Dudani Busts Benson

Frank Visser

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Shiva Dudani raised from the hijack and William Benson three-bet most of his chips in from the button. Dudani called and put his opponent all in on the subsequent Q♠4♥8♥ flop.

Benson called it off for his tournament life as the players showed down.

William Benson: A♥K♥J♣4♣ All in
Shiva Dudani: A♣Q♥10♣2♦

Dudani made a pair of queens on the flop, and that remained the best hand as the 3♦ turn and 6♦ river could not help Benson.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Santhosh Suvarna made a bet of 27,000 from the big blind on a flop of 2♥9♦10♠. His opponent called in the hijack, after which both checked the 8♦ turn.

On the A♣ river, Suvarna fired 87,000, and this was enough to make his opponent fold.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

With around 175 players remaining, the field is now entirely in the Silver section. One of the bigger stacks in the field is Austin Apicella, who has steadily increased his stack throughout the day thus far.

Fresh off winning a pot, he made it 13,000 to go on the button and called a pot-sized three-bet by Sean Rafael in the big blind. Rafael then potted for 88,000 on the 10♠7♥3♥ flop and Apicella folded. He still has more than three times as many chips as Rafael, though.

Austin Apicella	670,000 360,000	360,000

Pavel Left With His Thoughts

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Radu Pavel opened to 15,000 from under the gun and Firas Kashat called in the cutoff but only after informing Pavel he was doing so to either "help you win this tournament or send you home with something to think about".

As it turned out, neither happened with Pavel check-folding to a bet of 24,000 on the J♦2♠4♥ flop to put a small dent in his stack.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Xixiang Luo raised to 15,000 from under the gun and called a pot-sized three-bet to 48,000 by James Chen from one seat over. On the K♦6♠6♥ flop, Luo checked and then folded when Chen made it 30,000 to go.

At the same time one table over, the completed board showed A♦Q♠3♥3♦5♣. Josh Arieh was all-in for 149,000 and Dante Goya went deep into the tank before he folded.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jonathan Bowers put Steve Zolotow all in for his final 24,000 chips, roughly the same size of the pot, on a flop of 7♦7♣6♦. Zolotow mulled it over for a bit before reluctantly calling off for his tournament life.

Steve Zolotow: J♥J♣5♠4♥ All in
Jonathan Bowers: K♠9♠8♣6♥
