Danny Freitas looked like he had everything under control for long stretches of play today, but after a couple of rough hands, he called Natalia Nogina’s open shove holding a strong pocket pair – – only to find himself in dire straits when Natalia hit her on the turn. He didn’t improve on the river (the flop had been no help – ) and that was the end of Danny’s tournament.
The tournament is now paused as the players have asked the tournament staff for ICM chop numbers.
6th place: Danny Freitas, $22,000
