Caiazza: Ah3h
Carey: Kd9d

Caiazza was ahead for the double up and improved to a pair of threes on the Qs6h3d flop. The board finished with the 5s turn and 4d river and Caiazza doubled up.

Carey was left with a little more than one big blind and was eliminated on the next hand.

Phonphornwithoon: AhQs

Beck was dominated and could not find a save as the dealer ran it out Ts9h3s3cAc.

Raymond Grell

Wanlop Phonphornwithoon and Raymond Grell were heads up with the board reading JhJs8s9c. Phonphornwithoon checked, Grell bet 170,000 and Phonphornwithoon check-raised him all in. Grell called after a minute to thing about it.

Phonphornwithoon: QdTd – queen-high straight
Grell: KsJc – trip jacks

Phonphornwithoon turned the straight against Grell’s trip jacks and Grell could not find a full house on the 3h river to go out in sixth place.

Action folded to Irene Carey on the button and she put in a big barrel of 25k chips announcing “all in”. She had both blinds covered and Ken Brosnahan called for his last 210,000 from the big blind.

Carey: Ah3h
Brosnahan: KdJd

Carey was ahead in the hand and stayed that way on the Td9s4s2h7h board to eliminate Brosnahan in seventh place.

Irene Carey – 1,600,000 (40 bb)
Ken Brosnahan – Eliminated in 7th Place ($2,207)

Robbie Beck opened to 85,000 from early position, Stephen Vecchio three-bet shoved for 275,000 and Wanlop Phonphornwithoon called. Beck folded and the hands were tabled.

Phonphornwithoon: TsTh
Vecchio: AhJs

It was a race and Vecchio needed to catch up with his over cards. The dealer spread the Kd8d6c4hKs board and it was not good enough to keep him in the game.

Wanlop Phonphornwithoon – 1,730,000 (58 bb)
Stephen Vecchio – Eliminated in 8th Place ($1,727)
