The Eliminations Keep on Coming
Benedetto Bianco was eliminated with a short stack when his 7♣6♣ had a flush draw on the K♣J♣8♥ flop to gain more equity against the 2♠2♣ of Darren Elias. The 2♦ turn gave Elias a set and the 9♦ river was a blank.
On the same table, Charles Hook then re-entered.
What followed was a massive clash between Robert Ozello and Lewis Esposito. On a board of K♦9♠2♦, the chips went into the middle for the largest pot of the tournament so far.
Robert Ozello: A♠K♥
Lewis Esposito: 9♦9♥
The 8♥ turn and 10♦ river completed the board and they counted the stacks. Esposito covered by a small margin to send Ozello to the rail.
On the same table, Matthew Zambanini was then knocked out by Benjamin Duronio to bring the field down further in a frantic last level of the night.
Cleveland Richards also doubled when his 5♦5♥ for a turned flush held against the K♠Q♠ of Gregory Bauer on a board of J♦6♥4♠5♠2♣.
