Million-Chip Marchese

Tom Marchese raised to 45,000 from early position, and Sam Stein made the call a few seats over. Everyone else ducked out of the way, and the two of them went heads up to a flop.

It came {4-Spades} {9-Hearts} {8-Clubs}, and Marchese continued out with a bet of 60,000. Stein stared him down and popped it up to 155,000 after a minute or two. Marchese didn't waste much time flat-calling.

Fourth street came the {3-Spades}, and Stein checked behind, and Marchese checked it to him again on the {7-Hearts} river. Taking his cue to fire, Stein gathered heaps of pink chips and slid forward one final bet of 245,000. Marchese just thought it over for a few seconds before calling it down.

Without a word, Stein flipped up his {K-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} miss, and Marchese's {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs} was the winner. The two men have essentially traded stacks after that hand with Marchese moving his way up to 1.22 million.

The Not-Quite-Final Table

With Nathan Doudney's elimination, we are down to our final ten players. They have redrawn seats, and everyone's been moved over here to one of the tertiary featured tables. It's a big redraw as it's the last of the event, and the players will be seated here for the rest of their respective days.

Seat 1: Valdemar Kwaysser (1,398,000)
Seat 2: Blair Rodman (282,000)
Seat 3: Tom Marchese (764,000)
Seat 4: Konstantin Bucherl (1,825,000)
Seat 5: Matt Marafioti (357,000)
Seat 6: Peter Jetten (700,000)
Seat 7: Sam Stein (1,202,000)
Seat 8: Dani Stern (537,000)
Seat 9: Alexander Kuzmin (707,000)
Seat 10: James Calderaro (328,000)

We had just a couple minutes' pause there for the move, but the cards are back in the air with about 35 minutes left in the current level.

Nathan Doudney Eliminated in 11th Place ($44,010)

Nathan Doudney, 11th place
Nathan Doudney, 11th place

Blair Rodman opened to 60,000 from late position, and Nathan Doudney reraised all in for 137,000 total. Rodman asked for the exact count as a call represented the vast majority of his own chips. When he learned the number, he made a sighing call to put Doudney at risk. It was a good call:

Rodman: {K-Diamonds} {9-Spades}
Doudney: {K-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}

There wasn't anything for Doudney to use on a board of {A-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {6-Clubs}, and he has been eliminated in 11th place.

Clement Thumy Eliminated in 12th Place ($44,010)

Clement Thumy, 12th place
Clement Thumy, 12th place

Valdemar Kwaysser raised from under-the-gun and Clement Thumy re-potted to 129,000 from the big blind. Kwaysser pushed in a tall stack of 5,000-denomination chips, which Thumy misinterpreted as an all-in. Thumy said "call" and pre-emptively opened his hand, exposing {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}. However, the amount Kwaysser pushed toward the pot wasn't enough for a raise. Kwaysser's action was ruled a call, and they went to the flop with Thumy's hand open.

The flop was {K-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades}. Thumy moved all-in for his last 53,000. Kwaysser began mumbling through some calculations, knowing he was behind in the hand but was trying to see if he had the right price to make the call. Kwaysser was getting close to 6-1 on his money and tossed in a call, turning up {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}.

It turned out to be well worth it. The turn was the {3-Hearts}, but the {K-Spades} hit the river and Kwaysser took down the pot with trip kings, sending Thumy to the rail in 12th place.

The moral of the story, kids? Always know your pot odds.

Kwaysser is up to 1.2 million

Marc Inizan Eliminated in 13th Place ($34,639)

Marc Inizan, 13th place

After a preflop raising war, Marc Inizan found himself all in and in trouble with {A-Spades} {9-Spades} (again) against Konstantin Bucherl's {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts}.

The flop was a mixed bag for Inizan as he paired up, but the {Q-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} left him needing to fade a deck's worth of outs in order to survive.

He could not. The turn {3-Hearts} gave Bucherl the unbeatable flush, and the {K-Hearts} landed on the river just for good measure. That's what the kids call a Royal Flush these days, and it's royally flushed Marc Inizan right out the door.

He's been eliminated in 13th place, taking home just about $35,000 for his three-day effort.

Kwaysser Also Breaches a Million

Peter Jetten raised to 45,000 from late position, and Valdemar Kwaysser three-bet to 125,000 from the big blind. Jetten asked how much his opponent was playing before making the call.

The flop came {5-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}, and Kwaysser continued out with a bet of 130,000. Jetten didn't waste much time calling, and the {4-Diamonds} appeared on fourth street. The action check-checked, and the river paired the board with the {A-Diamonds}. Kwaysser paused before doing a diamond check on his hole cards, and he slowly tapped the table. Jetten threw his hands up in the air and said, "Check!"

Kwaysser was first to show his {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}, and it was the best hand. Jetten flipped his {J-Spades} {J-Hearts} back and forth in between his hands, then laid them face-up on the felt to send the pot over to his opponent.

Kwaysser climbs up over the million-chip mark to 1.05 million with that pot.

Stein Doubles With Set Over Set

I looked a lot more excited than this when we showed our cards

Clement Thumy checked the {7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop over to Sam Stein, who bet 62,000. Thumy raised to 175,000, Stein moved all-in and Thumy called.

Thumy turned over pocket fours for a set, but Stein had pocket fives for a higher set! Mayhem! Madness! Stein couldn't believe his eyes and sprung from his chair.

The turn was the {6-Spades}, the river was the {7-Clubs} and Stein doubled to 1,242,000. Onetime chip leader Thumy is down to only 202,000.

Konstantin Bucherl Doubles Through Marc Inizan

Talk about a game-changer...

On a flop of {9-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, Konstantin Bucherl bet 63,000, Marc Inizan raised to 175,000, Bucherl raised enough to set Inizan all-in and he made the call.

Bucherl {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Inizan {A-Spades}{9-Hearts}

Bucherl made his flush on the turn when the {A-Hearts} fell. The river was the {2-Clubs} and Inizan shipped 664,000 across the table, leaving himself with 377,000. Bucherl is the new chip leader with 1,442,000.
