Steve Trizis

The board was dealt and the damage was done. Steve Trizis’ KhJd was face up and William Kopp’s 4s3s was already killed. The board laid Js3h2s7d9h and the dealer was breaking down the stack of Trizis who had just doubled to over 900,000. Trizis’ stack was counted down to over 400,000 and Kopp shipped a massive pot across the table.

According to the table, David Prociak raised to 25,000 and William Kopp three-bet to 55,000. Claudemier Osorio called while Prociak got out of the way.

Kopp and Osorio checked a king-high flop. The turn brought another king and Osorio ended up getting the last of his stack in following some back-and-forth action.

Kopp: KsJs for trips
Osorio: TxTx for a pair of tens

Osorio didn’t improve on the river and he was eliminated in 45th place. Kopp, meanwhile, kept up his Day 2 winnings ways.

Event 7: Maroun Akiki Eliminated on the Bubble by Alex Ivan

$570 Deep Stack NL Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 18: 3,000/6,000 with a 1,000 ante
Players Remaining: 63 of 624

On the second round of hand-for-hand play, Tampa regular Maroun Akiki met his fate at the hands of fellow regular Alex Ivan.

Akiki was on the button with 20,000 in the middle and action was on Ivan in the big blind. Ivan contemplated his options before shoving all-in for 181,000. It was back on Akiki and he did some contemplating of his own. It took a few moments of thought, but he called. At the time, it was unclear who was at risk.

Akiki: ThTd
Ivan: As9s

The flop nailed Ivan, falling Ad7c4h. The turn 2d and river 6c didn’t change a thing and Ivan earned the pot. Akiki’s stack was counted down to 180,000 — Ivan had him covered by a lone orange 1,000 chip. Akiki was eliminated 64th sending the final 63 into the money.
