Terence Beaman Eliminated in 4th Place ($8,075)

David Salituro

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Terence Beaman raised to 60,000 under the gun and Brandon Mueller called on the button. Danny Chang then three-bet to 125,000 in the big blind, and both opponents called.

The flop came 5♠5♦3♥ and Chang bet 100,000. Beaman moved all in for 260,000, and Mueller reraised to 750,000. Chang tanked for a few minutes until giving up his hand.

Terence Beaman: A♠K♠10♠4♥ All in
Brandon Mueller: 8♥7♥7♠5♥

Mueller had flopped trips to take the lead, while Beaman was on a straight draw. The K♥ turn gave him more outs, but he missed the 3♣ river as Mueller took the pot to send Beaman to the rail in fourth place.

Mark Aridgides potted to 105,000 under the gun and Brandon Mueller called in the big blind.

Mark Aridgides: 9♠8♥7♦6♦ All in
Brandon Mueller: A♥6♥6♣4♠

Mueller had the nut flush draw against the wrap of Aridgides, who made his straight on the 3♣ river. Aridgides still needed to dodge a heart, which he was able to do on the 2♣ river, securing the double.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Terence Beaman limped in from the button as action went on Brandon Mueller in the small blind. He took a peek at Mark Aridgides stack in the big blind. "Not much of it left," Aridgides said while pretending to cover it up.

Mueller ended up raising to 120,000 and Aridgides folded, while Beaman reraised to 390,000. Mueller called, and they saw a flop of J♠Q♥6♥.

Mueller then bet 500,000, and Beaman quickly folded. Mueller showed A♠K♥9♥ as he took the pot.

"Let's chop. One-time offer," Aridgides joked.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Brandon Mueller limped on the button, Mark Aridgides completed from the small blind, and Danny Chang checked his option in the big blind.

On the 9♥8♥8♣ flop, it checked to Mueller who bet 55,000 and only Chang called.

Chang check-called another bet on the 2♦ turn for 180,000.

On the 10♦ river, Chang opted to lead for 115,000, and Mueller flicked in the call after some deliberation. Chang tabled K♠K♣J♦9♠ for two pair, kings and eights, and Mueller could not beat it.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Danny Chang limped in from under the gun and Mark Aridgides checked his option.

The flop came K♦K♣4♣ and Chang bet 35,000. Aridgides then raised to 165,000, and Chang called.

Aridgides bet another 200,000 on the Q♥ turn, and Chang again called. The river was the A♦ and Aridgides checked to Chang, who bet 280,000.

Aridgides went deep into the tank for several minutes. "This is the longest I've taken all tournament," he said.

"Take your time," Terence Beaman told him. Aridgides eventually called, and Chang showed A♠K♥7♣6♣ for a full house to win the big pot.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Brandon Mueller opened to 80,000 from the cutoff and was called by Mario Damiao on the button and Mark Aridgides in the small blind. In the big blind, Danny Chang squeezed to 275,000. Mueller folded, Damiao jammed for 490,000 total, Aridgides folded, and Chang called.

Mario Damiao: K♠Q♦J♥4♦ All in
Danny Chang: A♠A♦Q♣10♣

Damiao needed some help to stay alive as the A♣J♣4♥ flop did not support his cause, giving Chang top set and a flush draw, while Damiao did have a broadway gutter. However, the 4♣ turn gave Chang top boat, leaving Damiao with just one out, which did not come on the 10♦ river and he was eliminated.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action was checked to the turn on a board of 4♠8♣A♠7♠ in a four-way pot when Mario Damiao bet 60,000 from the button. Only Terence Beaman called under the gun.

The river was the 7♥ and Damiao bet 100,000. Beaman again called.

"Nines," Damiao said.

"I can beat nines," Beaman said, turning over J♠J♥10♠2♥ for a flush to win the pot.

"I've had enough. I'm going to the Big O," Damiao said as he potted to 105,000 the next hand, but he received no callers.
