Richard Tuhrim Eliminated in 68th Place ($101,444)

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Richard Tuhrim
Richard Tuhrim

Just before the break, Richard Tuhrim got the rest of his 2,015,000 chips all in from the small blind and Mike Linster had him at risk in the big blind. The cards were tabled, and Tuhrim was behind.

Tuhrim: {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Linster: {A-Spades}{J-Spades}

The board came {Q-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{A-Diamonds}, giving both players a pair of aces, but Linster with the best kicker. The {2-Diamonds} turn changed nothing, and neither did the {7-Spades} river.

Tuhrim was eliminated in 68th place, taking home a payday of $101,444 for his run in the Main Event.

Joseph Dipascale Eliminated in 69th Place ($101,444)

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Joseph Dipascale
Joseph Dipascale

Jack Sinclair raised to 200,000 from under the gun and Joseph Dipascale three-bet to 600,000 from two seats over. Once the action was on Michael Krasienko in the big blind, he moved all in and that forced a fold from Sinclair. Dipascale called all in for 3,285,000 and the camera crews rushed by to record the showdown.

Dipascale: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Krasienko: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}

The {A-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop destroyed all hope of a comeback for Dipascale, and he was drawing dead on the {3-Spades} turn, making the {10-Diamonds} river a formality. Dipascale had to settle for 69th place and a payday of $101,444 while Krasienko moved up to almost 10 million in chips.

Set for Dwek

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

While the Jonas Mackoff double-up was happening, another big pot was brewing at the table next to them. Jonathan Dwek and Jesus Blanco were heads up on a board showing {A-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. Blanco checked to Dwek who bet out 430,000. Blanco called, and the {9-Hearts} completed the board.

Blanco checked again, and Dwek bet out 1.13 million. Blanco immediately rechecked his cards, then dropped a chip in for the call. He was forced to muck though when Dwek tabled {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} for a set of deuces. That pushed Dwek up to nearly 7.5 million.

Crivello Check-Raises the Turn

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Action folded around to [Removed:508] in the small blind and he decided to limp in. Christian Pham was in the big blind and immediately raised to 380,000. Crivello called, practically beating him into the pot.

The flop came {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and Crivello checked. Pham bet 175,000 and Crivello quickly called.

The turn was the {2-Hearts}. Crivello checked again and Pham bet 475,000 this time. Crivello wasted no time and check-raised to 1,200,000. Pham went into the tank long enough for another player at the table to call the clock. Pham waved his hands, indicating there was no need for that, and folded a few seconds later.

Nahum's Aces Cracked

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Kfir Nahum bet 400,000 from the small blind on {7-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. Jack Sinclair made it 1.2 million from middle position, and Nahum snap-called before he even asked how much the raise was for. On the {4-Clubs} river, Sinclair bet 1.5 million and Nahum called. Sinclair tabled {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for two pair, and Nahum mucked {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} face up in frustration.

Gibson Takes From Hallaert

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Kenny Hallaert was under the gun and raised to 175,000. Sean Gibson called in late position and Michael Ruane called in the small blind taking the action three-way to the flop.

The flop was {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and Ruane checked. Hallaert reached back and bet 250,000. Gibson took a minute and then raised to 650,000. Ruane folded and, after some thought, Hallaert called.

The turn was the {6-Clubs} and Hallaert checked. Gibson fired out 800,000, sending Hallaert into the tank. After a couple of minutes and right as the break approached, Hallaert elected to fold.
