Anthony Dianaty

Cards are back in the air with 33 players remaining and the bubble-bursting Chris Boyle in the lead with 1,220,000. Anthony Dianaty looks like our second-biggest stack with 1,115,000 and both are in great shape for a deep run.

Levels are still one hour long and will remain that way until the three table redraw when they increase to 90 minutes.

Derek Bowers

As the field was breaking down to the last four tables, Derek Bowers three bet shoved from the button for 84,000 and the under the gun player called.

Bowers: 8s8d
UTG: AsAc

Bowers needed help to stick around and the dealer obliged on the JsTd8h flop. His set was ahead and stayed that way on the 7c turn and 2d to give the former Tampa Summer Poker Open trophy winner the double.

Derek Bowers – 193,000 (19 bb)

Chris Boyle

On the fourth round of hand-for-hand, Chris Boyle and Shawn Barnett were in a battle of the blinds with the board complete and reading Js6h4s2s4h.

Boyle checked, Barnett bet 89,000, Boyle moved all in, and Barnett called at risk for 165,000 total. They waited for action to complete on the other tables before the hands were shown.

Boyle flipped over 6c4c for a full house, fours full of sixes, to top Barnett’s turned nut flush with As5s. Barnett was eliminated, Boyle moved near a million, and the field was in the money.

Chris Boyle – 970,000 (121 bb)
Shawn Barnett – Eliminated

Ellen Heller

On the first bubble hand, Oscar Lindo Zeledon opened the action from middle position and Ellen Heller shipped in for 63,000 from the small blind. Zeledon called, Heller was at risk, and the cards were tabled after all other action was complete.

Heller: KsKd
Lindo Zeledon: QcQd

Heller was in great shape for the bubble double and the board ran clean Tc9c2h7h7d to keep her in the game.

Rodney Turvin

Jamie “Beard” Smith came into the day with the third-biggest stack of the remaining players but nothing went right today for him. His last hand of the tournament saw him get all in from the small blind with KcKd only to run into the AhAd of Rodney Turvin on the button.

It was a cooler for Smith and he never had a sweat on the Ts8h2c9c4h board. He hit the exit short of the money bubble while Turvin stacked up over 500,000.

Rodney Turvin – 510,000 (85 bb)
Jamie Smith – Eliminated

Stuart Henrique’s stack is the first over 1,000,000

The rich get richer.

Chip leader Stuart Henrique opened to 13,000 and picked up a call from the hijack. His cutoff opponent raised to 50,000 and only Henrique called to see the AcJc2d flop. His opponent put his last 170,000 in the middle and Henrique put him at risk.

Henrique: As2s
Cutoff: 8c8h

Henrique was ahead with aces up but the 8d turn put his opponent in the lead for the double. Then the Ad spiked on the river to give Henrique aces full of deuces, half the table jumped out of their seats, and Henrique knocked another player out while moving his stack over a million.

Stuart Henrique – 1,033,000 (207 bb)
