Action of the Day
By the time late registration closed there were 37 players remaining out of a field of 157 entries with 20 guaranteed at least a min-cash of $15,805 in addition to any bounties snagged along the way.
Before long,
Ottomar Ladva eliminated jakedini on the bubble and the action was in the money. Ladva had a stack after this hand but couldn t hang on until the final table.
Dario Sammartino also made it far but just missed out on the final table when his ace-queen didn t hold against Rolle s ace-seven suited.
Final Table Action
The final table began with Rolle as the table captain and eventual champion Martirosian in third place. Very soon into the action, Jouhkimainen ousted Derzhypilskiy in ninth place, and very shortly after that, Martirosian had his first final table lead.
