Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Greg Raymer
Greg Raymer

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.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Mauro Scala raised to 1,500 from early position and was called by Nhat Duc Nguyen in the seat to his left. A player in middle position then squeezed to 6,500. After it folded back to Scala he put in the call and this encouraged Nguyen to call as well.

Scala and Nguyen both checked, but the middle position player fired out a delayed continuation-bet of 8,000. Only Scala made the call.

The river came the 2♠. Scala then check-folded to a bet of 17,000 from his opponent
