Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Luke Martinelli
Luke Martinelli

Alexander Farahi opened to 175,000 from middle position and was called by Leandro Vlastaris from the hijack. Luke Martinelli moved all in for 740,000 from the small blind and only Farahi called.

Luke Martinelli: {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Alexander Farahi: {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

"I'm in good shape, I only lose this about 15% of the time," said the at risk player to his rail.

The {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop put Farahi in the lead but the {10-Spades} turn gave Martinelli outs to the flush and the straight. The {4-Clubs} completed the board and Martinelli became the latest Day 3 casualty.

Dave Stefanski opened to 120,000 from the cutoff before Luke Martinelli jammed for 280,000 from the small blind. David Miscikowski made it 560,000 in the big blind and Stefanski called.

Stefanski bet the {j-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop and Miscikowski quickly mucked. Stefanksi had the {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} for a big combo draw while Martinelli was still ahead with his {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}. The {10-Diamonds} turn helped neither, but the {k-Spades} river gave Martinelli Broadway to survive elimination.
