Queen-Eight Suited Doesn’t Get There for Maiorana

Level 7: 500/1,000 (1,000)
Entries: 230/325

Rocco Maiorana opened for 7,500 from early position. Kanan Farzaliyev paused for a few moments from the small blind before he jammed for more than 70,000. Maiorana called off for more than 25,000 and the cards were turned over.

Rocco Maiorana: Q♦8♦
Kanan Farzaliyev: 9♦9♣

Maiorana didn’t get it in with the strongest hand but at least his queen was live from the start. However, he was unable to connect with the A♣5♣K♦2♠4♥ board and his chip stack went over to Farzaliyev.

Meanwhile, Totti Lind is giving the Grand Event another chance. He has his headphones on today and there hasn’t been any talk of Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie prop bets like there was with Lee Colfer on Day 1a. Lind has about double a starting stack near the end of Level 7.

Kanan Farzaliyev – 110,000
Totti Lind – 100,000
Rocco Mariorana – 0
