They were racing and Polychronopoulos needed to hold to double up. The board ran out KdKcQcAd3c and Graber won the pot with two pair kings and queens to send Polychronopoulos out.

Raminder Singh

While the rest of the field was leaving on their second break, defending champ Raminder Singh was deep in a hand. With the flop reading AcKc3d, Singh bet 8,000 and his opponent called.

The turn came Qh, Singh bet another 6,500 and his opponent raised to 11,500. Singh called, the river was 3s and he bet 16,000. His opponent thought for a minute, tossed in a call, and mucked when Singh showed Ah8h for aces up with an eight kicker.

Raminder Singh – 119,500 (149 bb)

Victor Figueroa opened to 1,600 from early position and Zoltan Czinkota called in the big blind. The flop came Ah9c5c, Czinkota checked, Figueroa continued for 3,000 and Czinkota called.

The turn was 8h, Figueroa moved all in for 21,700 and Czinkota called.

Czinkota: 9s8d
Figueroa: QhTh

Czinkota was ahead with two pair nines and eights and Figueroa needed to catch his heart draw or gutshot straight draw to double. The river was 6c to send Czinkota the pot and Figueroa out (for now).

Czinkota – 72,300 (90 bb)

Ron Levy

Ron Levy is having a great day in the back of the Poker Room and leads the field heading towards the second break. He is up to 177,500 for a clear lead and trying for a unique accomplishment.

There are only a handful of players who have won tournaments at the three Seminole properties with poker in Florida. Levy won the $300 No Limit Hold’em tournament in Tampa and went home with the $365 Turbo WSOP Circuit ring in Hollywood. The only title missing is the Coco trophy and this would be a good one to get.
