Fett's Set Brings End For Dominski

Paul Dominski has been eliminated in 21st place after Robert Fett opened the action with a raise to 42,000 from under the gun. Jim McClain called in the small blind before Dominski moved all in for 385,000. Fett made the call as McClain got out of the way.

Fett: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Dominski: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

The board landed {4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Fett spikes a set to eliminate Dominski and move up to 930,000 chips.

Jeremy Joseph Busts at the Break

Jeremy Joseph
Jeremy Joseph
We caught this hand on the flop when Jeremy Joseph check-raised all-in for nearly 400,000 and got called by Mark Salinaro.

Joseph showed {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for an over-pair on a flop of {4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{8-Hearts} while Salinaro held {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} and made a pair when the {Q-Hearts} came on the turn. The {7-Clubs} on the river ended the hand and Salinaro now has 1,580,000 chips.

Bruce Vandervort's Day is Done

Kam Low
Kam Low
Kam Low made it 57,000 to go from the cutoff and Bruce Vandervort made his stand from the small blind, pushing all in for 170,000. Low made the call and we were off to the races, as he showed {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} versus Vandervort's {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}.

The door card was a dagger for Vandervort as the flop came {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}, and he failed to hit either of his two outs on the next streets, as the board ran out {6-Spades}{J-Hearts}.

The win puts Low's stack at more than 1.3 million.

Same Hands, Two Different Results

Tom Koral is the latest to head to the cashier after his pocket eights fell to the {A-?}{4-?} of Phillip Souza when an ace spiked on the flop.

Meanwhile Gary Tang had a little more success with the same cards as his pocket eights held on against the {A-?}{4-?} of Jerry Fowler when the board produce {5-Clubs}{4-Spades}{9-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{5-Spades}. Fowler slips to just 80,000 as Tang now sits with over 750,000 chips.

Jim McClain Cracks Aces - Jesse Fulmer Goes Bust

Jesse Fulmer pushed his stack in preflop from early position and got called by Jim McClain on the button.

Fulmer turned over {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds} and thought he was well ahead of McClain's {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}, especially when Robert Fett told the table he'd folded {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}.

It didn't seem to matter, however, as McClain caught the case 10 on a flop of {10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. When the turn and river came {4-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}, Fulmer made the walk to the cage.

Jason Riesenberg Triples Up

Clint Miller raised to 55,000 from late position and Francois Safieddine re-raised all in from the button. Jason Riesenberg shoved his remaining stack in over the top, and Miller called.

Before the flop, the players showed:

Miller - {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Safieddine - {2-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Riesenberg - {A-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

When the board ran out, Safieddine couldn't make a hand while Risenberg took the main pot of 255,000 after making a straight on a board of {5-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}. Miller, who had both of his opponents covered before the flop, fell back to 500,000.

Brian McInnis Doubles Up

We picked this hand up after a flop of {9-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{4-Spades} when Brian McInnis pushed all in and got called by Tom Koral.

McInnis showed {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for a set while Koral was drawing thin with {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. The {J-Spades} on the turn brought some outs, but the {2-Clubs} on the river didn't deliver and Koral's stack fell to 103,000 while McInnis doubled to 500,000.
