Two hands ago, Stan Quinn opened to 80,000 from the small blind, and Dan Black came along with a call from the big. The flop rolled out , and Quinn let Black take a stab at it. When he bet 115,000, though, Quinn check-raised to 230,000, and Black yielded to the raise.
On the last hand, Quinn raised to 80,000 under the gun, and Black was the only caller once again. The flop drew a continuation bet of 120,000 from Quinn, and Black once again surrendered.
The action folded around to the blinds where Michael Traylor completed from the small. In the big, Drew Caseri had just over 170,000 chips left, and he announced an all in. Traylor snap-called, and the cards were on their backs.
Showdown
Traylor:
Caseri:
The flop was in Caseri's neighborhood as it came to draw a big, "Yes!" from his lady friend on the rail as he pulled into a big lead with two to come. It's never easy, though. The turn gave Traylor the nine clubs to work with as well, and the river would come through for him. The river was one of his outs, and it was enough to eliminate Caseri in 5th place. That's good for more than $20,000.
Drew Caseri limped from under the gun. Behind him, Stan Quinn limped in from the cutoff seat. John McNeilly moved all in from the small blind for 437,000. After Michael Traylor folded in the big blind, Caseri tanked for a minute and then made the call. Quinn folded.
"You got a pair?" asked Caseri, waiting for McNeilly to table his hand. McNeilly nodded and showed the . Caseri took the chip off the top of his cards and then tabled the .
The board ran out and McNeilly smacked one of his two outs on the river to double up and crush Caseri down to 178,000 in chips. McNeilly doubled to 954,000 in chips.
Under the gun, Ned Mantua open-shoved his last 156,000 into the pot, and the table folded around to the blinds. In the small, Michael Traylor (still reeling from that last hand) asked, "How much is it?" with a bit of frustration in his voice. When he learned the number, he said, "All right. I call."
"I only looked at one card," Mantua said, turning up . Traylor knew he was behind from that statement, but his were drawing live for the knockout.
The flop came to pull Traylor into a big lead and leave Mantua drawing for his tournament life with two to come. The turn did nothing to help his cause, and the river was a blank as well.
With that, Ned Mantua has become our sixth-place finisher, taking home a pay bump up over $16,000 for his work over the last three days.
Stan Quinn limped in from the cutoff seat before Dan Black moved all in for 509,000. Michael Traylor reraised all in from the big blind. Quinn tanked for a couple minutes and then folded, leaving Black and Traylor heads up.
Traylor held the and was in a flip with the for Black, who had his tournament life on the line.
The flop came down and Black picked up a gutshot for a couple more outs. Problem was, Traylor had two of the tens he would need for that gutshot.
The turn brought the and added some more outs for Black. It took away the tens as outs, but gave him a chance to hit a king for a higher two pair meaning he gained an out in the process.
The river completed the board with the and smacked Black with the winning hand. He doubled to 1.087 million.
Michael Traylor raised to 65,000 and Drew Caseri moved all in for 404,000. Traylor made the call holding the . Caseri held the .
The flop, turn and river ran out and Caseri doubled to 877,000 in chips. Traylor was knocked back to about two million.
