Ali Imsirovic Down to Last Chip
Ali Imsirovic raised to 12,000 in the cutoff and Justin Bonomo called in the big blind.
The flop landed [7d6hJh] and Bonomo checked to Imsirovic who bet 11,000. Bonomo called, and when the turn landed the [6c], Bonomo bet out 12,000.
Imsirovic raised to 35,000 and Bonomo called as the [Ac] landed on the river.
Bonomo checked, Imsirovic bet 93,000 leaving himself just 1,000 behind, and Bonomo called.
Imsirovic tabled his [AsKh] for aces-up, but it would be Bonomo’s [Ad7c] for a better aces-up that would earn him the pot.

Brandon Adams Eliminated by Ali Imsirovic
After action folded all the way around at Table 2 Brandon Adams jammed his short stack — 65,000 — in the small blind. In the big blind sat Ali Imsirovic, barely covering Adams with 66,000 chips of his own. Imsirovic made the call and had Adams dominated:
Imsirovic: [Qh8s]

The flop: [4c9s7d]
Turn: [7c]
River: [5h]

Justin Bonomo Strikes Doubles Against Keith Tilston
David Peters raised to 15,000 on the button and Justin Bonomo moved all in from the small blind for 123,000. Keith Tilston called in the big blind, and Peters folded.
Bonomo: [AhTs]
Tilston: [AdJd]
Bonomo was at-risk and at a disadvantage against the defending champion until the flop landed [8cTdQd] to give him the lead.
The [8d] on the turn thrusted the advantage to Tilston’s favor turning a flush, but when the [8s] completed the board on the river, Bonomo improved to a full house to double through.

Ali Imsirovic Wins Showdown
This hand had all the making of fireworks with the pre-flop action, but it didn’t materialize as such.
Sam Soverel raised under the gun to 12,000, leaving only Ali Imsirovic to defend his big blind. He made the call with about 80,000 behind and the two went to a flop.
After that, both players waved the white flag, checking [JsTh8s2cAc] all the way down. Imsirovic tabled his hand first, showing [Ah6d]. Soverel took a look at his opponent’s hand, glanced back at the board, and then mucked his cards.
