Ditrapani Gets a Three-Bet Past Herstein

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Gary Herstein raised to 205,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Nicola Ditrapani, who three-bet to 625,000 from the small blind.

Josh Reichard folded his big blind and action went back to Herstein, who thought for just under a half-minute before sending his cards to the muck.

Li Shen Eliminated in 7th Place ($19,161)

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Li Shen
Li Shen

Gerald Heath saw action folded to him in the small blind and he put Li Shen all in for his last 345,000. Shen called.

Li Shen: {a-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Gerald Heath: {6-Clubs}{3-Spades}

Shen was ahead going to the flop but quickly found himself in need of help as {7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Spades} came onto the board to give Heath two pair. Shen now would need to hit a six for a gutshot or running cards for a better two pair or trips. The turn {k-Clubs} and river {5-Spades} provided him no such help and he wound up finishing the tournament in seventh place.

Wai Ngai went all in for 830,000 from early position and saw Yao Yin reraise all in from middle position. All remaining players folded and the two were off to the races.

Wai Ngai: {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}
Yao Yin: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The flop came {8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}, giving Yin three more outs at a counterfeited two pair. The turn {j-Hearts} gave him four more outs to broadway. However, Ngai was able to stay on top as the river fell {5-Clubs} to complete the runout and leave his eights up as the best hand.
