Vinay Boob

With the action unopened ahead of him, Vinay Boob moved all in for 72,000,000 from the cutoff. Thomas Hall gave it plenty of consideration in the big blind before opting to call.

Vinay Boob: AK All in
Thomas Hall: 66

Vinay was left unimproved across the 72324 board, seeing his deep run come to an end in sixth place.

David Baker Eliminated in 7th Place ($176,000)

Level 46 : Blinds 4,000,000/8,000,000, 8,000,000 ante
David "ODB" Baker
David "ODB" Baker

Action folded to David Baker on the button who moved all in for 42,500,000. Dominik Panka in the big blind checked his cards and then did some math, double checked his cards again and made the call.

David Baker: A7 All in
Dominik Panka: QJ

Not the best of flops for Baker of 74J but he still had outs to stay alive. The 2 turn changed nothing and when the 3 bricked out the river Baker was sent to the cage in seventh place.

Lombardozzi Gets Tricky

Level 45 : Blinds 3,000,000/6,000,000, 6,000,000 ante

Thomas Hall raised to 12,000,000 under the gun, which both Leo Lombardozzi and Brian Smith called from the hijack and the big blind.

Hall continued for 9,000,000 on a 10J6 flop, which Lombardozzi called before Smith check-folded.

Hall switched tactics and checked on the 6 turn, but called when Lombardozzi bet 23,000,000.

The 4 completed the board, and the action checked through.

Lombardozzi tabled AA, and Hall mucked his hand.

Hall Gets a Double

Level 45 : Blinds 3,000,000/6,000,000, 6,000,000 ante
Thomas Hall
Thomas Hall

Brian Smith made it 15,000,000 to play from early position only for Thomas Hall to three-bet to 60,000,000 from the next seat. Action was then on Matthew Higgins in the next seat who four-bet all in and had the tabled covered. Smith got out of the way quicker than a cheetah on caffeine and Hall snap-called to put himself at risk.

Thomas Hall: 99 All in
Matthew Higgins: AK

A clean flop for Hall of 1048 and when the Q peeled off on the turn he was nearly home and dry. The 6 brick river sealed the deal and Hall was sent the pot for a double-up.

Crazy Eights for Lombardozzi Get Him a Double

Leo Lombardozzi
Leo Lombardozzi

Brian Smith raised to 15,000,000 from the hijack and action folded to Leo Lombardozzi in the small blind who three-bet all in for 44,500,000. Action was back on Smith who snap-called.

Leo Lombardozzi: 88 All in
Brian Smith: JJ

Just the flop Lombardozzi ordered of 1048 came and he soared into the lead. The 7 turn gave Smith some additional re-draw outs but the A river wasn't one of them and Lombardozzi was shipped the pot for a double-up.

Rails Erupts as Smiths Hold To Double

Level 45 : Blinds 3,000,000/6,000,000, 6,000,000 ante
Brian Smith
Brian Smith

When the action folded to Dominik Panka in the small blind, he moved all in, putting pressure on the shorter stack of Brian Smith in the big blind.

"We've got to defend," Smith announced as he committed his 66,500,000 into the middle.

Brian Smith: A2 All in
Dominik Panka: 103

Neither player connected on the 597JK board, much to the delight of Smith and his raucous rail, as his ace-high remained the best hand.

Once the celebrations were complete, Smith sat back down with a fresh double-up in front of him.

Matthew Higgins raised from the hijack to 12,500,000, only for Imre Makranyi to three-bet all in from the cutoff for 65,000,000.

Action came back to Higgins who double checked the count before he made the call to put Makranyi at risk.

Imre Makranyi: 88 All in
Matthew Higgins: 99

No help for Makranyi on the 4Q5Q6 run out and he was sent to the rail in eighth place.

Higgins picked up an additional $10,000 bounty for the elimination to go along with Makranyi's 65,000,000 chips.
