Event Info
The flop of brought a few more outs, but neither the on the turn or the river were of any help, ending Kingston's tournament life.
Tran's patience has paid off - he's now well within reach of the big stacks with just over 2.1 million in chips.
Both checked the flop before Tran bet out 160,000 on the turn. The on the river caused both players to be cautious and they both checked again.
Tran showed for two pair and Edmonds mucked.
Ephraums continued the aggression betting 175,000 on the flop which Croft called. But when Ephraums bet 300,000 on the turn, Croft shook his head and gave up the hand.
Kingston drops to 880,000. Tran up to 1,075,000.
Mastorakos called and they went heads-up to a flop of .
Edmonds announced he was all in. Mastorakos looked strained, going deep into the tank before making a crying call, turning up for a flush draw, but was behind the of Edmonds, who had flopped two pair.
The turn of the improved neither hand, so it was all down to the river, which was a useless .
Mastorakos couldn't rush to the cage fast enough - we suspect it was because he was frustrated, but we reckon his eighth place prizemoney should be able to turn that frown upside down.
Incidentally, Edmonds is now the outright chip leader with close to 4 million in his stack.
Edmonds:
Rawiller:
The board was spread ; Rawiller high-fived his friends on the rail, then sat back down to rake in a pot worth 1,130,000. Edmonds is back to 2.14 million.
Wilt:
Edmonds:
A decisive board meant we lose the last remaining Deuces Cracked player.
Edmonds is up to 2,850,000.
But we've just seen the smallest edge of action, Aaron Wilt opened in middle position and Jim Mastorakos called.
Both checked the flop before Wilt check/folded to a 230,000 bet on the turn.
