Urbanovich:
The flop put Urbanovich in the lead when popped up, but the turn gave Vogelsang the winning hand. The river did not change this, as the hit, and Vogelsang received a double up.
JC Alvarado raised to 360,000 under the gun and all three of his opponents opted to make the call, creating four-way action. The flop came down and Loosli bet 650,000 when the action got checked to him. Rather quickly all three of his opponents folded, and Loosli picked up a nice pot on the flop.
Start of day chip leader Michael Egan couldn't really get much going today. With Urbanovich and Vogelsang pushing the action behind him, he was in a difficult spot. He lost some small and medium sized pots and soon enough found himself short stacked.
With just 1,270,000 left he pushed in from first position. His neighbor Dzmitry Urbanovich made the call, all other players folded.
