After that quiet stretch, the eliminations have suddenly started back up again. Shortly after Amnon Filippi's elimination, a hand arose on the neighboring table in which Percy Mahatan opened for 250,000 from early position and Jeremy Ausmus called from middle position. Kyle Keranen then reraised all in for 1.465 million total from the cutoff, and when it folded back to Mahatan he reraised all in over the top of that, forcing a fold from Ausmus.
Keranen had but , and unfortunately for him he'd run into Mahatan's . The board rolled out , and Keranen is out in 38th place.
Elisabeth Hille opened for 200,000 only to have Omar Saeed three-bet to 525,000. Chip leader Daniel Strelitz then put in a four-bet to 945,000, Hille got out of the way, and Saeed moved all in for 2.88 million. Strelitz snap called and rolled over the granddaddy of all hands.
Showdown
Strelitz:
Saeed:
It was a terrible spot for Saeed, and he would receive no miracle as the board ran out an uneventful . Saeed finished in 37th place, which means the remaining players will be combined to the final four tables.
Just before break, there was a three-way pot on Table 3 with around 800,000 in the middle. The board read , and Shahriar Assareh and Danny Wong checked to Marc Ladouceur, who tossed out 600,000 on the button. Only Assareh called.
The completed the board, and Assareh checked again. Ladouceur tanked for nearly a minute, then slid out thirteen lavender T100,000 chips, betting 1.3 million. Assareh quickly called, and Ladouceur tabled for a flush.
Assareh mucked, leaving himself with only 1.055 million chips. Ladouceur is now up to 11 million.
As the 36 remaining players returned from the latest break, another revision to the schedule was announced.
Now the plan will be to play out Level 29 — of which about one hour and 20 minutes remains — then stop for the night. In other words, players will be completing five levels today, and there will very likely be more than 27 players returning for tomorrow's Day 7.
