Shaw Eliminated by Holtzman

Christian Zetzsche

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Guy Holtzman raised to 60,000 and earned one caller in Yulian Bogdanov from the very next seat. Carl Shaw then jammed his last 445,000 from the cutoff and all active players behind folded. Holtzman announced all-in himself and first cut out the 445,000 of Shaw, which left approximately another 305,000 behind.

Bogdanov mulled it over for a few seconds and folded.

Carl Shaw: Q♣J♣ All in
Guy Holtzman: A♥Q♥

The K♠6♠5♠ flop changed nothing since neither player had a spade in their hand. Shaw picked up a gutshot with the 9♥ turn but the 2♠ river sealed his fate.

Gardes Sank by Montes

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Santiago Montes raised to 65,000 from early position and Josselin Gardes defended from the big blind.

The flop came 9♣2♣4♦ and after Gardes checked, Montes bet 50,000. Gardes then shoved for 210,000, and Montes quickly called.

Josselin Gardes: 10♣3♣ All in
Santiago Montes: A♣K♣

Gardes was drawing slim, and even slimmer when the A♥ landed on the turn. Only a five on the river could keep Gardes alive, but the 6♦ wasn't what he needed, which ended his Main Event run.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Zarvan Tumboli made it 60,000 under the gun and only Alex Lynskey called from the next seat.

The dealer spread out a flop of K♠6♠10♣ and Tumboli bet 80,000. Lynskey flicked in the call.

The Q♠ appeared on the turn and Tumboli fired out 125,000 into the middle. Lynskey took a few moments before calling again.

When the 4♥ came on the river Tumboli bet just one big blind. Lynskey quickly called, and then mucked after Tumboli turned over A♠K♣ for top pair top kicker.

Adam Lamers

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The action folded to Rohit Mariwalla in the small blind who just limped in. Andy Wilson checked his big blind and the flop came Q♠J♥2♦. Both players checked and the 9♣ landed on the turn.

Mariwalla checked again and Wilson flicked in a bet of 50,000. Mariwalla called and the 3♥ completed the board. Mariwalla checked once more and Wilson counted out a large bet of 350,000.

Mariwalla asked for three minutes to think and he nearly used all of it before making the call. Wilson turned over 10♥8♣ for a straight and Mariwalla paid him off.

The chips went in preflop over on table 647 and Benji Tustin was the player at risk and up against his table neighbour Brandon Wong.

Benji Tustin: A♦Q♥ All in
Brandon Wong: A♣K♦

The kicker played a crucial role on the J♦10♦4♦6♣10♥ board as Tustin failed to improve and joined the rail close to the dinner break on Day 5.

The 8♠ river completed the board and Minghini bet 150,000. Blom laid it down.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Fabrice Bigot was in middle position and raised to 65,000. Joey Padron called on the button, and called Bigot's continuation-bet of 50,000 on the 6♣A♦K♣ flop as well.

Bigot slowed down on the 8♠ turn, checking before calling Padron's bet of 115,000. The 7♦ river was quickly checked to showdown.

Bigot tabled A♠10♠ for a pair of aces. Padron had the same pair, but his A♣3♣ was outkicked and disappeared into the muck.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Rahul Rastogi raised to 60,000 with 8♦8♣ from middle position and Damien Luis called in the big blind with K♦5♥.

The flop came Q♥10♦5♣ and Luis check-called a bet of 45,000 from Rastogi to the Q♣ turn, where again Luis checked. Rastogi fired 105,000, and Luis called.

A 5♦ on the river gave Luis a full house and he led out for 180,000. Around two minutes passed before Rastogi finally decided to fold, and Luis took down the pot.
