Robert Urspruch

Yong Liu opened to 130,000 and Robert Urspruch called all in for his last 60,000. The rest of the table released and Liu earned a rebate on his raise.

Liu: 6s4s
Urspruch: KdQd

“Courtesy double up,” Liu joked right before he hit the 6d3s2s flop. He improved to trip sixes on the 6c turn and Urspruch was sent out after the Tc river.

Liu: ThTc

Lindo was in great shape for the double and the KsKc4c4sJc board caused him no problems.

Oscar Lindo – 2,240,000

Douglas Erwin

Douglas Erwin opened to 125,000 from the button and Andrew Pacifico put him all in from the big blind after a minute’s thought. Erwin called at risk for approximately 600,000 more and was ahead.

Erwin: Ad9c
Pacifico: KsJh

Erwin needed to dodge the big face cards and the Qs8s4h flop was safe. The 3d turn was no problem either but the spiked Kh river was bad news to send Erwin out in 15th place.

Andrew Pacifico – 3,300,000
Douglas Erwin – Eliminated in 15th place ($4,630)

Gerald Dunn

A short-stacked Ahmad Hamoush opened-shoved from early position and it folded around to Gerald Dunn in the small blind. He called all in with the shorter stack and was the player at risk.

Hamoush: AsKs
Dunn: Tc9c

Dunn had two live cards and hit the flop but so did Hamoush as it came AdTh8s. The 3s turn and 3c river were no help and Dunn was out in 16th place.

Ahmad Hamoush – 625,000
Gerald Dunn – Eliminated in 16th place ($3,835)

While the rest of the players went on dinner break, Mackenzie Ramsay and Andrew Pacifico played one more huge pot. Ramsay called a three-bet then shoved with his pocket eights and Pacifico sent him packing with pocket kings.

The huge hand put Pacifico into the lead and staff will balance the tables when they return.
