Blinds: 100,000/250,000
Ante: 250,000
Marius Lussi shoved all in for 1,225,000 in the hijack. Next to him sat Alexander Gittings, who tanked for a while and then three-bet to 2,000,000. Nobody else wanted to join the party, so it went to a showdown.
Marius Lussi : A♥8♣
Alexander Gittings: K♣K♦
The board ran out 9♣9♥6♦3♣9♦ with no room for improvement for Lussi, and he was sent packing.
A three-way all-in broke out when Vladas Tamasauskas jammed for 1,000,000 and was called by Brian Stonoff for less at 800,000. Peter Galloway got involved and called both players for 775,000 to send the trio to a showdown.
Peter Galloway: A♠K♥
Brian Stonoff: A♦J♦
Vladas Tamasauskas: K♦4♦
The board came in Galloway's favor when the flop fanned out 6♦A♣9♦. The 5♠ turn and the 2♣ river completed the board to award Galloway the triple.
Stonoff won the 250,000 side pot, and Galloway was left with 75,000.
Both Stonoff and Galloway would bust shortly after to end their tournament run.
Peter Galloway opened the action with an all-in from under the gun to 1,500,000. Siarhei Chudapal called from middle position for 800,000 to put himself at risk.
Siarhei Chudapal: Q♦10♦
Peter Galloway: 7♣7♠
Galloway held the slight lead and the flop of K♣K♦6♦ kept Galloway's sevens in top position, but Chudapal gained outs with a flush draw. The 4♠ turn was not the texture Chudapal was hoping for, but the 10♣ was as it gave Chudapal a higher pair to stay in the tournament.
Action was folded around to Brian Stonoff in the cutoff, and he moved all in for his last 1,750,000. All other players folded apart from Ben Fan in the big blind, who looked down at his cards and announced all in as well, Stonoff had him covered.
Ben Fan K♣K♦
Brian Stonoff: A♥Q♦
No ace, trips or miracle straights for Stonoff on the 8♣2♦2♥4♥9♣ runout, and he was left with a bowl of rice to play with and just 525,000.
Hai Nguyen moved all-in for 1,675,000, and action was folded around to Daniel Trianaruiz in the big blind who only had 300,000 behind. The clock was called on Trianaruiz, and he was given five seconds to act as he had been constantly stalling for pay jumps. He made the call.
Daniel Trianaruiz: A♣K♥
Hai Nguyen: J♣J♦
No help for Trianaruiz on the 8♥4♥4♣2♣5♠ runout, and he was sent packing.
Matthew Bode moved all in from the hijack for 1,875,000 and Laurent Crochemore called in the small blind for 1,100,000 to put himself at risk.
Laurent Crochemore: A♣K♦
Matthew Bode: K♣J♥
Crochemore pulled ahead further on the Q♣A♥A♦ flop, improving to trip aces. The Q♦ turn and 6♣ river offered no help to Bode who was left with just 775,000.
A few moments later, Bode was seen exiting the tournament area.
Vladas Tamasauskas went all-in from the button for 1,450,000 and was called in the big blind as Brian Stonoff went all-in for less at 450,000.
Brian Stonoff: J♥4♥
Vladas Tamasauskas: A♥4♠
Tamasauskas had Stonoff dominated, but the 10♠J♦2♠ gave Stonoff the lead with a pair of jacks. The 9♣ turn did not change the state of the hand, and the 4♦ river gave Stonoff two pair.
Mark Manges jammed from the button for 1,025,000 and was called in the big blind by Alexander Gittings to go to a showdown.
Mark Manges: A♠6♥
Alexander Gittings: A♦10♠
Manges was dominated by the better ace of Gittings, but the 6♣9♦J♠ flop turned that around and gave Manges the lead. The 8♥ turn gave Gittings a straight draw, but the 5♠ bricked to give Manges the win.
