Darren Taylor | Eliminado |
Tyler Groth started gaining the ground, slowly conquering mediocre pots, increasing his lead. But a few moments ago, his chip stack increased very significantly as he scored a knockout, eliminating Igor Sharaskin in fifth place.
Allan Le started the hand with a cutoff raise to 85,000. Groth called on the button, inviting big blind Sharaskin to the flop.
Sharaskin led big on the flop, pushing 150,000 towards the middle. Le folded, but Groth matched the bid.
They saw the hit the felt, and Sharaskin paused for a moment before declaring all in for his remaining 430,000. Groth snap-called.
Igor Sharaskin:
Tyler Groth:
Sharaskin had a big draw, but his chances were nullified when Groth exposed his full house, eights full of fours. Sharaskin stated what had become evident: "I'm drawing dead," before shaking hands with the remaining players. The river had no meaning, as the Russian player already knew his fate at that point.
Following his third-place run in the $565 Pot-Limit Omaha Event, Sharaskin added another top-five finish to his name. He was rewarded with $40,862 today.
Meanwhile, Groth has now maneuvering more than a half of all chips in play as he soars over 3,000,000.

After the elimination of Adam Brown in sixth, Jonathan Zarin joked, "Does anybody have more than me?" knowing he was the shortest stack. But he's climbing back. Shortly after doubling through Allan Le, Zarin found another stack at which to take aim: Darren Taylor's.
Taylor min-raised from the button, and Zarin three-bet, announcing, "Pot," to make it 280,000. Taylor had some serious troubles figuring what to do, counting his own stack and contemplating about his decision. He eventually called.
The flop brought the expected action. Zarin moved all in for 170,000, and Taylor quickly called. "I've got seven," Zarin said, likely feeling he was ahead after making trips with his dangler .
Jonathan Zarin:
Darren Taylor:
Zarin indeed was ahead, and the on the turn provided him with the best possible service. "Kings full," Zarin announced, ensured he was about to double. Nothing could change the outcome of the hand anymore, but the dealer did the required formality and turned over the river.
