Georgios Sotiropoulos Eliminated in 8th Place ($57,051)

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Georgios Sotiropoulos
Georgios Sotiropoulos

Georgios Sotiropoulos moved all in for his last 5,000 from middle position, prompting Uri Reichenstein to isolate with a raise to 180,000 from the small blind. Action was on Renji Mao in the big blind, who couldn’t help but laugh at the situation, clearly facing a tough decision. After some thought, Mao ultimately let his hand go.

Georgios Sotiropoulos: A♠5♦ All in
Uri Reichenstein: Q♠Q♥

The flop gave Sotiropoulos a pair on 4♦8♦5♥ but could not find his outs when the board ran out 4♣ on the turn and 6♣ on the river.

Sotiropoulos was eliminated, and Reichenstein took his stack to nearly 7,000,000

New Chip Leader

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Georgios Sotiropoulos raised from the button to 130,000, and [Removed:658] 3-bet to 400,000 from the small blind, and Sotiropoulos flat called. The flop came out with 2♣9♣7♦, and [Removed:660] led out for 375,000, Sotiropoulos smooth called.

On the turn 2♦, [Removed:660] took the betting lead again with 850,000, and Sotiropoulos called.

The river J♥ was action-packed with excitement when [Removed:660] checked and Sotiropoulos moved most of his chips in leaving behind one five-thousand-chip. The dealer announced all in, and [Removed:660] quickly called and flipped over his cards, and Sotiropoulos flipped over his cards and then flipped them back over when he saw he had the losing hand.

[Removed:660] held Q♥Q♦ for top pair, and Sotiropoulos held K♦10♦ for the missed draw.

Michael Moncek Eliminated in 9th Place($44,018)

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Michael Moncek
Michael Moncek

Michael Moncek moved all in from the button for his last 1,200,000, and Uri Reichenstein called from the small blind.

Michael Moncek: A♠7♣ All in
Uri Reichenstein: 8♦8♠

'Texas' Michael Moncek needed to hit an ace or another miracle of some sort to stay alive.

There was no help for Moncek on the 9♥J♥K♦ flop, and when the 5♣ fell on the turn, he was left to just hitting an ace on the river to survive.

Unfortunately for Moncek, the 3♦ brick on the river didn't help at all, and he was sent to the rail as the official final table bubble boy.

[Removed:601] Takes Big Pot from Sotiropoulos

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

With roughly 320,000 already in the middle and the flop reading 9♣2♦6♣, [Removed:599] fired for 175,000 from the cutoff. Georgios Sotiropoulos, seated on the button, made the call to keep things going.

The 10♠ landed on the turn, and [Removed:601] kept up the pressure with a bet of 550,000. Sotiropoulos stuck around once again with another call.

The river brought the J♣, but this time [Removed:601] checked it over to his opponent. Sotiropoulos went deep into the tank before sliding out a bet worth 1,220,000. [Removed:601] didn’t need much time and snap-called.

Sotiropoulos revealed K♦10♦ for a pair of tens, but [Removed:601] tabled 8♣7♣ for a rivered flush to scoop in a sizable pot.

Roberts on a Roll

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Christian Roberts raised from middle position to 125,000, and Uri Reichenstein 3-bet to 350,000 from the cutoff; everyone else folded. Roberts made the 4-bet to 725,000, and Uri Reichenstein moved all in with the superior stack. Roberts called immediately for his last 100,000.

Christian Roberts: A♣A♥ All in
Uri Reichenstein: A♦5♦

The board went well for Roberts with 9♣7♦10♥7♥5♠, and he secured a nice stack boost.
