We'll be bringing you daily updates on the Player of the Year race, so be sure to keep an eye out for those.
Liv Boeree began the day on a short stack, but by the time she was moved from the feature table, she had managed to work that stack up to 47,000. Unfortunately for the Season 6 Sanremo champ, her comeback would end there.
We missed the hand as it happened, but we learned after the fact that Boeree had three-bet [Removed:17], who proceeded to jam into her with . The Team PokerStars Pro got her chips in with a better ace, but lady luck wasn't on her side as Yan improved and took down the pot.
Vladimir Troyanovskiy, who finished runner-up to Vanessa Selbst in last years $25,000 High Roller at the PCA for $792,180, has just been eliminated from the tournament. Troyanovskiy has never seen the river, and has never witnessed that his stack was just nearly covered by his opponent.
In a button versus big blind situation Troyanovskiy and Mitch Johnson got all of their chips in before the flop. Johnson, who was on the button, held and was up against Troyanovskiy's .
The flop came . By the time the dealer had the on the table Troyanovskiy had already left the tournament area. He never saw the .
The dealer started counting the chips and came to the conclusion that Johnson had slightly more chips than Troyanovskiy. The Russian player is out, the Brit is now one of the bigger stacks in the room.
Paul Berende opened the action from the button and the small blind moved all in for 30,900. Berende tank called with the and Dori Yacoub from Lebanon turned over the . "I just shoved any ace because you opened the button," Yacoub added. The board gave him trips and Berende almost lost one third of his stack.
We saw Tam Truong lingering on the rail, and he was kind enough to inform us of the details surrounding his demise. According to him, he got his last 15 big blinds all in preflop holding against an opponent who held [10x10x. Truong explained this particular opponent had shoved on him earlier, so he was hoping to be racing in the worst case scenario. Unfortunately that wasn't the case and he failed to find a third seven.
As mentioned before, Ronan Monfort could have done with a double up similar to Christian Favale and he just did that. From under the gun he moved all-in for 20 big blinds with pocket tens and the small blind called with eights.
Shortly after Christian Favale doubled up again, his victim was the same as before. We joined the action on the turn where Favale bet 4,000 and called the raise to 8,400 from Martic Andrija. On the river Favale moved all in for 17,800 into a pot of 25,000 and Martic leveled himself into a call with queen high. Favale showed the for another double up.
