Things haven't been going to well for Michael Perrone. Just now he lost another sizable pot. From middle position he raised it up to 50,000 and he pushed all in after Aditya Prasetyo had made it 125,000. Prasetyo made the call and it was clear that there was a cooler situation going on. Aditya Prasetyo tabled while Michael Perrone had a monster, though slightly smaller, of his own: .
No ace or other winning combination for Perrone with | | on the table. Perrone now slips into the danger zone, while Prasetyo has a lot more breathing room all of the sudden.
Though both tables are short handed, nothing much has happened. There's rarely a pot that goes further than the flop, and if it does it is checked down. The only active player is Paul Dasilva who has shoved all in a couple of times after someone else raised. No callers yet, no show downs.
Taras Kripps raised it up to 50,000 from the button and he called as Brian O'Donoghue made it 125,000 to go from the small blind. O'Donoghue would bet all the streets and Kripps would call all of them. O'Donoghue bet 80,000 on the flop, 145,000 on the turn and 175,000 on the river. Kripps called it off but had to muck as O'Donoghue showed for the nuts.
After Paul Dasilva limped under-the-gun for 20,000, Mike Jukich shoved all in for about 450,000 from the button. Robin Ylitalo, who started the day as chip leader but already lost a little bit, reshoved all in and Dasilva folded. Jukich tabled and was in trouble against Ylitalo's .
The board would make no impact on either player: | | and Jukich left the tournament just a couple of seconds before the first break.
Right after the big hand he lost against Barny Boatman, Frenchman Valentin Messina is busted from the tournament. He shoved all in for 114,000 under-the-gun and was looked up by Michael "Mike" perrone in the big blind. Messina had the better hand with but Perrone's would win the hand.
Till the river there was nothing going on but that last community card hit Perrone: | | . Messina takes home $24,449, all other players are guaranteed $31,153 at this point.
From middle position Valentin Messina raised it up to 40,000. Michael Quick made the call from the button and Barney Boatman joined the action from the small blind. The flop came and Boatman checked to Messina who made a 55,000 continuation-bet. This got rid of Quick but Boatman would put up a fight. The Brit made it 110,000 to go and called as Messina shoved all in. Boatman showed for flopped trips, while Messina had for two pair.
The on the turn and on the river did nothing for the Frenchman and Boatman received a full double-up. Boatman now plays a little shy off 1.2 million, while Messina is short with just six big blinds.
Valentin Messina raised it up to 40,000 under-the-gun and with Michael Quick still missing (bathroom break), action was quickly folded to Barny Boatman on the button. He made it 100,000 to go and action was on Van Tran in the small blind. He announced all in for 255,000 rather fast and the big blind and Messina folded immediately. Boatman laughed, like he was caught with his hand in the cookie jar, but eventually made the call because of the good prize he was getting.
"You had to have a pair?" Boatman laughed as Tran showed . Boatman himself would be fighting an uphill battle with the mere . "What?" Van Tran screamed. Some players at the table saw a bad beat coming but Tran was saved from that trauma in the making: | | .
Boatman gave himself, literally, a slap on the wrist, and continued with about 600,000 in chips.
