Ivan Galinec Eliminated in 7th Place ($86,300)

Livello 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Ivan Galinec opened to 240,000 from middle position and directly behind him, Felipe Ramos three-bet to 705,000. Action folded back around to Galinec and he pondered a bit before announcing he was all in for 4,300,000.

Ramos went into the tank and after a couple minutes, he put a small stack of chips into the middle to announce a call.

Ivan Galinec: 4♠4♦
Felipe Ramos: J♠J♣

Ramos screamed, "Yes!" when he saw that he was well ahead with his jacks.

The board ran out 2♣3♦7♥9♥3♥ — keeping Ramos out in front with his overpair and eliminating Galinec in seventh place.

Ramos Makes Big Hero Call

Calum_Grant

Livello 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Nozomu Shimizu opened to 250,000 from early position and Felipe Ramos defended his big blind to see the 8♥4♥2♥ flop. Ramos check-called for 125,000 which brought in the 6♠ turn. Ramos then led out for 350,000 and Shimizu called within two seconds.

On the 10♣ river, Ramos checked and Shimizu quickly fired out 950,000. Ramos went deep into the tank and rechecked his cards. It looked like he was about to fold to Ramos flicked in the one chip call and Shimizu began laughing.

Shimizu tabled his K♥Q♦ for a king-high bluff while Ramos called with the K♦8♦ which was good for just a pair of eights.

The Brazilian immediately left his feet in celebration for hero-calling correctly and the table complimented Ramos for his gutsy play.

Livello 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Jeremy Eyer opened to 250,000 from the button and called when Shiva Dudani moved all in for 460,000 from the small blind.

Shiva Dudani: K♥2♣
Jeremy Eyer: Q♣9♠

Dudani had the better hand preflop but was drawing to three outs after Eyer paired up on the 9♣5♥3♣ flop. There was no help for the at-risk player on the 10♠ turn and J♥ river, and Dudani exited in eighth-place.

James Vecchio Eliminated in 9th Place ($51,769)

Livello 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Jeremy Eyer opened to 200,00 from under-the-gun and was called by James Vecchio in middle position. Everyone else folded for a heads-up pot.

Eyer checked to Vecchio on the 6♣6♠7♦ flop and he bet 235,000. Eyer then check-raised to 600,000 and Vecchio called.

Both players checked on the 7♣ turn; however, Eyer shoved, having Vecchio covered, when the A♣ completed the board.

Vecchio went into the tank, agonizing over his decision for some time before placing calling chips into the middle.

Eyer tabled A♦A♥ for aces-full and Vecchio could only show 10♦10♣ for two pair and was eliminated in ninth place.

Livello 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Jesse Lonis committed most of his 1,115,000 stack from under the gun, leaving just a few chips behind. James Vecchio called off his 920,000 stack from the button. Felipe Ramos and Jeremy Eyer folded in the blinds, and the cards were tabled.

James Vecchio: 10♠10♦
Jesse Lonis: 9♦9♥

Vecchio had the better pair and left Lonis on fumes after his tens held on the J♣7♦5♥4♥A♥ runout.

The following hand, Lonis was forced all in from the big blind. Nozomu Shimizu opened to 205,000 first to act and Felipe Ramos called from the button.

Action checked through to showdown for the final board to read A♥9♠4♣4♥2♦.

Lonis tabled Q♠3♥ for queen-high, Ramos had pocket sevens, but Shimizu had the winner with his Kx9x, which was good for a pair of nines.

Shimizu collected the pot to move above 4,000,000 in chips while busting Lonis on the unofficial final table bubble.

Hong Doubles Through Dudani

Livello 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Jinho Hong opened to 210,000 from the cutoff and action folded to Shiva Dudani in the small blind, who three-bet to 660,000. It was folded back to Hong, who made the call.

Dudani continued for 525,000 on the 10♦9♣6♠ flop and Hong pondered a bit before announcing he was all in for 1,340,000 total. Dudani looked a bit pained, but landed on a call after getting a count.

Jinho Hong: A♣A♦
Shiva Dudani: J♠J♦

Hong was well ahead with his aces, but the J♣ turn got a collective gasp from the table as Dudani pulled ahead with a set of jacks on the turn.

Hong wouldn't be denied, however, as a A♥ drilled the river to give Hong the winning set of aces for a full double up.

Ivan Galinec	4,500,000 1,310,000	1,310,000

Livello 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Felipe Ramos opened to 225,000 from the small blind before Christina Gollins three-bet to 900,000 from the big blind. Ramos wasted little time in moving all in as the bigger stack and Gollins quickly called off her 3,800,000 stack.

Christina Gollins: AxKx
Felipe Ramos: QxQx

It was a huge cooler between the two stacks in the blinds and Ramos was the still favorite after the Jx10x3x flop and 6x turn. The Jx completed the board and marked the surprising exit for Gollins.

"That was a set-up," she said while collecting her belongings.

Livello 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Action folded around to the blinds and Shiva Dudani raised enough from the small to put Adekunle Olonoh all in for his last 690,000. Olonoh called and hands were tabled.

Adekunle Olonoh: A♠4♦
Shiva Dudani: K♠5♣

Olonoh held a slight lead, but the 9♥J♦K♣2♣7♣ runout paired Dudani's king and Olonoh was knocked out in 13th place.

Livello 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Henrik Brockmann opened to 250,000 second to act and was called by Christina Gollins from the cutoff.

Brockmann check-called for 225,000 on the flop 7♠6♠5♣ and folded after Gollins bet 450,000 on the 9♦ turn. Gollins flashed the 8♣ to show she had the straight.

The next hand, Brockmann opened to 225,000 and four-bet jammed for around 1,200,000 after Jeremy Eyer made it 600,000 from the cutoff. Eyer called.

Henrik Brockmann: 10♦10♠
Jeremy Eyer: J♦J♣

Eyer's better pair remained best on the Q♦3♣2♣4♦4♦6♦ runout to send Brockmann out.

Yuval Bronshtein Eliminated in 14th Place ($26,667)

Livello 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ronald Minnis called from middle position and Jinho Hong limped along from the hijack. Yuval Bronshtein made it 265,000 to go, leaving himself a single 5,000-denomination chip behind. Both Minnis and Hong called.

Everyone checked on the 10♣6♠A♦ flop and Minnis bet 500,000 on the 9♣ turn. Hong folded, but Bronshtein called to put himself at risk.

Yuval Bronshtein: Q♣J♦
Ronal Minnis: 10♠9♦

Bronshtein was drawing to broadway against Minnis' two pair, but the Q♥ river left Minnis best and Bronshtein was eliminated in 14th place.
