Christopher Vitch completed, and Ron Ware raised. Vitch called. Ware then bet every street, with Vitch calling him down. Vitch showed for two pair, queens and sevens, and that was good enough to take down the pot.
Shaun Deeb, Wendy Freedman, and Matt Grapenthien all made it to the seventh street. Deeb bet both fourth and fifth streets, and Freedman bet sixth. Deeb bet seventh street, and Freedman called. Grapenthien, however, woke up with a raise this time, and that wasn't exactly what Deeb wished for. He shook his head, saying the f-word a couple of times, indicating he had a tough call to make. He eventually did call, and Freedman folded.
Grapenthien didn't need to show his hand, as Deeb opened / / for the winner. "That would be a perfect slowroll for you to make," Deeb joked with Grapenthien, who couldn't oblige.
On the river of a board, big blind Vladimir Shchemelev checked to Joseph Couden, his next-door neighbor on the left. Couden bet a pile of yellow chips worth 1,000 apiece, making it about 20,000.
Shchemelev moved all in, which was about the same amount as the bet. Couden didn't even bother with the precise counts, and without saying, "Call," opened to knock out Shchemelev with a straight. Shchemelev mucked, and while the dealer turned over his cards for a moment, it didn't matter at that point.
Shaun Deeb called with the , and Wendy Freedman completed with the . Dustin Sitar came along with the , and Deeb also called.
Sitar gave up on the fifth street, but Deeb and Freedman continued battling. Freedman went bet-bet-bet-bet, and Deeb called on all occasions with one exception. He raised on the seventh street. Freedman paid but couldn't get a piece of the large pot, as Deeb scooped it with a flush and an eighty-seven low.
Less than two hours ago, Scott Bohlman was approaching 150,000 chips, and his stack put him among the tournament leaders. He's now about 100,000 shorter. His recent loss emerged in a pot against Andrey Zhigalov.
There was roughly 35,000 already in the middle when the two saw a flop. Zhigalov checked from under the gun, leaving the action to his rival. Bohlman, on the button, bet 8,500, and Zhigalov check-raised to 20,500. Bohlman asked how much it was, but he was ultimately unwilling to continue.
Shaun Deeb opened the button to 4,500, and small blind Wendy Freedman moved all in for 32,400. The action returned to Deeb, who asked for a count and then called.
Freedman:
Deeb:
Freedman's hand remained ahead of Deeb's all the way through the board, and she scored a double-up. Deeb, despite handing over some of his chips to the last female left in the field, is still maneuvering a big stack.
Scott Bohlman's stack was suffering for the majority of the last two levels, and he would never recover. In his last hand, Bohlman faced off with Christopher Vitch as they were dealt and , respectively.
Bohlman check-raised on fourth street, and Vitch put him all in with a three-bet.
Bohlman: / /
Vitch: / /
Bohlman had a pair of kings on the fifth street but Vitch improved to a pair of aces at the same time. Vitch eventually spiked a wheel to seal Bohlman's exit.
