Vitaly Lunkin raised to 120,000 with Barry Greenstein and Josh Arieh calling from the blinds. The flop came 962. Greenstein and Arieh both checked to Lunkin, who fired out a bet of 200,000. Greenstein check raised to 800,000 and Arieh quickly folded. Lunkin went into the tank for a few minutes before finally announcing all-in, having Greenstein covered. Greenstein made the quick call and exposed the 9785 for a wrap and a flush draw. Lunkin exposed the AA87, for the best hand at the moment. Lunkin had only a 25 percent chance to win however, against the massive drawing hand of Greenstein. The turn was the Q, offering Greenstein no help. The 3 fell on the river and the 3-time bracelet winner missed all of his draws, going to the rail first at the final table. Lunkin is now up to 2,660,000 in chips and looks poised to become a double bracelet winner this year.

Richard Austin Eliminated In 8th Place ($88,681)

Vitaly Lunkin raised in early position to 120,000 and Richard Austin made the call from the big blind. The flop came A65 and Austin bet out 120,000.

Lunkin tabled the KK42 for a pair of kings, the nut flush draw and a straight draw to boot. Lunkin was a 2-1 favorite to win the hand as the J hit the turn. The dealer pealed off the 8 on the river, nailing Austin’s straight but giving the Event No. 2 ($40,000 no-limit hold’em) champion a flush. Austin was sent home early after another strong showing in PLO.

Josh Arieh Eliminated In 7th Place ($99,856)

Josh Arieh got the rest of his shorter stack in the middle with the AA49. He was called by Ferit Gabriellson who tabled the KK310. The flop came KQ10, giving Gabriellson a set and putting Arieh on the brink. The J hit the turn, giving Arieh some light with a flush draw, but unfortunately his opponent also held two clubs in his hand. The K fell on the river, making quads for Gabriellson and eliminating Arieh. Gabriellson is now up to 1,200,000.

Medic Loses Minimum With Top Set

After a preflop raise, David Williams, Nenad Medic and a third player saw a flop of A29. David Williams led out for 6500 and was called by Nenad Medic. The third player got out of the way and they saw the turn heads-up.

The turn card was the 8 and both players checked. The river card was the 10 and both players checked again. Williams showed J1044, which meant he had flopped a flush, and Medic mucked his hand, but not before revealing two aces in his hand, showing that he had flopped top set.

Ferit Gabriellson Eliminates Ben Grundy

The biggest pot of the tournament thus far took place on a board of K7105 between Ben Grundy and Ferit Gabriellson. All of the money got in and Grundy said “If you’ve got a set, you’ve got me.”

Gabriellson tabled KKA3, which was ahead of Grundy’s KQQ10. Grundy needed to hit a diamond to stay alive, but the 8 on the river sent Grundy home.

Gabriellson now has over 500,000 in chips.

Lederer Flops Two Pair, Wins Small Pot

Howard Lederer is heads-up with his opponent on a flop of K65. Lederer opted to call 9500 on the flop and they see the 9 fall on the turn.

Both players checked to see a free river card, which was the 7. Both players checked again and Howard announced that he had two pair. His opponent then turned over K5 from his hand, but Howard turned over K6AQ, good for a better two pair and the pot.

Medic Loses Minimum With Top Set

After a preflop raise, David Williams, Nenad Medic and a third player saw a flop of A29. David Williams led out for 6500 and was called by Nenad Medic. The third player got out of the way and they saw the turn heads-up.

The turn card was the 8 and both players checked. The river card was the 10 and both players checked again. Williams showed J1044, which meant he had flopped a flush, and Medic mucked his hand, but not before revealing two aces in his hand, showing that he had flopped top set.

Ferit Gabriellson Eliminates Ben Grundy

The biggest pot of the tournament thus far took place on a board of K7105 between Ben Grundy and Ferit Gabriellson. All of the money got in and Grundy said “If you’ve got a set, you’ve got me.”

Gabriellson tabled KKA3, which was ahead of Grundy’s KQQ10. Grundy needed to hit a diamond to stay alive, but the 8 on the river sent Grundy home.

Gabriellson now has over 500,000 in chips.
