and eliminating Moscati.

With those two eliminations, 123 remained as the $10,000 PLO Championship entered the stone bubble.

Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

After losing a couple of small pots in a row, Justin Smith got back to winning ways to keep his stack hanging steady as the bubble approaches.

Smith opened to 17,000 from the cutoff and received a call from a player in the big blind.

Action checked through the 9♠J♠5♣ flop to the 7♠ turn where the big blind checked again. Smith took the opportunity to bet, making it 30,000 to call. His opponent did not immediately fold but eventually mucked their holding to send the pot over to Smith.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

After he had previously chipped up through Elie Nakache, Phil Ivey sent the chips back in the same direction and was sent to the rail. They only got it in after the 7♠5♠2♠6♣J♠ river on which Nakache showed the A♠K♥Q♣8♠ for the nut flush and Ivey tossed his cards towards the muck.

The dealer briefly exposed what appeared to be a nine-high straight.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Eelis Parssinen and Fahredin Mustafov in the cutoff had created a pot of 182,000 when they went to a flop of 8♦6♠9♥. Parssinen led out for 51,000 and Mustafov made the call.

Parssinen then jammed all in on the 2♥ turn for 271,000 and was quickly called by Mustafov, who had the covering stack.

Eelis Parssinen: K♣10♦9♦7♣ All in
Fahredin Mustafov: A♥A♣Q♠3♥

The 5♣ river did not complete Mustafov's flush draw, and Parssinen's flopped straight saw him win a pot of over 160 big blinds.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Arthur Morris limped in under the gun, Michael Moncek did so as well in middle position, and the player in the big blind checked. Morris then checked on the 9♦7♠2♥ flop, and Moncker bet 23,000 chips, around half of his remaining starting stack.

The big blind folded and Morris called. The 4♣ fell on the turn and Morris put Moncek all in, with the latter making a quick call.

Michael Moncek: Q♠J♠9♠8♠ All in
Arthur Morris: A♠A♣Q♣2♠
