Action folded to Michael Rossitto in the small blind and he moved all in for 600,000 on the nose. Stephan Nussrallah called from the big with a chance to knock Rossitto out.

Rossitto: Kc4h
Nussrallah: AdKd

Rossitto was dominated but hit the Td7s4d to take the lead with a pair of fours. The 9c turn and 2h river changed nothing and Rossitto doubled.

Soon after, Arkadiy Tsinis moved all in for 775,000 from the button and Javier Vallejo called in the big blind.

Tsinis: AcJh
Vallejo: AsTc

Tsinis had the bigger ace and never had to sweat on the all-low 7s2h2d4d5c board for his double.

Here’s a look at the counts after the two big hands.

Seat 1: Ruben Javier Vallejo – 825,000 (17 bb)

Rossitto: QdJd
Tait: KhKs

Tait was in great shape and stayed ahead on the Ah5d3d flop. He needed to sweat Rossitto’s diamond draw, was safe on the Ac turn but it got there on the 7d river to send Tait out in sixth place.

Dobbs: KhKc
Gorsuch: 5c5s

Gorsuch ran into a monster and it got much worse when Dobbs flopped a set of kings on the KsJh6h board. The 7c turn left Gorsuch drawing dead to the 3d river and seventh place.

Scott Dobbs – 1,135,000 (38 bb)
John Gorsuch – Eliminated in 7th Place ($4,533)

Nick Ahmadi

The Six-Max tournament drew another huge crowd to a WSOP Circuit event with 352 putting $181,280 up for grabs. Of those starters, we have 25 returning for Day 2 with Tampa regular Nick Ahmadi leading the way.

They are already in the money and guaranteed at least $1,289 but everyone wants the top $39,527 prize along with the WSOP Circuit ring.
