Vincent Moscati Eliminated in 6th Place ($29,773)

Nível 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

David Hu raised from under the gun to 480,000 and got called by Vincent Moscati leading to a Q♥A♣6♣ flop.

Moscati only had around 250,000 chip remaining and he moved them all in, quickly getting called by Hu to send the two players to a runout with Moscati at risk.

Vincent Moscati: A♦Q♠6♦4♠
David Hu: A♥K♠5♣2♥

Moscati was ahead with two cards to come and that didn't change with the 9♠ turn, but when the river came the K♥ to give Hu a better two pair, Moscati was sent to the exit in sixth place for $29,773.

Tanaka Way Ahead but Moscati Finds a Lucky Duck

Nível 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

A short-stacked Vincent Moscati was isolated by Yusuke Tanaka and both were ready to run five cards.

Vincent Moscati: K♠10♦9♠2♦
Yusuke Tanaka: K♦K♣9♥8♥

Tanaka had far and away the best hand with a pair of kings and a blocker to his opponent's nine. The flop seemed innocuous, spreading J♦2♣7♠, but when the 2♠ flipped off the deck, Moscati improved to trip deuces and left Tanaka looking for the last king.

The river bricked the 7♥ and Moscati's rail cheered him on as they all celebrated the duck that came on the turn.

Hu Puts Nearly Half the Table at Risk

ClaudioElizalde

Nível 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Vincent Moscati started the action raising nearly half his stack to 560,000. David Hu made the call, Satar Al-Sadoun raised to 2,400,000 and Paul DeGiulio went all in for what he had left.

So much had happened since his raise that Moscati begrudgingly folded his hand in an effort to latter up if someone else was eliminated. Moscati was happy to see Hu put Al-Sadoun and DeGiulio at risk. Al-Sadoun made the call, creating a side pot.

Paul DeGiulio: A♣K♣K♦J♠
Satar Al-Sadoun: A♥A♦10♠3♥
David Hu: 10♥9♥8♣7♣

Hu had taken a calculated risk with his double-suited rundown in an effort to eliminate two players, but more importantly catapult his stack. This was something he discussed with his rail after the hand played out.

The wheel spun 5♠3♦6♦, giving Hu the wrap and plenty of equity. When the K♥ peeled the turn, DeGiulio excitedly got out of his seat to let his rail know he had made top set.

The river bricked the 2♥ and DeGiulio got a full triple, Al-Sadoun scooped the side pot and Hu was left to swallow his previous hopes.

Moscati went on to tell DeGiulio that he had folded a king, making it his only out.

Nível 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Satar Al-Sadoun limped from under the gun only to face a raise from David Hu on the button to 360,000. Al-Sadoun called to see the flop come 9♣7♥Q♥.

Both players checked, prompting the dealer to burn and turn the 8♠.

Al-Sadoun tossed out a bet of 405,000 and got called by Hu before the dealer put the 5♥ out on the river.

Al-Sadoun bet out again, this time for 525,000. Hu quickly called quickly called and showed the A♠10♥9♠3♥, good for a flush and beating the A♦K♣10♦8♣ of Al-Sadoun to take down the pot.

Skaggs Chipping Away in Attempt to Slow Cook A Victory

Nível 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Yusuke Tanaka raised from under the gun to 300,000 and Thomas Skaggs called from the big blind leading to a A♥J♥5♦ flop.

Skaggs checked over to Tanaka who continued with a bet of 500,000. Skaggs paused briefly before putting in the call to take both players to the 10♠ turn.

Action checked through to bring out the 9♥ on the river.

Skaggs thought for a short moment before counting out chips and sliding a bet of 1,600,000 into the middle.

Tanaka didn't waste much time in folding which ignited cheers of, "Rump Roast! Let's go, baby!" from Skaggs' friend on the rail who may or may not be the only person on Earth that calls him by that nickname.

Moscati Finds a Sweet Board

ClaudioElizalde

Nível 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Vincent Moscati had been ground down to just over 1,000,000 chips when he committed himself with a raise against David Hu, who had him well covered.

Vincent Moscati: A♠K♣9♣8♦
David Hu: 9♦7♠6♥5♣

Moscati was undoubtedly happy to see he was ahead and was blocking Hu's hand a bit when the dealer scrolled across 10♠7♣2♥. Hu had a pair of sevens, but Moscati was looking at overcards and an open-ender.

The turn peeled the K♦, putting Moscati back in the lead. His hand finished even better when the 10♦ fell on the river to give him a double-up.

Nível 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Paul Spitzberg raised to 360,000 from the small blind and was called by David Hu in the big. The flop rolled K♣7♣2♥ and Spitzberg bet out 840,000 and was quickly met by a raise for the rest by Hu. Spitzberg obliged.

Paul Spitzberg: Q♣Q♦6♠4♦
David Hu: K♥J♠7♠7♦

Spitzberg just had a pair of queens and some backdoor straight possibilites while Hu flopped a set of sevens.

The turn was the 8♦, giving Spitzberg the distant hope of a five or a queen but it wasn't meant to be when the 4♦ fell.
