Pedro Ingles raised it up from the hijack and Mark Zajdner called from the big blind. The flop came {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and Zajdner check-called a bet of 105,000 from Ingles.

The turn brought the {q-Diamonds} and Zajdner checked again. Ingles put together a bet of 145,000 and Zajdner instantly mucked.

On the next hand, Orestis Kanakopoulos opened to 160,000 in the hijack and Zajdner shipped all in for just over 1,000,000 in the small blind. Kanakopoulos quickly folded and Zajdner stopped the bleeding.

Michael Rossitto: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Michael Dyer: {k-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

The board ran out {a-Spades}{q-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and the nine on turn locked up the hand for Rossitto to score the almost triple up and send Sullivan to the exit in 18th place.

Rossitto Doubles Again

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Michael Rossitto opened to 165,000 from the cutoff and Cliff Ziff made the call in the small blind. Joseph Sabe raised to 465,000 in the big blind and Rossitto moved all in for 1,300,000. Ziff quickly got out of the way and Sabe snap-called with a bigger stack.

Michael Rossitto: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Joseph Sabe: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Sabe was in great shape to send Rossitto to the rail, but when the board ran out {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{4-Spades}, it was the turned ace that saved the day for Rossitto to double up off of Sabe.

The action folded to Cliff Ziff in the hijack who opened to 225,000 and Joseph Sabe moved all in for just over 1,800,000 next to act. The rest of the table got out of the way and Ziff called to put Sabe at risk.

Joseph Sabe: {a-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Cliff Ziff: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

Sabe was in need of help against the better ace for Ziff, and when the board ran out {q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{4-Clubs}{5-Spades}, it was the ace-jack that scored the pot and sent Sabe to the payout desk in 17th place.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Michael Dyer opened to 160,000 from early position and Michael Stembera put in a three-bet to 380,000 next to act. Zachary Donovan made the call in the hijack and it folded back to Dyer who tossed in chips for the call as well.

On the {k-Spades} turn both players slowed down with a check to the {j-Diamonds} river. Stembera took some time before sliding out a bet of 525,000 and Donovan quickly made the call.

Stembera rolled over {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} for the best over pair but was no good when Donovan tabled {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} for the rivered set to take down the large pot.

Orestis Kanakopoulos
Orestis Kanakopoulos

Andrew Esposito opened to 180,000 in middle position and Orestis Kanakopoulos three-bet to 550,000 on the button. Esposito called and the dealer fanned the flop of {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. Esposito checked to Kanakopoulos who bet 350,000. Esposito check-raised to 1,250,000 and Kanakopoulos called.

The {2-Hearts} peeled off on the turn and Esposito checked again. Kanakopoulos jammed all in for 1,635,000 which put Esposito in the tank. The hand was already eight minutes long and Mark Zajdner had enough as he called the clock once again. Esposito was granted another minute before the clock started. In the last couple of seconds, Esposito flicked in a chip to call as the entire table rose to their feet.

Esposito turned over {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} while Kanakopoulos needed some help with {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}. The river was the {8-Clubs} and Esposito clapped his hands together while others congratulated him on the call. Kanakopoulos was eliminated, bringing the field down to just 15 players.
