Dylan Foster Eliminated in 46th Place by Amin Riyazati ($12,200)

Level 19: 10,000 / 15,000 ante: 15,000

The second short stack in a row exits from table three. First to go is Amit Kaushik after a torrid second level and Dylan Foster then hits the rail against fellow Aussie Amin Riyazati, who currently leads the Player of the Festival ranking as well.

Foster jams for 105,000 and Riyazati in the big blind has not looked at his cards yet. He peels the first one, which is the K♠ and says "the first one is good". The second card is, too, as it's the K♦ .

Foster has a mountain to climb with J♦ T♦ and Riyazati flops a full house on the A♥ A♠ K♥ 9♦ 4♣ board.

"This is the last thing I want," Riyazati sighs before both embrace and part ways.

In three-way action to the K♠ 4♠ 2♣ J♦ T♥ river, Thi Bao An Nguyen bets 65,000 in the big blind. Ankit Ahuja raises to 190,000 from under the gun and Xin Yuan three-bets to 400,000. Nguyen folds and Ahuja jams, Yuan calls.

Nguyen exposes her Q♣ 9♦ for the bottom end of the straight, while Ahuja with A♣ Q♥ and Yuan with A♦ Q♦ both have broadway.

Dylan DeStefano Double Leaves Yunsheng Sun on Fumes

Level 15: 3,000 / 6,000 ante: 6,000

Dylan DeStefano

There is some uproar on table nine as a large pot unfolds between Yunsheng Sun and Dylan DeStefano. With some 175,000 in the middle to the Q♦ 8♣ 6♣ flop, DeStefano is all-in and at risk for 278,000 with the K♣ K♦ .

Sun has him barely covered and reveals the A♣ J♣ for the nut flush. Instead, Sun spikes the A♦ on the turn to take the lead and leave DeStefano on the verge of elimination very close to the money bubble.

One more twist to the story is to follow, as the river brings the K♥ and that is also the reason for the uproar.

Thi Bao An Nguyen

Action folds around to the small blind Takayuki Koga and he limps in. Big blind Thi Bao An Nguyen defends with a raise of 3300, Koga re-raises 8500, Nguyen calls.

When the flop comes 3♣ Q♠ Q♥ , more chips go flying. Koga bets 4000, Nguyen raises 9000, Koga makes it 20,000, Nguyen calls.

On the turn 8♠ , Koga shoves, Nguyen calls, and upon revealing, Koga has 3♠ 3♦ full house ahead of Nguyen's A♠ Q♣ trips. When the river lands 8♣ , Nguyen can't believe her luck as she spikes the higher full house to eliminate Koga.
