Noah Bronstein moved all-in for 178,000 from early position and Dietrich Fast shoved/isolated from the big blind with KsQh. Jared Jaffee released his big blind and Bronstein tabled AcTs.

Fast hit one of his live cards on the Kc9h3s flop and Bronstein couldn’t catch up as the board completed TcJd to send him out in 15th.

Noah Bronstein – Eliminated in 15th place ($49,640)

Ben Zamani
Ben Zamani

Ben Zamani opened to 36,000 from early position. Giuseppe Pantaleo called from the cutoff and Aditya Prasetyo came along from the big blind.

Th9h7h

Prasetyo checked as did Zamani. Pantaleo bet 44,000. Prasetyo quickly got out of the way sending the action to Zamani. He called and they were heads up to the turn.

Th9h7hAd

Zamani checked. Pantaleo bet 108,000. Zamani called and it was off to the river.

Th9h7hAdJh

Zamani checked a third time. Pantaleo sat still, taking his time before reaching into his stack and betting 271,000. Zamani’s stack totaled 287,000 and he was noticeably uncomfortable with the bet. He agonized over the decision for a few minutes before calling. Pantaleo flipped over KhQh for a straight flush and Zamani, disgusted, showed Ah3c for an ace-high flush. He was left with 16,000 chips and busted 16th the very next hand.

Giuseppe Pantaleo – 1,377,000 (86 bb)
Ben Zamani – Eliminated in 16th place ($41,070)

Jared Jaffee doubles through Bryan Piccioli
Jared Jaffee doubles through Bryan Piccioli

Seminole Hard Rock Poker Team Member Jared Jaffee was in the big blind facing off against Bryan Picciolo. The board was Qc6h5c8c and action was on Piccioli who put out a bet of 200,000 — enough to put Jaffee all-in. After a minute or two, Jaffee plopped a few chips in the pot and flipped over JcQs for top pair. Piccioli was caught with second best flipping over Jd8d for a pair of eights.

The river fell the Td and Team Member Jaffee earned the double.

Jared Jaffee – 561,000 (35 bb)
Bryan Picciolo – 328,000 (20 bb)

Finale Day 3: Jon Turner – 17th Place ($41,070)

$10,000 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Finale 
Level 20: 8,000/16,000 with a 2,000 ante
Players Remaining: 16 of 342
Average Stack: 855,000 (53 bb)

Jon Turner, who’s been short as of late, got all-in preflop holding Ad3d against Dietrich Fast’s AsQs. Turner was at risk and drawing slim.

A KhQh6s flop caused Turner to stand and gather his thing. The turn 4h and river Kd didn’t change anything in the hand and Turner hit the rail 17th good for $41,070. Fast, meanwhile, sits on a stack of 1,265,000 chips.

Dietrich Fast – 1,265,000 (79 bb)
Jon Turner – Eliminated in 17th place ($41,070)

Anthony Zinno doubles up again
Anthony Zinno doubles up again

Anthony was in the small blind and at risk against Giuseppe Pantaleo in late position. Pantaleo held the advantage in the counts and in the hands as with KcKd to Zinno’s AsQc.

The flop smacked Zinno, falling AhQh5d improving him to two pair. The turn Td and the river 7d didn’t change a thing and Zinno doubled through Pantaleo.

Anthony Zinno – 686,000 (42 bb)
Giuseppe Pantaleo – 445,000 (37 bb)
