There was heads-up action in a three-bet pot between Ryan Sullivan in the big blind and Petr Hruska on the button. Sullivan had a big advantage in stacks and jammed the flop.

Hruska had 238,000 behind and called off. He was at risk.

Sullivan: for a pair and a straight draw
Hruska: for ace-king high and Broadway draw

Turn and river:

Hruska’s hand never improved and he was eliminated in 28th place while Sullivan joined the tournament big stacks. Staff promptly stopped the clock and conducted the three-table redraw.

There was an early-position raise to 28,000 and Vinny Censabella called from late position as did Joseph Skarzynski on the button. It was on massive start-of-day chip leader, Fernando Rodriguez, who’d sputtered as of late to claim a mortal stack. Rodriguez shoved the small blind for 373,000 total and it was back on the original raiser.

He folded after a minute or two leaving it up to Censabella who called without hesitation. Skarzynski got out of the way and it was a clash between the current and former chip leader.

Censabella:
Rodriguez:

Runout:

Rodriguez was caught with ace-high and improving to a pair of threes wasn’t enough. He was eliminated by Censabella in 34th after beginning the day with more than 1,000,000 chips — twice that of second place.

Censabella stacked a massive pot and took the chip lead as players went on their second break.

Start-of-day chip leader Fernando Rodriguez is back to reality with 690,000 chips. While it’s still good for one of the biggest in the room, he’s come from a long way from the 1,000,000 chips he slept on overnight.

Play is going deeper into the money and the stacks are leveling out with Vinny Censabella (820,000), Trevor Hurst (705,000) and Anthony Dianaty (550,000) among the leaders.

David DiBernardi put an exclamation point on his taking of the chip lead, flopping Broadway and sending an opponent to the rail.

The flop was and DiBernardi’s opponent announced, “All-in,” for more than 60,000. DiBernardi snapped having the opponent covered and quickly turned over for the nuts Broadway plus a Royal Flush draw. The opponent had a measly pair and only had slim hopes for a chop.

The turn and river fell and DiBernardi grew his stack to over 350,000.
