Piccioli Doubles Through Oliveira

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante
Bryan Piccioli
Bryan Piccioli

Pedro Oliveira opened from the button with a raise to 525,000. Bryan Piccioli was next to act, and he three-bet, making it 1,555,000. Action was back on Oliveira, and he moved all it. At lightning speed, Piccioli announced a call and plopped a stack of his chips into the middle.

Oliviera: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Piccioli: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}

"I didn't suck out the entire tournament," Oliveira said, standing up from his chair. "I ask for my one time now. I don't know. I might flop a straight. I feel pretty confident."

The flop came down {K-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades}, keeping Oliveira live, at least for the time being. The turn was the {4-Spades}, and Oliveira could only river a king to steal away the pot. But the river was the {5-Hearts}, and that sealed the double up for Piccioli, who was all in for 7,375,000 and doubled to over 15 million.

Michael Krasienko Continues the Comeback

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Michael Krasienko raised to 600,000 under the gun, Joshua Horton called in the cutoff, and Richard Gryko called in the big blind. The flop came {J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{A-Spades}, and Gryko checked. Krasienko continued for 1,000,000, and both of his opponents folded.

Krasienko dragged the pot, continuing to chip up after being one of the shortest stacks just a little while ago.

Hesp Takes About Half of Ott's Stack

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Dan Ott raised to 550,000 from middle position, John Hesp three-bet to 1,200,000 from the small blind, and Ott called.

The flop came down {9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, and Hesp bet 1,500,000. Ott called, and the turn was the {7-Spades}. Hesp bet 2,000,000, and Ott called. The {Q-Spades} river completed the board, and Hesp bet 2,000,000 again. Ott called.

Hesp tabled {Q-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for top two pair, Ott mucked, and Hesp collected the pot.

Mackoff Leaves Sklenicka Short

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Jonas Mackoff raised to 525,000 from the cutoff, and Michael Sklenicka called in the big blind.

Both players checked the {Q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop, and the {9-Clubs} fell on the turn. Sklenicka bet 800,000, and Mackoff called before the {7-Spades} river completed the board. Sklenicka checked, and Mackoff bet 1,500,000, which the Czech called.

Mackoff rolled over {Q-Spades}{9-Spades} for queens and nines, while Sklenicka open-mucked {Q-Hearts}{10-Spades} for top pair.

Joshua Horton Eliminated in 28th Place ($214,913)

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante
Joshua Horton
Joshua Horton

Jack Sinclair raised to 575,000 on the button. Joshua Horton was in the big blind and defended.

The flop was {4-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, and Horton led for what appeared to be 900,000. Sinclair called, and the turn was the {9-Hearts}. Horton got his remaining chips into the middle, which appeared to be about 6,015,000, and Sinclair called.

Jack Sinclair: {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Joshua Horton: {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

Horton would have to hit a two-out straight flush if he was going to survive, but the river was the {5-Spades}.

Horton was eliminated in 28th place, ending the day's play at the three-table redraw.
