Dianaty inquired whether Minaya was contemplating a hero call.

“Yeah. A hero call,” Minaya said.

He reluctantly found that hero call and Dianaty turned over KhKd for third pair. Minaya conceded the pot, unable to beat Dianaty’s pair. Minaya was eliminated in 31nd place while Dianaty added to his chip lead.

Event 4: Hyndi Khomutetsky Eliminates Richard Doss on the Bubble

Hyndi Khomutetsky

It took but one hand to burst the money bubble in the $350 restart.

Hyndi Khomutetsky open-shoved for about 90,000 and it folded around to Richard Doss who jammed for less — 61,000. The remaining players in the hand got out of the way and Khomutetsky saw the bad news. She was behind, but Doss was at risk.

Doss: KsKh
Khomutetsky: JsJc

The dealer burned and turned — AcJh6c. Doss threw his arms up in the air in disbelief as Khomutetsky hit an unlikely set. The turn Jd added insult to injury as she spiked quads and left Doss’ stack dead. The river was a meaningless 2s and Khomutetsky was officially best.

The carnage

Doss hit the rail on the bubble — 55th place — leaving the final 54 in the money.

Hyndi Khomutetsky – 165,000
Richard Doss – Eliminated
