Vincent Moscati Eliminated in 6th Place ($29,773)

Nível 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

David Hu raised from under the gun to 480,000 and got called by Vincent Moscati leading to a Q♥A♣6♣ flop.

Moscati only had around 250,000 chip remaining and he moved them all in, quickly getting called by Hu to send the two players to a runout with Moscati at risk.

Vincent Moscati: A♦Q♠6♦4♠
David Hu: A♥K♠5♣2♥

Moscati was ahead with two cards to come and that didn't change with the 9♠ turn, but when the river came the K♥ to give Hu a better two pair, Moscati was sent to the exit in sixth place for $29,773.

Hu and Al-Sadoun Go to Battle

Nível 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Satar Al-Sadoun raised to 400,000 from under the gun and got called by David Hu on the button and Yusuke Tanaka in the big blind to see the 4♥8♣7♠ flop.

Tanaka checked to Al-Sadoun who continued with a bet of 400,000. Hu put in the call and Tanaka folded to bring out the 8♠ on the turn.

Al-Sadoun checked to Hu who put out a bet of 1,100,000. Al-Sadoun paused briefly and counted out chips as he contemplated his action. Eventually, he put in the call and watched as the 5♠ fell on the river.

Al-Sadoun wasn't quick to do so, but eventually he did check and Hu checked back to get to showdown.

Hu waited for Al-Sadoun to table his hand first and after seeing him turn over the J♦10♦10♣3♦, Hu tabled the A♣Q♠8♠2♣ to win the pot with a pair of aces.

Skaggs Continues His Spiral

Nível 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

At one point earlier in the tournament Thomas Skaggs took a commanding chip lead and left Satar Al-Sadoun nearly out of contention but for the past two levels it seems he's been unable to win a pot.

Hand 1:

On a river reading K♣10♠3♦4♠K♦, he bet 1,000,000 only to be called by the K♠J♣7♦6♠, who made a flush in combination with the boat blocker.

Hand 2:

Skaggs raised on the button to 400,000 and soon faced a raise from Yusuke Tanaka to 1,400,000 from the small blind. Skagg folded.

Hand 3:

Skaggs limped in middle position and was faced with a raise to 900,000 from Al-Sadoun. Skaggs made the call and the saw a flop of K♦2♠5♥. Skagg checked and Al-Sadoun wagered a cool 1,000,000, which garnered a fold.

Skaggs also defended a couple hands in the big blind but was unable to ever end up at showdown or rake a pot.

Yusuke Tanaka Eliminated in 5th Place ($40,119)

Nível 32 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

David Hu raised to 600,000 from the button and Yusuke Tanaka called from the big blind to see the 6♥3♠4♣ flop.

Tanaka jammed for around 600,000 more and Hu checked his cards then put in the call to send both players to a runout with Tanaka at risk.

Yusuke Tanaka: K♥K♠Q♣3♦
David Hu: A♠Q♠10♦5♣

Tanaka was in pretty good shape with two cards to come and the 9♦ on the turn didn't change that but when the 2♥ hit the river, completing the wheel for Hu, Tanaka was sent to the rail in fifth place for $40,119.

Al-Sadoun Barrels Again

Nível 32 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Satar Al-Sadoun raised to 500,000 from the small blind and received a call from Paul DeGiulio in the big.

Heads up they saw the Q♦2♥3♠. Al-Sadoun bet 600,000 and DeGiulio made the call after mulling it over.

The turn brought the J♦ and both players tapped the table before the J♣ paired the board.

This time Al-Sadoun fired for 2,450,00 and DeGiulio mulled it over again but decided to let his hand go. Al-Sadoun made a gesture of wiping the sweat off his brow and showed Ax6x4x2x for the missed wrap and no pair.

DeGiulio turned to his rail shortly after and said, "I think I might feel like going home soon..."
