David Yan has been eliminated by Ami Alibay in 3rd place.

Action pre-flop was quite tame – David was on the button and made a small standard raise, Samuel folded and Ami called from the big blind. It went check-check on the flop of and check-check again on the turn of . The river brought out the for a straight on board and Ami, who easily covered David, shoved all-in. David didn’t really tank, but quickly (but resigned to the possibility of bad news) put his stack in the middle by way of a call. Ami flipped over for the higher straight and the win.

3rd place: David Yan, $49,470.00

There are just three players left in the High Roller tournament (aka Event 4), and they have unbagged their chips and are just about ready to play out the final stages of the event.

The pay jumps from 3rd to 2nd to 1st place are huge, so there’s still a lot to play for.

Good luck to all three players – Ami, David, and Samuel.

There are just three players left in the event but the scheduled ending point of 10 levels played today has arrived and the players have decided to call it a night and return tomorrow to play to the end. It has been a gruelling day of poker and everyone is visibly fatigued.

When they return tomorrow they’ll take the same seats and re-start play at 1pm with the following stacks that have been bagged up for storage.

1. Ami Alibay – 170K
2. David Yan – 248K
3. Samuel Chartier – 593K

The TD moved up the next scheduled break by 5 minutes and the players have moved to their new seats and gone on break. Chip counts are approximate.

We missed the action but Sylvain Siebert has been eliminated in 11th place in the High Roller Event. Sylvain, who was crippled a few minutes earlier by Sam Chartier, had picked up a few chips since then, but still was all in for just around 25K. Ankush Mandavia was the player who took Sylvain out, and the tournament is just one spot away from a final table.

John Andress has been eliminated in 15th place. He open raised all-in his last (approx) 15K and was promptly called by Timothy Adams, who has in one of the current chip leaders in the tournament.

The community cards were no help for John: and his tournament was over.
