It appears everyone really wants to make the final table as action has severly slowed down. We are experiencing a lot of limp pots that lead no where and a lot of blind stealing. However we were able to find one hand that just happened.
It was battle of the blinds between Emil Patel in the small blind and Stephen Wolfe in the big blind. There were no raises so both players got to see the flop. It was here that Patel put out a bet of 12,000, Wolfe made the call fairly quickly and it was off to the turn.
On fourth street we saw the and with it a 32,000 bet from Patel, that was again called, but this time after a few moments of contemplation.
A river led to Patel checking, and Wolfe toying with the idea of a bet for a few minutes. Eventually Wolfe decided just to check and cards were turned over. Patel showed {J} for a pair of queens and aces. Wolfe never showed and simply just mucked his cards.
Timothy Seidensticker raised to 45,000 from middle position and Elie Payan announced "re-pot" to force Seidensticker all-in. He quickly made the call with and we were off to the flop. Payan held the and would need help to overcome Seidensticker's aces.
The board ran out and that help arrived in the form of a runner-runner flush. Seidensticker is out in 16th place and will pocket $10,757 for his run.
Richard Rinker reraised all-in for his last 83,000 and Rafe Kibrit made the call to put him at risk. Rinker tabled the and Kibrit held the .
The final board read and Kibrit's straight was enough to send Rinker to the rail. He will pocket $10,757 for his run through more than 1,000 runners in this tournament
We caught the action with the flop reading as Quinn Do was all-in and Elie Payan made the call. Do flipped up his for top pair, an open ended straight draw, and a four flush.
Payan held the for top two pair, a dead flush draw a variety of straight draws. The turn came 3c} and nothing changed. The river fell and Do was astounded that he missed every one of his many outs. Do hit the rail in 16th place and earned $13,243 for his work today.
We had four players seeing a flop of and it was the super short stacked Nathan Gamble who moved all in for 18,000. He received two callers Stephen Wolfe, and Juha Vilkke.
Wolfe and Vilkke seemingly conceded the hand as they checked down the turn and the river. Cards were turned at it was "The Other Guy's" that was the winner with a straight.
In a raised pot we found Cody Munger and David Sands fighting it out on the a board. After a series of betting Munger moved all in and Sands call. Cards were then tabled at it was Sands who was ahead.
David Sands:
Cody Munger:
Sands had a pair of aces and was ahead of Munger's pair of kings and flush draw. We still had a river to go though and it was one Sands would like to run twice as a rolled off the deck. Munger won the hand with a flush and has essentially crippled Sands.
