Tran Busts Vazan

Laura Fryer

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Moshe Vazan was all in, at risk from the cutoff and covered by JC Tran who was in middle position. The cards were already on their backs.

Moshe Vazan: Q♥10♥ All in
JC Tran: A♠J♠

Vazan flopped a flush draw on 4♥3♥3♦ but Tran was still ahead.

The J♦ turn improved Tran and Vazan missed on the 5♦ river.

Vazan was eliminated from the tournament with around 50 players remaining.

Zhang Takes Down Two

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Jesse Yaginuma opened to 225,000 from middle position, leaving just 5,000 behind. Xinwen Zhang then shoved for 525,000 on the button, leaving Josue Aguirre Barrera with a difficult decision on a pay jump bubble. He took his time, and eventually another player at the table called the clock. With three seconds left, he pushed his 495,000 into the middle.

Zhang then flipped over her cards, as action went back on to Yaginuma, not knowing that he'd kept a chip in front of him. He then started tanking, and flicked in his remaining 5,000 after making a pay jump, despite knowing he was behind.

Jesse Yaginuma: A♣6♣ All in
Josue Aguirre Barrera: 10♥10♦ All in
Xinwen Zhang: K♣K♥

The flop was brutal for Yaginuma, who saw an ace in the window, flopped two pair, yet was still outflopped by Zhang when the board came down 6♥K♦A♥. The 8♠ left Aguirre Barrera drawing dead, and the J♣ led Yaginuma to the same fate, while Zhang more than doubled up, and was also handed two bounty chips

Ivanov is Hanging On; Magsakay Busts

Laura Fryer

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Action started when Timothy Callari jammed from an early position for his remaining 250,000. Lyudmil Ivanov called from the big blind and had only 75,000 behind.

Timothy Callari: A♠6♣ All in
Lyudmil Ivanov: J♥Q♥

Callari was looking to hold and he was sitting comfortably after hitting trip Aces on the A♣A♥9♦Q♦7♠ runout. Ivanov was left with only 1.5 big blinds after the hand.

A few hands later, Ivanov jammed the button for 45,000 and Vamerdino Magsakay moved all in from the small blind.

Lyudmil Ivanov: A♠3♦ All in
Vamerdino Magsakay: Q♣6♣

Aces were good this time for Ivanov as the flop came A♦6♠A♣, and the K♥, J♠ turn and river secured him the double back.

This was the start of Magsakay's down turn as he was seen walking away from the table only a few hands later.

Five Hundred Dollar Five For Shade

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Angela Shade got it all in preflop with a towering stack against Ashraf Dighwali, as the two went off to the races.

Ashraf Dighwali: A♣10♠ All in
Angela Shade: 5♣5♥

The 10♣7♥9♦ flop almost assured Dighwali's double up, and the K♦ turn eliminated any straight possibilities for Shade. However, the dealer put out the brutal 5♠ river to send Dighwali home, and let Shade keep adding to her already monstrous stack, as well as picking up yet another $500 bounty chip.

Bob Mathers: A♠K♥ All in
William Mical: 8♥7♥

The board ran out 9♥5♠2♠8♠4♣ and the eight paired up with Mical and Mathers was eliminated from the tournament.

Mike Dreese: 8♣5♠ All in
Aaron Elder: Q♠J♦ All in
Shant Marashlian: K♥K♠

The board ran out 9♦7♣7♥Q♣8♥ and the kings up was good for the pot.

Myles Phago

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Maxwell Lytell moved all-in under the gun for his last 65,000 only to see Stefan Dimitrov three-bet to 115,000 from early position. Action was folded around to Paul Saso in the big blind, who then four-bet to 200,000. Dimitrov called.

The flop came 8♥7♠9♠ and Saso bet out for 220,000. Dimitrov went into the tank for a while before he announced all in for 495,000. Saso snap called and had Dimitrov covered.

Maxwell Lytell: 10♦9♣ All in
Stefan Dimitrov: A♦10♣ All in
Paul Saso: A♣A♠

The 10♥ came on the turn and gave Lytell two pair to take the lead for the main pot, and when the 5♦ bricked out on the river he was pushed the pot for a treble up. Saso won the bigger side pot and eliminated Dimitrov, claiming his bounty.

Player	Chips	Progress
Paul Saso	1,250,000 765,000	765,000
Maxwell Lytell	270,000 270,000	270,000

Kemper Knocks Out Another

Jacob Wilson

Level 22 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Weizheng Zhong open shoved with a just over ten big blind stack, and the table's largest stack, Drake Kemper, called from the small blind.

Weizheng Zhong: A♣10♠ All in
Drake Kemper: A♥8♠

The 8♦5♠6♦ flop was a rough one for Zhong, as he was now looking for just a ten to stay alive. The K♠Q♦ runout did not help him improve, and he was sent home as Kemper picked up his eighth bounty of the event.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Jeremie Duffy moved all in for his last 75,000 in early position. Next to act, Michael Reed raised to 225,000. Noah Workman then moved all in from the small blind for 420,000. Reed made the call and all three players showed their hands.

Jeremie Duffy: J♣10♥ All in
Noah Workman: A♣8♣ All in
Michael Reed: K♦Q♦

The board ran out 8♥5♠2♥K♥6♣ and Reed's pair of kings wound as the best hand out of all three players. He eliminated both of his opponents, and collected two bounties in the process.
