Farhad Jamasi opted to go all in for 111,000 from early position and was called in the next seat over by Naseem Salem.
Farhad Jamasi: A♠K♥
Naseem Salem: Q♠Q♣
The flop did not look good for Jamari as it fanned out 3♠3♣10♦, but the K♣ turn was exactly what Jamasi hoped for as the 10♥ bricked the river to award him the double-up.
Ariel Abbatiello raised to 16,000 from late position and was called by James Leonard in the big blind.
Action checked through on the 5♣Q♣6♦ flop.
The turn was the J♠. Leonard checked, Abbatiello bet 20,000, and Leonard called.
Both players checked when the K♣ peeled off on the river. Leonard tabled K♥10♥, which was good for the win.
Eric Cloutier moved all in for his remaining 116,000 stack from middle position, and Leonardo Fernandez called and covered on the button.
Eric Cloutier: 9♦9♣
Leonardo Fernandez: 10♥10♣
Cloutier needed to improve but missed on the 5♦K♦7♥K♥5♠ runout, and he was eliminated from the tournament only 5 from the money.
Players are now in hand for hand.
Gary Benson was the player to bubble the Seniors High Roller, as he lost all of his chips across two hands.
Hand 1:
Action was picked up on the turn in a hand between Gary Benson in early position and Raj Vohra on the button. With a board reading 8♣4♠8♥8♠ Vohra bet 10,000, and Benson called.
The river card was the A♣, Benson checked, and Vohra bet 45,000. After some thought, Benson called only to get shown 9♦8♦ for quads.
Hand 2:
On the very first deal of hand-for-hand play, Benson was forced all in from the big blind. With just 10,000 in his stack, there was only 2,000 ante in the middle to play for. He knew he was in trouble when the very first player to act, Guillermo Castillo, raised to 18,000. The second player to act was Ron West, who then shoved for 177,000. Castillo didn't make the call.
Gary Benson: 4♥4♦
Ron West: Q♠Q♣
The J♦3♥2♦ flop gave Benson a couple of backdoor outs, however that route was shut down by the 2♠ turn. He couldn't boat up on the 6♦ river, and there was a cheer in the room as the players found out that they'd cashed.
Patrick Ray and Herbert Gelman played for all the chips when Ray went all in for his final 136,000.
Patrick Ray: A♣J♦
Herbert Gelman: A♥K♥
Gelman put the nail in the coffin on the 4♠5♣9♦K♠8♥ board to send Ray out of the tournament.
Michael Farris was all in and at risk for 68,000 and was up against Leonardo Fernandez.
Michael Farris: A♣A♥
Leonardo Fernandez: 5♥5♦
The dealer ran out a board of 4♦Q♣K♦8♠7♠, keeping Farris's hopes alive in Event #40.
Charles Mitchell shoved for 63,000 from early position, and received one caller in Rick Whitesell, who had only 31,000.
Rick Whitesell: A♥K♠
Charles Mitchell: K♣Q♥
"A queen's coming," announced Mitchell, but he was incorrect as the board ran out 8♦3♥J♦6♥5♥ leaving him even more short-stacked than he was before.
That being said, the next hand he got an under the gun shove through, before getting all in in the big blind against Julio Belluscio. Both players held Ax10x and he kept on chipping up slowly.
