Michael Giacobbe

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Under the gun opened the action with a raise to 1,200. Six opponents wanted to see a flop, including Brian Stonoff in the small blind.

The dealer put out a A♠10♦J♦ flop and action checked to early position who fired 2,500. Middle position and Stonoff both called.

Stonoff led for 5,000 on the 3♦ turn, and only middle position called.

The 7♠ river hit the felt, and Stonoff bet 12,500, forcing his opponent all in, and he made the call. Stonoff flipped over 7♦5♦ for a seven-high flush, and his opponent showed K♣Q♣ before leaving his seat.

Maxime Taldir

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Greg Raymer found himself at risk from under the gun for 33,300 against Gabriel Penescu in middle position with the biggest stack of all and Adam Curchak on the button, who moved all-in for his last 8,600.

Adam Curchak: 9♣9♠ All in
Greg Raymer: J♣J♠ All in
Gabriel Penescu: A♠A♦

Penescu was on his way to score a double elimination after the flop of 8♥8♦3♥, but Curchak was lucky enough to hit the 9♦ on the turn to get a full house. The 8♠ on the river gave a boat to all three players, but it wasn't enough to save Raymer who was eliminated.

The 2004 WSOP Main Event champion kindly put his signature on his fossil and offered it to Penescu before taking a last picture with him and leaving the tournament area.
