Thomas Renault Eliminated in 25th Place ($3,768)

After nursing a short stack the majority of the day, Ranault is all in holding [kd][qh] against his opponent's [10h][10s]. 

It looked good for Renault when the [ks] came in the window, but the [10d] and [6d] were right behind it, giving his opponent a set of tens. 

The [5s] turn and [jh] river did not improve Renault's hand and he is sent home in 25th place. 

Main Event - FInal Three Tables




Thomas Marzilli Doubles Through Mike Dentale (Main Event)


Thomas Marzilli is all in holding [9s][9d] against Mike Dentale's [10c][10s].

The flop comes [kd][8d][2c], leaving Dentale's tens in the lead.

The [4d] comes on the turn giving Marzilli a flush draw, but maintaining Dentale's lead. 

The [qd] on the river gives Marzilli the flush, and a full double. 

Thomas Marzilli - 175,000
Mike Dentale - 225,000

Joseph Rice Bubbles Main Event, All Remaining Players Now In the Money

Joseph Rice (standing) is All In on the Bubble
Thomas Renault raises to 18,000 in middle position.  Giuseppe Ruvolo calls on the button, and Joseph Rice shoves all in from the big blind.  Renault smooth calls the all in, leaving himself 95,000 behind, and Ruvolo also calls on the button. 

Renault checks in the dark and the flop comes [kd][8s][5c].  Ruvolo bets 100,000, and Renault folds. 

Ruvolo: [as][ks] (pair of kings)
Rice: [qd][qs] (pair of queens)

Unfortunately for Rice, the [js] turn and [ad] river do not improve his hand, and he is sent home as the official bubble. 

All remaining players are now in the money, and guaranteed at least $3,768. 

Teddy Geddes Eliminated By Hilary Dombrowski One From Bubble

Level 19
Blinds: 3,000/6,000  Ante: 1,000

According to a player at the table, Hilary Dombrowski raised to 22,000 preflop, Teddy Geddes reraises to 57,000, Dombrowski shoves all in, and Geddes calls for less (approx. 250,000).

Dombrowski was holding ace-king against Geddes' pocket queens.

Unfortunately for Geddes, an ace came on the flop, and Geddes failed to improve on the turn or river, and was eliminated one from the money bubble breaking.

Dombrowski is now sitting with 655,000 in chips, and we are officially on the bubble.  Hand for hand play will now begin. 

Donald Bliss Eliminated By Justin Higgins (Event #12 $1,650 Main Event)

On a board reading [ks][jh][10s], Justin Higgins checks in the hijack, Donald Bliss bets 30,000 on the button, and Higgins shoves all in, having Bliss covered.

Bliss goes into the tank for a few minutes, until Higgins calls the clock on him.  He is given 60 seconds to act, and after 50 seconds, Bliss throws in a chip to call.

Higgins: [as][qd] (Broadway straight)
Bliss: [ac][10d] (pair of tens)

Unfortunately for Bliss, the [3h] turn, and [5h] river does not improve his hand, and he is eliminated from play shortly before the dinner break, and the money bubble bursting.  (There are currently 30 players remaining, and 27 make the money.)

$1,650 Main Event Now on Dinner Break

Players are now on a 60 minute dinner break.  Play will resume at 3,000/6,000 blinds, with a 1,000 ante.  There are currently 30 players remaining, and the money bubble is expected to burst shortly after dinner break, with 27 players getting paid.
