The first few hands after the dinner break have been fairly slow, as players are taking a bit of extra time for their decisions.
On both tables we saw some raises, re-raises and folds, and these are the two most interesting ones.
Dani Stern raised to 18,000 and Jeff Rossiter called from his immediate left. Sam Greenwood three-bet from the small blind to 66,000 and both Stern and Rossiter folded.
Two hands later Nick Petrangelo raised to 17,000 and Piotr Franczak three-bet from the big blind to 33,000. Petrangelo asked his opponent how much he had behind and ultimately he four-bet to 80,000. Franczak folded right away and Petrangelo picked up the pot.
Jeff Rossiter opened for 17,000 from the hijack and was met by an all-in three-bet to 68,000 total from Daniel Dvoress in the cutoff. The button and blinds all folded, and Rossiter thought for about 20 seconds before dropping in a call.
Rossiter:
Dvoress:
The flop paired Rossiter, but he needed more help if he was going to eliminate Dvoress. The turn didn't do it, and neither did the river. The bubble continues...
Connor Drinan opened the hijack for 16,000 and Martin Finger folded his cutoff. Sorel Mizzi on the button, the complete shortstack with just over 30,000 in chips, three bet to 24,000. That got rid of both blinds, but Drinan wasn't so eager to lay his hand down. Drinan clicked it back and Mizzi called all in.
Connor Drinan:
Sorel Mizzi:
Mizzi went in as the underdog, but came out ahead after the flop: . From a severe equity disadvantage to an eighty percent favorite to win the hand after the first three cards.
While Sorel had already gotten up from the table after the tabling of the cards pre flop, he made no attempt to sit back down after the flop while he was ahead . It was like he already knew; on the turn.
With less than five percent now to win the hand, Mizzi probably had accepted what was going to happen.
The river sealed his fate and Mizzi wished the rest of the table good luck, and headed to the exit.
On one of the first hands after the bubble burst it was Nick Petrangelo who raised under the gun plus one to 17,000 and Philipp Gruissem moved all in over the top from his immediate left.
The action folded around to Daniel Dvoress in the big blind and he moved all in over the top. Gruissem was at risk for 137,000 and Petrangelo folded his cards to create a heads-up showdown.
Dvoress:
Gruissem:
The flop brought out and this did not change much. On the turn, when the hit, Gruissem was given a bit of hope, but the river was the making his elimination in 13th place official.
Daniel Dvoress opened the button for 17,000 and both Sam Greenwood in the small blind as Nick Petrangelo in the big made the call.
On a flop of it was Greenwood leading out for 22,000. Petrangelo made the call, and so did Dvoress.
The fell on the turn and Greenwood now checked. Petrangelo followed suit en tabbed the table as well.
Dvoress bet 45,000 and Greenwood made the call after some thinking. Petrangelo tanked for quite a bit before giving up and sliding his cards to the muck.
The fell on the river and Greenwood checked. Dvoress checked behind after another short period of thinking.
Connor Drinan opened for 18,000 on the button and Dzmitry Urbanovich defended the big blind to see a flop of . Urbanovich check-called a bet of 18,000, and then check-called one of 36,000 on the turn. When the completed the board on the river, both players checked and Urbanovich tabled for trips. It was good as Drinan sent his cards to the muck.
