CHOMP!NG AT THE BIT: Recap of ESHC Final Table (Event #2) [3 of 3 posts]

40-minute rounds
Ante: 500
SB: 2,500
BB: 5,000

Updated Chip Counts

Seat 2) Justin Villa [T$320K]
Seat 3) Ryan D'Angelo [T$200K]
Seat 4) Ilya Dyment [T$112K]
Seat 6) Matt Gunter [T$125]
Seat 8) Anthony Moran [T$70K]

D'Angelo took down the blinds on the first hand of the next level.

Round 6: Once again, Villa (SB) and D'Angelo (BB) battled in blinds. The table deferred to the blinds. Villa called from the SB and D'Angelo raised to T$10K. Villa called the min raise. Flop: Qd-Tc-2s. Check by Villa. Bet (T$18K) by D'Angelo to win the pot.

D'Angelo continued to battle, this time from the SB, as he called and Dyment checked his option. The flop brought 9d-8c-5s and a T$13K bet from D'Angelo took down the pot.

From under-the-gun ("UTG"), Moran raised to T$13,500, Dyment reraised to T$60K, and Moran went all-in. Dyment called (from the SB).

Moran: QsQh
Dyment: AhKs

Flop: 6d-5h-Tc
Turn: 2h
River: 8s

Moran won the 158K pot to stay alive.

Every hand seemed to be a battle of the blinds as the rest of the table continued to fold. This time, not so. D'Angelo called from late position, Dyment folded the button, Gunter raised to T$13K from the SB, and Moran surrendered his BB. Flop: 6c-8s-3d. Gunter checked. D'Angelo takes a stab with T$20K to take down the pot.

Dyment showed some life with a preflop raise of T$17K to win the blinds. A couple of hands later, Dyment was in the BB and his only competion was D'Angelo in the SB. The flop of 3d-Kd-Qd went check/check. Turn: Ad. D'Angelo checked only to call Dyment's T$5K bet. River: As. Second verse, same as the first...D'Angelo check/called Dyment's bet of T$15K. D'Angelo turned over his card to reveal Kc6d for a flush. Dyment folded.

Villa took down the next round of blinds with a T$15K preflop bet.

Button moved to Dyment and D'Angelo raised to T$13K from late position. Dyment reraised all-in. Folds back to D'Angelo who called.

Dyment: JJ
D'Angelo: QQ

Flop: K-2-9
Turn: 5
River: K

5th place = Ilya Dyment

That pot made D'Angelo the chip leader with T$375K (approximately 45% of the chips in play).

Round 7: Pressing on, D'Angelo raised from UTG (T$13K) and only Villa called (from the BB). "Check dark," declared Villa. Flop: 3c-2h-Qd. A bet of T$20K won the pot for D'Angelo.

After an all-in and call, Gunter's 44 held up against D'Angelo's AsQs for a T$180+K pot.

Action was paused (18:28 remaining in the level) for a chip count.

Seat 2) Justin Villa [T$247K]
Seat 3) Ryan D'Angelo [T$331K]
Seat 6) Matt Gunter [T$189K]
Seat 8) Anthony Moran [T$131K]
