Mizzi vs. Beasley
With a flop of A 9 3 on the table Sorel Mizzi bet 16,300 and Mike Beasely raised all in for 111,000. Mizzi went into the tank for quite some time and eventually mucked. Beasley flipped over A Q as he collected the pot.
Stammen Takes a Hit
UTG+1 was all in and he had UTG covered, who was also all in. Stammen had both of them covered in middle position and he made the call preflop. Their cards:
Stammen: K K
UTG: Q Q
UTG+1: A A
Board: 10 7 3 9 J
Stammen took a slight hit on the hand, UTG+1 was eliminated to take things down to 28 players remaining and UTG close to tripled up on the hand.
Arieh vs. Marchese
The flop read J 9 4 when Thomas Marchese bet 17,000 under the gun and Josh Arieh made the call from the big blind. The 6 fell on the turn and Marchese fired 41,000. Arieh made the call and the river fell 5. This time Arieh bet 40,000 but Marchese decided not to follow and tossed his cards into the muck.
