Big blind Yoshihiro Morita and Brumpacheco each called.

The flop came J♠4♥6♣ and Brumpacheco bet 4,000. Morita made the call. They checked down the turn-river combo 9♣2♠.

Sin Ren Chen showed 5♣5♦. Morita turned over 10♦10♠ for a bigger pair. Brumpacheco tabled J♣10♥, having made a pair of jacks on the flop, for the best hand.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action was picked up in a pot between three players with Luiz Antonio Silva Constantino in the small blind, Jesse Kertland under the gun, and David Jackson in middle position.

Constantino checked the flop of Q♠7♦5♠ over to Kertland who bet 7,000, prompting Jackson to raise to 25,000. Constantino moved all in for 54,500 and both Kertland and Jackson called.

Kertland checked the 6♣ turn, which saw Jackson bet 80,000 and Kertland folded.

Luiz Antonio Silva Constantino: A♠4♠ All in
David Jackson: 7♠7♣

The river 6♠ did give Constantino a flush, but it was no good against Jackson's sevens full and the WSOP bracelet winner took down the pot.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

San Kim raised to 5,000 in middle position. Caleb Ralston called in the small blind, and Timothy Lee defended his big blind. The flop fell Q♥A♣K♥. Ralston checked to Lee, who promptly piled in his remaining 22,500 chips.

Kim called, causing Ralston to get out of the way.

Timothy Lee: A♥9♦ All in
San Kim: J♠10♥

Kim had flopped the nuts, but Ralston turned some outs on the 7♥. The 6♣ river did not bring a heart, however, and Lee shook his head as he departed the tournament area, seeing Kim sit on a massive stack of over 400 big blinds.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ian Hapgood was all in for his final 86,000 from the cutoff, at risk against the covering stack of Brandon Estrada on the button.

Ian Hapgood: J♠J♦ All in
Brandon Estrada: A♠K♣

It was a coinflip with massive implications with almost 90 big blinds in the middle as the A♥ appeared in the window followed by the 9♠ and 7♠ as Hapgood stood up from his chair. He could not find the needed improvement on the 5♦8♠ runout as he sportingly shook his opponents' hands in a classy exit.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Carlos Erarte raised it up in the hijack and Benedetto Bianco three-bet from the cutoff. Erarte just called and the dealer fanned the flop of A♣J♥10♥. The two players quickly got all of their chips in the middle and it was Erarte at risk for around 50,000.

Carlos Erarte: J♠J♦ All in
Benedetto Bianco: A♠A♦

Both players flopped a set but it was Bianco who was in charge with his set of aces. The 4♠ and 7♦ runout did not provide Erarte with the one outer that he needed in order to stay alive.

Player	Chips	Progress
Benedetto Bianco	280,000 135,000	135,000

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Morgan Machina moved all in for 19,000 on the button. In the small blind Jason Bullock moved all in for more to see Jordan Russell fold in the big blind.

Morgan Machina: Q♣J♣ All in
Jason Bullock: A♥Q♦

The board ran out 8♣6♥5♣6♠8♦ and ace-high was good for the pot to eliminate Machina from the tournament.

Perry Gets His Wish Eventually

Christian Zetzsche

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Robert Kim raised to 5,000 with the Q♣J♦ and was called by both players in the blinds including Sean Perry in the small blind and Anton Jancaj out of the big blind with the 3♦2♦. The A♥K♣10♥ flop was checked to Kim and he bet 12,000. Perry called and Jancaj folded.

After the 7♣ turn, Perry checked again and Kim pushed all-in with the marginally covering stack.

"Jesus Christ man ... how much is it?" Perry asked more table chatter of Perry followed.

"You know why I am thinking about calling you? Because I can't lose in sports recently, I am up over a million the last couple of weeks. I am just giving you a gift," Perry concluded and called.

Sean Perry: A♣3♣ All in
Robert Kim: Q♣J♦

Perry needed a club to survive but found none on the 6♥ river to bow out in the last level of the night.

"Gee Gee buddy, couldn't have lost to a better person. Now I got my wish too and gonna get a cold shower," he said on the way out of the live stream table.

Finstein Loses Flip, Eliminated Shortly After

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Stewart Morrison

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Craig Bateman raised to 5,000 in middle position, picking up a call from the player directly to his left. Action was then on Michael Finstein, who moved all in for 79,500. Finstein then called off for his remaining 66,500, and the remaining player folded.

Craig Bateman: A♠K♦ All in
Michael Finstein: 8♣8♦

The flop 3♥A♦Q♣ moved Bateman into the lead, and when the turn 7♣ hit, Finstein stood up.

The river 7♠ secured the pot for Bateman, and Finstein started to walk away from the table. He was called back, though, as he had a slightly larger stack than his opponent and wasn't out.

Unfortunately for Finstein, though, he wasn't able to spin his 13,000 back up, as he was eliminated a few hands later.
