The hand happened just a few seconds after Luongo’s big win and happened so fast that we missed the action but Azim “Sammy” Popatia has been eliminated in 6th place after losing his stack to Vi Thanh Tony To aka “Gameboy”. This vaulted “Gameboy” into the chip lead over Luongo and Sammy added a 6th place finish to his 4th place finish in a similar event here at Playground a few months ago.
Players are now on a 15 minute break as tournament staff removes the yellow T1000 chips from play.
6th place: Azim Popatia, $9,900
