James Morgan: //
Jason Daly: //
Eddy Vataru: / - folded
Jason Daly completed and Eddy Vataru called before James Morgan raised. Both opponents called as Morgan bet again on fourth street.
Again, both opponents called. When Morgan bet on fifth, Daly came back with a raise and Vataru folded. Morgan leaned over the table to check Daly's board before calling.
Morgan finally gave up his hand when Daly bet on sixth.
One hand later, Daly played another pot against chip leader Steven Albini.
Jason Daly: / - folded
Steven Albini: //
Daly bet on fifth street and Albini called. Daly bet again on sixth street, and this time Albini raised.
Daly called, but he angrily tossed his cards away when Albini put in another bet on seventh.
Steven Albini is now a large chipleader, as he won few pots in a row. One of them was against Jason Daly.
Steven Albini: //
Jason Daly: //
Both players created a two million chip pot and Albini showed for a queen high straight, which was enought to scoop that pot.
On the hand just after that, he almost took more than half of Vataru stack, who just folded on another bet on the sixth street, to keep a small stack alive in the tournament.
Tamon Nakamura raised on third street and both Richard Bai and Jason Daly called. Nakamura put in his last 65,000 on fourth and both opponents called.
Tamon Nakamura:
Richard Bai:
Jason Daly: - mucked
Bai continued betting through to seventh street as he and Daly built a side pot. Bai showed a straight and a 7-6-5-4-3 low and Daly mucked, while Nakamura was left with a pair of kings and was eliminated.
Three players are in a dangerous zone, Kyle Loman, Peter Brownstein and Eddy Vataru. Loman just tried to survive against Richard Bai, going all-in preflop.
Kyle Loman:
Richard Bai:
Board came giving two pairs for Loman, who still fighting for his life in this tournament.
Jason Daly raised from the button, then called when big blind Eddy Vataru re-raised all in.
Eddy Vataru:
Jason Daly:
Daly took a near-lock on the pot when the flop gave him a straight and a low. The turn came the and the river to give Vataru a runner-runner full house and the high pot.
"One guy's more happy than the other," a tablemate said as they chopped the pot.
