After Jeff Madsen was moved into the Amazon Purple section, the action folded to him in the cutoff and he moved all in for 111,000 and picked up the blinds and antes.
On the next hand, Madsen shoved for 145,000 in the hijack and again won the blinds and antes, before he would opt not to do so on the third consecutive hand and instead just fling his cards to the muck.
Action folded to Brian Roberts in the small blind and he put in a raise. Patrick Coughlin responded by shoving all in from the big for 195,000, and Roberts opted to make the call.
Coughlin:
Roberts:
Coughlin got it in good, but Roberts was drawing to two live cards. The flop was safe enough for Coughlin, and so was the turn. All he needed to do was dodge a king and nine on the river, but he couldn't do it as the spiked. Coughlin rapped the table and then made a quick exit from the tournament floor.
We picked up the acton on a flop with Joseph Dipascale all in for his last 265,000 against Todd Rebello.
Rebello:
Dipascale:
Dipascale had flopped top pair, but it was no good as Rebello made top two pair. Neither the turn nor river changed a thing, and that was all she wrote for Dipascale.
We saw the ESPN tables swarming Table 381, so we made our way over to see what all the fuss was about. We discovered that Mark Newhouse, who made the final table of this event last year, was involved in ab ig pot against Munir Shahin. We're not sure how the action played out, but we do know Shahain was all in for 600,000 or so on a flop of .
Shahin:
Newhouse:
"I've been unlucky against you," Shahin said as the cameras rolled. The dealer then burned and turned the , a safe card for Shahin. All he needed to do to double was dodge an ace and spade on the river, but he couldn't do it as the spiked.
"Back to back?" someone at the other end of the table asked Newhouse.
"Yeah, that's the plan," he said with a big smile as he stacked the pot. Meanwhile, Shahin made his way to the payout desk to collect $38,634 for his 244th-place finish.
Michael Schwartz raised all in for his last 172,000 from middle position and found a call from Mikiyo Aoki on the button. The blinds ditched their cards and the hands were turned over.
Schwartz:
Aoki:
The board ran down , giving Schwartz a winning set of eights. He scored the double and now has 380,000.
Andrey Zaichenko opened with a raise to 25,000 from middle position, and Matt Waxman called on the button. In the big blind was Nick Yunis, and he called as well to see the flop come down . After Yunis and Zaichenko checked, Waxman bet 33,000. Yunis called, then Zaichenko called.
The turn was the , and action checked around to see the pair the board on the river. Yunis and Zaichenko checked, then Waxman bet 66,000. Yunis check-raised to 202,000, and this sent Zaichenko deep into the tank for a minute or two. He eventually folded, but then it was Waxman's turn to tank. He thought for several minutes before finally Kyle Ho called the clock.
The floor staff arrived at the table, issued to 60-second clock to Waxman, and then began to 10-second countdown when it was reached. Waxman couldn't decide in time, and his cards were swiped away from him and into the muck. Yunis won the pot and moved to 1.46 million in chips. Waxman was clipped back to 1.263 million.
Below are the full chip counts after the hand from Table 428.
