Sick River for Cresiski

Myles Phago

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Daniel Jose raised from middle position to 12,000, only to face a three-bet all-in for 41,000 from Richard Cresiski in late position. Jose snap-called.

Richard Cresiski: K♥Q♥ All in
Daniel Jose: K♦J♦

A pretty safe flop came for Cresiski of A♥2♠A♦, but when the 5♦ came on the turn, he felt there could be trouble ahead. Cresiski was proved right when the Q♦ peeled off on the river to make Jose a flush, sending him to the rail.

Johnnie Vibes Doubles

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Johnnie "Vibes" Moreno shoved for his remaining 91,000 and was called by Taro Miura to go to a showdown with Moreno at risk. Moreno bantered, "I got it in with the best hand" as the players went to showdown.

Johnnie Moreno: Q♠Q♦ All in
Taro Miura: A♥Q♥

Moreno needed to fade the immediate out of an ace as they went into a runout. The flop of 9♣J♥7♠ did not give Miura any additional outs. The 4♠ turn and the 3♠ river completed the board to give Moreno the full double.

"I wanted the call," said Moreno in jest as he scooped the pot.

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The bubble has burst on the second hand of hand-for-hand play.

Three players were eliminated in the same hand so they will all take home a share of the 763rd & 762nd place prize money, which equates to approximately $761 each.

Serebryany Eliminated

Erick Torres

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Larry Serebryany committed the last of his stack and was called by Minho Suk to go to a showdown.

Larry Serebryany: K♥5♣ All in
Minho Suk: A♥9♥

The flop of J♦A♦2♦ deflated Serebryany's hopes of a double, but the 4♥ turn gave him some hope with outs to a straight. However, the 5♥ river was not the card he was looking for, as he was eliminated from the tournament.

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Short stacks are going in all over the place at the moment and some are doubling up but most are falling by the wayside!

Matthew Carroll moved all in from middle position for his last 101,000 only to see Jose Moranguzman three-bet all in also from middle position. All other players folded.

Matthew Carroll: A♦4♥ All in
Jose Moranguzman: J♥J♣

No nasty runout for Moranguzman on the 9♣8♠Q♥8♥8♦ board and Carroll was sent to the cage.
