Level 47 : 200,000/400,000, 50,000 ante

"Pete_444" limped from the cutoff with {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}. Michael "IHaveAsthma" Wasserman completed from the small blind with {6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and "shippp_it" opted to check it back from the big blind with {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}.

All three players checked the {9-Clubs}{4-Spades}{q-Hearts} flop before "shippp_it" bet 1.9 big blinds on the {7-Clubs} turn. "Pete_444" called and Wasserman folded.

The {10-Spades} completed the board on the river and "shippp_it" opted to check their top pair. "Pete_444" bet 7.1 big blinds and "shippp_it" called off for three-quarters of his stack to win the hand and chip up.

"Lucky1IJack" Elimianted in 9th Place ($1,294)

Level 44 : 125,000/250,000, 31,250 ante

There was an elimination and a cooler on the very first hand in play. "Lucky1IJack" jammed for 8.2 big blinds from the hijack. "andrey59" three-bet shoved for nearly triple as much from the small blind and it was heads-up action after "Pete_444" folded from the big blind.

"Lucky1IJack": {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
"andrey59": {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

"Lucky1IJack" appeared set to double their stack after their ace connected on the {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}{a-Clubs} flop and just needed to dodge two outs after the {7-Hearts} followed on the turn. However, the {j-Hearts} rained down on the river to improve "andrey59" to a full house and "Lucky1IJack" was ousted in ninth place for $1,294.
