Cardot Doubles Through Nguyen

Level 27 : 50,000/75,000, 75,000 ante
Yannick Cardot
Yannick Cardot

Yannick Cardot opened to 625,000 from middle position, leaving himself just 25,000 behind. Albert Nguyen called out of the small blind and the big blind got out of the way to send the two players heads up to the flop.

On a flop of {6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds} Nguyen bet enough to force his opponent all in and, after glancing over his shoulder at the other table to see if there were any all-in players, Cardot called off for his tournament life.

Yannick Cardot: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Albert Nguyen: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

Cardot was way out in front and in a great spot to double up. The {4-Hearts} turn changed nothing and Cardot secured the pot on the {q-Spades} river to move back up above 1,000,000.

Eshaan Bhalla Eliminated in 19th Place ($34,903)

Level 27 : 50,000/75,000, 75,000 ante
Eshaan Bhalla
Eshaan Bhalla

Eshaan Bhalla moved all in from the hijack for 1,100,000, Jampa Dothar called on the button, and Arsenii Karmatckii moved in his 1,175,000 chips. Dothar called for the 75,000 more.

Eshaan Bhalla: {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}
Arsenii Karmatckii: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Jampa Dothar: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Bhalla was calling for a deuce for a potential triple-up, but the board ran out {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts}{4-Clubs} to keep Karmatckii's jacks in front for him to nearly triple, while Bhalla was eliminated in 19th place for $34,903.

Todd Peterson Eliminated in 20th Place ($34,903)

Level 27 : 50,000/75,000, 75,000 ante
Todd Peterson
Todd Peterson

Picking up the action on the turn, Todd Peterson in the small blind was involved in a hand with Mohammad Siddiqui in the big blind and Daniel Smiljkovic in middle position. With the board reading {q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} Peterson moved all in for 950,000. Siddiqui made the call with the bigger stack while Smiljkovic folded.

Todd Peterson: {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Mohammad Siddiqui: {7-Spades}{6-Spades}

Peterson was in bad shape, needing a queen, jack or nine to find its way onto the river. It did not happen, with the {2-Diamonds} completing the board and sending Peterson out in 20th place, a result good for $34,903.

Greenstein Comes to Karmatckii's Rescue

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Arsenii Karmatckii
Arsenii Karmatckii

Diego Sanchez opened to 125,000 from middle position and action folded to Arsenii Karmatckii in the big blind, who moved all in for 375,000. Sanchez made the call to put Karmatckii at risk.

Arsenii Karmatckii: {a-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}
Diego Sanchez: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

Karmatckii was in trouble and got up out of his seat before the flop had even been dealt. He found no help on the {2-Hearts}{10-Spades}{q-Diamonds} flop or {7-Clubs} turn. His tournament run was not destined to come to an end just yet though, with the {a-Diamonds} finding its way onto the river, prompting Arsenii to retake his seat.

Jacky Wang Eliminated in 21st Place ($30,483)

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Jacky Wang
Jacky Wang

Ankush Mandavia opened to 120,000 in the cutoff, Jacky Wang flatted on the button, and James Romero raised to 600,000 in the small blind. Mandavia folded, Wang got his approximately 2,500,000 chips in, and Romero quickly put the chips in to put Wang at risk.

Jacky Wang: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
James Romero: {a-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}

Wang ran jacks into aces in a seemingly unavoidable cooler, and the {8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop changed nothing. The {10-Hearts} turn gave Wang a flush draw, but the {10-Diamonds} completed the board to keep Romero's rockets in front, eliminating Wang in 21st place for $30,483.

Michael Rossitto Eliminated in 22nd Place ($30,483)

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Michael Rossitto
Michael Rossitto

With roughly 500,000 in the pot on a {k-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Spades}{10-Spades} board, Mohammad Siddiqui bet 300,000 in the hijack, Daniel Smiljkovic called in the small blind, and Michael Rossitto moved all in for 1,440,000 in the big blind. Siddiqui called and Smiljkovic folded.

Michael Rossitto: {7-Spades}{4-Spades}
Mohammad Siddiqui: {j-Spades}{9-Spades}

Rossitto ran right into Siddiqui's superior flush and got up from his seat before the meaningless {2-Diamonds} completed the board, eliminating Rossitto in 22nd place for $30,483.

Mike Allen Eliminated in 23rd Place ($30,483)

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Mike Allen
Mike Allen

Picking up the action on the turn, Mike Allen in early position was involved in a hand with Stephan Nussrallah out of the big blind. With the board reading {3-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} Nussrallah moved all in and, after a moments hesitation, Allen called off for his tournament life.

Mike Allen: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Stephan Nussrallah: {7-Spades}{3-Hearts}

Though it was not entirely clear what order the board had been dealt, it is likely that Nussrallah had flopped a two pair that had been counterfeited on the turn, giving Allen the better two pair. As a result, heading to the river Allen was in a good spot to get the double. The {7-Clubs} rolled off the deck, however, improving Nussrallah to a full house and sending Allen home in brutal fashion.

Sami Shurbaji Eliminated in 24th Place ($26,716)

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Sami Shurbaji
Sami Shurbaji

Sami Shurbaji was short-stacked to start the day with only a couple of big blinds and had gotten his stack in earlier in this hand from the hijack. On a completed board of {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts}, Daniel Smiljkovic bet in the big blind, Lorenzo Lavis jammed on the button, and Smiljkovic called.

Shurbaji showed {k-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, but it was no good against Smiljkovic's {10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, and even more so against Lavis' {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs} boat. Shurbaji made his way to the payout desk, while Lavis secured the double.

Kashihara Enjoys Dream Start

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Yuki Kashihara
Yuki Kashihara

Stephan Nussrallah limped from under the gun and action folded around to James Romero in the small blind, who also limped. The dealer then thought Yuki Kashihara checked his option out of the big blind and pulled the chips into the middle. Kashihara objected and the chips were pushed back out of the pot, at which point Kashihara announced all in for 1,295,000. Nussrallah gave his decision some thought before making the call with the covering stack and attempted to turn over his cards before the table as a whole pointed out that there was still live action with Romero. Romero folded and Kashihara was officially at risk.

Yuki Kashihara: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Stephan Nussrallah: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

Though at risk, Kashihara was in a good spot to get the double up. He fell behind, however, on the {7-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop but did pick up an open ender. That draw came in immediately on the {6-Clubs} turn and the {k-Hearts} river completed the board to send the pot Kashihara's way, getting him off to a dream start early on Day 3.
