$1K: Gonzalo Pelaez Eliminated by Mike Graffeo 6o3a

$1,100 Big 4 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
$500,000 Guaranteed | Payouts
Level 26: 25,000/50,000 with a 50,000 ante
Players Remaining: 10 of 640

Gonzalo Pelaez

Gonzalo Pelaez moved all in for 510,000 from the hijack and Mike Graffeo isolated by three-betting all in over the top from the cutoff. The rest of the players folded and it was a flip.

Pelaez: 7d7c
Graffeo: AhQd

Pelaez held on the 2hKd4d and 10s flop, but then the Qh spiked on the river to put an end to his run in 11th place.

Mike Graffeo – 1,750,000 (35 bb)
Gonzalo Pelaez – Eliminated in 11th place for $9,888

$1K: Dennis Rodriguez Doubles Through Chance Kornuth p172w

$500,000 Guaranteed | Payouts
Level 24: 15,000/30,000 with a 30,000 ante
Players Remaining: 19 of 640

Dennis Rodriguez

Nick Pupillo opened for 70,000 from the cutoff only to have Chance Kornuth three-bet all in for 600,000 from the button. As Dennis Rodriguez was debating what to do in the big blind, Pupillo folded his hand, which would earn him a one orbit penalty.

Eventually, Rodriguez called off for 340,000 and it was off to the races.

Rodriguez: 5d5c
Kornuth: Ah6h

The board ran out QhQd8s2d7c and Rodriguez doubled through Kornuth, who was none too pleased with Pupillo folding out of turn.

Meanwhile, Michael Laake was eliminated from the tournament in 20th place.

Dennis Rodriguez – 800,000 (27 bb)
Chance Kornuth – 260,000 (9 bb)

$1,100 Big 4 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
$500,000 Guaranteed | Payouts
Level 22: 10,000/20,000 with a 20,000 ante
Players Remaining: 20 of 640

Chance Kornuth opened for 40,000 under the gun and Robert Suer moved all in for 260,000 from the cutoff. Rober Salmon then jammed for 330,000 from the button before the player in the small blind also moved in for 600,000. Kornuth got out of the way.

Suer: AsAh
Salmon: JcJd
Small Blind: 9h9d

Suer had the best hand but Salmon picked up a flush draw on the 4c10cQc flop. The Js turn gave Salmon the lead with a set of jacks and he scooped both pots when the 5h completed the board on the river.

James Salmon – 920,000 (46 bb)
Robert Suer – Eliminated in 21st place for $5,376

$500,000 Guaranteed | Payouts
Level 22: 10,000/20,000 with a 20,000 ante
Players Remaining: 26 of 640

Marvin Rettenmaier opened for 45,000 under the gun and action  folded to Santana Noronha, who moved all in for 125,000 from the button. Both blinds got out of the way before Rettenmaier called.

Rattenmaier: KhQh
Noronha: AcJs

Noronha got it in good but fell behind on the Kc6c3d flop. The 9d turn left him looking for an ace on the river, but it wasn’t in the cards as the Qs peeled off instead.

Marvin Rettenmaier – 700,000 (35 bb)
Santana Noronha – Eliminated in 27th place for $3,840

Level 22: 10,000/20,000 with a 20,000 ante
Players Remaining: 26 of 640

Action folded to the player in the small blind and he raised to 110,000. Mike Graffeo moved in for 10,000 more than that in the big blind and his opponent called.

Graffeo: 9s8s
Small Blind: Qs5c

The 8dAd6c flop gave Graffeo the lead with a pair of eights and he wound up the winner after the 6h paired the board on the turn followed by the As on the river.

Mike Graffeo – 240,000 (12 bb)

$1K: Filipp Khavin Ships a Double u3i1u

Filipp Khavin moved all in for 75,000 from the cutoff and Jerry Humphrey called from the big blind.

Khavin: KhJh
Humphrey: Qd10d

The [2h10c9c] flop gave Humphrey the lead and he held it on the 8c turn. Khavin had one pull at it on the river and got there when the Qh peeled off to give him a straight.

Filipp Khavin – 160,000 (11 bb)
Jerry Humphrey – 535,000 (36 bb)

$1K: Chance Kornuth Eliminates Mike Newman 2d2h1a

$500,000 Guaranteed | Payouts
Level 21: 10,000/15,000 with a 15,000 ante
Players Remaining: 29 of 640

After coming back from a break, Mike Newman moved all in for 100,000 under the gun and Chance Kornuth called from the hijack.

“I don’t have anything but I don’t have a choice,” said Newman.

Kornuth: 9d9h
Newman: Qh8d

The 8c10c4s flop pair Newman’s eight but he needed more help to stay alive. Unfortunately for him, he didn’t get it as the Ah bricked on the turn followed by the 10s on the river.

Chance Kornuth – 1,300,000 (87 bb)
Mike Newman – Eliminated in 30th for $3,155
