7

, and Schwartz made a bet. Coleman called all in for his last few thousand chips while Giannetti got out of the way. Schwartz turned over 88 for the overpair while Coleman showed A
Q. Coleman would need some help on the turn and/or river to stay alive. The turn was the J and the river was the 10, no help to Casey Coleman who was eliminated in 10th place ($7,508).
Alex Triner Doubles Through Chip Leader
Sergey Rybachenko came in for a pre-flop raise from under the gun and made two callers out of Alex Triner and John Strzemp. The flop came AK5, and Rybacheno bet 135,000. Triner called, Strzemp folded. The 4 hit the turn and Rybachenko fired out 275,000. Triner reraised all in for roughly 400,000 more and Rybachenko tanked for a minute before making the call. Triner turned over AQ for top pair, top kicker while Rybachenko showed A10 for top pair with a weaker kicker. Rybachenko could win the pot with a ten on the river or split the pot if the board pairs the five or the four, otherwise Triner would double up. The river was the 9 and Alex Triner doubled through the chip leader to over 1,000,000 in chips.
