Seymour Knocked Out by Vitch

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Richard Seymour
Richard Seymour

Over on the right hand feature table, Richard Seymour three-bet jammed for around 450,000 out of the blinds and initial raiser Christopher Vitch quickly called with the covering stack.

Richard Seymour: A?J?
Christopher Vitch: 6?6?

The A?6?2? flop left Seymour on the ropes but he gained some unlikely outs with the 2? turn. However, the miracle escape never happened for the NFL Hall of Fame member and he bowed out inside the top 300 spots.

Torelli Holds On to Send Out Two

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Alec Torelli
Alec Torelli

Rami Boukai was all in from the small blind for around 560,000 and Alec Torelli then reshoved in middle position. Matthew Davis in the hijack took off the dinosaur he uses as a card protector and stood up from his seat before announcing he was all in for around 1,500,000.

Rami Boukai: A?K?
Matthew Davis: A?K?
Alec Torelli: 10?10?

Torelli jumped from his seat upon seeing he was up against two players with the same hand and began filming the action as the flop came 2?4?J?.

"Somebody's got to have a club," Torelli said heading to the 4? turn. "Pair the board," he pleaded, and Torelli saw the Q? fell on the river as his tens held up to send both opponents to the rail.

"Go for the glory, right," Davis, who was playing in his first Main Event, said.

"You should be proud," tablemate Daniel Vampan told him.

"I am. There is no part of me right now that is upset," Davis replied before joining Boukai at the payout desk.

"That was the perfect setup. When he started tanking I thought he had jacks," Torelli added.

Mizukami Doubles, Guagenti Gone

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Kojiro Mizukami
Kojiro Mizukami

Manuel Pochat raised to 60,000 from the cutoff and Kojiro Mizukami called from the small blind. Big blind David Sebesfi also came along and the trio saw a flop of K?K?J?.

The action checked to Pochat and he put out a tiny bet of 35,000. Mizukami then raised to 125,000 and Sebesfi got out of the way. Pochat put in the extra chips and a 4? turn was dealt.

Mizukami slowed down with a check and Pochat again bet tiny, this time for 75,000. Mizukami then came up with a double check-raise, this time for his entire stack of 305,000.

Pochat tanked for a couple of minutes but eventually called with a sigh.

Kojiro Mizukami: K?Q?
Manuel Pochat: 9?8?

Mizukami had already locked up the pot with this trips kings and he breathed a sigh of relief. The meaningless 4? river upgraded him to a full house, and he raked in the double-up to be back over one million chips.

During the hand, Nick Guagenti got his final 190,000 chips in from the button and Yu Tang called from the big blind. Guagenti's Ax3x could not win against Tang's Qx9x and he left the tournament area distraught.

Jordan Westmorland
Jordan Westmorland

Heads-up on a flop of 4?2?10?, Michael Duek bet 75,000 from the cutoff and Jordan Westmorland called in the big blind.

The turn came the J? and Westmorland checked over to Duek again, who then bet 300,000. Westmorland called to the A? river and checked for a third time.

Duek then slid forward a tower of green 25,000 chips for a bet of 600,000 and Westmorland nearly beat him into the pot with a call. Duek had K?J? for a pair of jacks, but Westmorland turned over A?2? for two pair on the river. Westmorland, who survived an all in on the bubble yesterday, took the pot to climb over 6,000,000.

Pei Li, Charles He, and Charlie Chiu went three-handed to the 7?Q?J? flop where all three players checked.

The river came the K? and He led out for 80,000. Li came back with a raise to 330,000 and He tanked for about a minute before calling.

Li showed J?9? for a pair of jacks, but He had A?J? and took the pot with his ace-kicker.

"Were you value betting or bluffing," Chiu asked Li following the hand.

Rigby Calls Turn Card, Coolers Kornuth to Near Chip Lead

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Chance Kornuth Eliminated By Nick Rigby
Chance Kornuth Eliminated By Nick Rigby

Nicholas Rigby opened to 100,000 on the button and Chance Kornuth, who had just moved to the feature table after a table break, three-bet to 385,000 from the big blind. Rigby responded with a four-bet jam and Kornuth called off for around 3,100,000.

Chance Kornuth: A?K?
Nicholas Rigby: A?A?

Kornuth had a premium holding but Rigby didn't have the "Dirty Diaper" this time. Rigby had aces and kept the lead as the flop landed and innocuous J?2?9?.

"Four of diamonds," Rigby said quietly as he sweated the turn card. Rigby then jumped in the air as the dealer put down the 4? on the turn.

"Let's go!" he cheered as he ran to his rail.

Kornuth, who has had a fantastic summer that has included multiple high-roller final table appearances, was drawing stone dead before the 10? bricked off on the river to earn Rigby the massive pot.

"We got no beef with him!" someone on Rigby's rail yelled.

"Yeah, no beef," Rigby before shaking Kornuth's hand.

Rigby has been chip leader at multiple points throughout the tournament and appears to be near that same position with a stack of around 7,000,000.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Raj Vohra
Raj Vohra

Raj Vohra opened 75,000, and Arthur Souza De Campos defended the big blind.

The dealer spread a pot of Q?9?3?, and De Campos check-called a bet of 75,000.

The Q? paired the board, and De Campos check-called once again, this time for 125,000.

When the Q? hit the river, De Campos checked for a final time and Vohra fired a bet of 350,000, which was enough for De Campos to surrender the pot.

Shortly after, De Campos was seen walking to the payout desk.

Anirban Das opened to 65,000 from the cutoff and Chance Kornuth and Jeremy Becker called in the blinds.

Kornuth and Becker checked on the flop of J?8?4? and Das continued for 75,000. Only Kornuth called. Kornuth checked on the 3? turn and Das checked back.

The 10? river completed the board and Kornuth, in a Chip Leader Coaching hoodie and behind a pair of aviators, bet a massive 355,000 for nearly the size of the pot. Das called. Kornuth turned over A?K? for ace-high and Das tabled Q?8? to win the pot with a pair of eights.
