Eliminations Before the Break

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Ferrari Takes Small Hit

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Vijay Yadav moved all in with his last 1,900,000 from the cutoff. Neal Anderson, who had slightly more than that, did likewise from the small blind.

Table chip leader Alex Ferrari made the call looking for a double knockout.

Vijay Yadav: K7All in
Neal Anderson: 22All in
Alex Ferrari: A5

Anderson's deuces held on the flop, but were overtaken by Ferrari on the turn and Yadav on the river in a runout of 3J105K.

It was a small dent for Ferrari, but Yadav left with three times the stack with which he began the hand.

Bad Beat!

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

A player opened under the to 600,000, Nitis Udornpim on his direct left three-bet to 1,800,000, Peter Li on the button four-bet shoved for 4,700,000, the player under the gun folded and Udornpim called.

Peter Li: AK All in
Nitis Udornpim: AK

The flop came 349, the 6 turn gave Li an opportunity to scoop the pot, and Udornpim was clearly distressed as the 5 was dealt on the river giving Li an Ace-high flush.

Chun Wins 'El Clásico'

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Following a Philip Chun under-the-gun open, Damion Norton jammed his remaining 2,600,000. Chun called and flipped over big slick.

Damion Norton: QQ All in
Philip Chun: AK

Norton's ladies couldn't hold up against Chun's flopped ace, with the AJ756 board sending him to the payouts desk.

Dominguez Overcomes the Odds

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Jason Machtinger was the first all-in from middle position with 1,200,000 chips. Jorge Dominguez came over the top with 3,450,000 from the seat next to him.

Brownie Garrett, who had the biggest stack, made the call from the small blind before Wayne Leonard folded.

Jason Machtinger: A10All in
Jorge Dominguez: A6All in
Brownie Garrett: AQ

Dominguez started from behind but jumped to the front in the three-ace race, with the flop 758 giving him a flush draw as well as open-ended straight draw.

It didn't take long to come home, as the J on the turn locked up the hand, rendering the K river meaningless.
