Boyapati Wins a Small One

Kyle Cartwright raised to 120,000 on the button and received a call from Asheesh Boyapati in the big blind. Both players then checked the {J-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop and the {J-Diamonds} was put out on the turn.

Boyapati check-called a bet of 135,000 from Cartwright and both players proceeded to check the {J-Hearts} river. Boyapati showed {A-Spades}{10-Clubs} and it was good as Cartwright simply mucked.

Another Double for Segni

Level 28 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Ron Segni raised to 95,000 under the gun only to have Kyle Cartwright move all in from the big blind. Segni called off for a total of 250,000 and the cards were revealed:

Segni: {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}
Cartwright: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}

It was another race situation as the flop came down {2-Clubs}{K-Spades}{5-Spades}. While Segni had the best hand with pocket fours, Cartwright's two overs and flush draw made him a favorite in the hand. Luckily for Segni, the {8-Diamonds} turn and {J-Hearts} river blanked and he doubled to right around 500,000. Cartwright is still the massive chip leader with 6.3 million.

All In and a Chop

Level 28 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

We know chop pots aren't all that exciting, so we'll spare you the details. Just know we did have an all in and a call at the Main Event final table. Other than that, things have been relatively quiet as the remaining four players feel out one another.

Segni Hits an Ace

Level 28 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Phil Stelzer made a standard raise on the button and and Ron Segni called from the big blind, leaving himself just 62,000 behind. When the flop fell {4-Spades}{a-Spades}{7-Spades}, Segni shipped that remaining 62K and Stelzer made the call.

Stelzer: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}
Segni: {A-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}

Segni had hit his ace to take the lead. The {9-Diamonds} turn and {7-Clubs} river ensured his double, though he is still short with 375,000. Meanwhile, Stelzer took a small hit down to 900,000.

The Rich Get Richer

Level 28 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Kyle Cartwright raised to 85,000 on the button and received a call from Asheesh Boyapati in the big blind, leading to a flop of {K-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. Boyapati checked, Cartwrighti bet 115,000, and Boyapati called. The dealer proceeded to burn and turn the {4-Spades}, which both players checked.

When the {K-Spades} peeled off on the river, Boyapati bet 115,000 and Cartwright called. The Boyapati turned over {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts} but it was no good as Cartwright showed {5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. Boyapati dropped to 1.9 million while Cartwright is up to 5.2 million.
