Ankush Mandavia Eliminated by John Richards

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Ankush Mandavia
Ankush Mandavia

With over 1,000 in the middle and the board reading {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, John Richards checked in the big blind. Ankush Mandavia bet 700 under the gun, and Richards called.

The turn was the {9-Spades}, and Richards checked again. Mandavia bet 1,350 this time, and Richards check-called again.

On the {3-Clubs} river, Richards checked for the third time, and Mandavia got a look at Richards' stack. He bet 3,500, and Richards moved all in, putting Mandavia to an all-in decision for his remaining 4,050 chips.

Mandavia smiled and looked at Richards. "I just ordered my meal, too," Mandavia joked. He shook his head uncomfortably and, after a few minutes, put forward his remaining chips to call.

Richards tabled {10-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for tens full of threes on the river, and Mandavia showed {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for trip tens, no good on the end. Mandavia is out, and Richards is now up around three times the starting stack.

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

We got to the table to see the player in the cutoff position being all in for a small side pot and the players on the button, small blind and Ryan Leng in the big blind still vying for the main pot.

The flop came {5-Spades}{8-Clubs}{K-Spades}, all three players checked. The turn brought the {A-Hearts}. The player in the small blind bet 1,100, Leng raised to 3,000 and the other two players folded.

Leng showed the {8-Spades}{5-Clubs} for two pair, and the all-in player showed {10-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and grabbed his belongings as he was drawing dead.

Vinny Pahuja

With the board reading {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and around 3,500 in the pot, Vinny Pahuja checked in the cutoff and his opponent on the button checked back.

The river was the {5-Spades} and Pahuja checked again. His opponent bet 3,000 this time and Pahuja called. His opponent slid his cards face down into the muck and Pahuja took the pot without showing. He is now among the chip leaders in the room.

At a nearby table, Matt Affleck is also building a big stack early in the day.

Bracelet Winner Grant Hinkle Eliminated

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

On a board of {Q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and with around 6,000 in the pot, Grant Hinkle checked from under the gun. Bill Patten bet 2,500 in the cutoff and Hinkle moved all in for 4,400. Patten called and Hinkle was at risk.

Grant Hinkle: {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}
Bill Patten: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}

Hinkle was in bad shape with queens and fives against the aces and fives of Patten, and the {6-Spades} river couldn't save him. The bracelet winner hit the rail here in Level 3.
