Busquet Loses Flip for Big Chunk of Stack

Level 21 : 8,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Olivier Busquet opened for 30,000 from the button and then called when Shiraz Hasan moved all in for 323,000 from the big blind.

Olivier Busquet: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Shiraz Hasan: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

It was a race but not after the flop fell {k-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{5-Clubs} to pair Hasan. Neither the {8-Spades} turn nor {10-Clubs} river helped Busquet and he sent a large portion of his stack across the table.

Jessica Dawley Eliminated in 9th Place ($4,142)

Level 21 : 8,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Jessica Dawley
Jessica Dawley

Jessica Dawley moved all in for 167,000 from the cutoff and Olivier Busquet called from the button. Both blinds folded and the cards were turned up.

Jessica Dawley: {a-Spades}{2-Hearts}
Olivier Busquet: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Dawley was in a world of hurt and failed to find any help on the {j-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop. The {10-Hearts} turn gave her a heart flush draw but it didn't come in as the {7-Diamonds} bricked on the river.

Hamid Izadi Eliminated in 10th Place ($2,959)

Level 21 : 8,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Hamid Izadi
Hamid Izadi

Hamid Izadi and Chris O'Neil had been tangling as of late with the latter getting the better of the tussle, which included a full double.

Soon after, Izadi got his stack of roughly 415,000 all in preflop and was in a bad spot against O'Neil.

Chris O'Neil: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Hamid Izadi: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

Izadi was in desperate need of a nine, but he was left wanting as the board ran out an unhelpful {4-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}.

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Justin Liberto
Justin Liberto

Three took to a flop that came down {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}, accumulating a pot that was around 60,000. Justin Liberto saw the action land on him and he bet 38,000.

Christian Harder was the only opponent to call and the {6-Hearts} then peeled off as a turn card. Liberto moved all in for a total of 142,000 and Harder hit the tank for several minutes.

Ultimately Harder called, tabling {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} for top pair with a flush and straight draw. Liberto turned over {q-Clubs}{j-Spades} for top two and needed to dodge to stay alive.

The {10-Spades} completed the board, hitting Harder with a straight as Liberto was sent packing in eleventh place.

Liberto Doubles with the Old Jack-Four

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action folded to Justin Liberto on the button and he moved all in for 84,000, which Christian Harder called from the small blind.

Harder: {a-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}
Liberto: {j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

Liberto needed some help and got it when the {6-Spades}{k-Hearts}{j-Clubs} flop paired his jack. The {2-Diamonds} turn and {j-Hearts} river improved him to trips and he doubled through Harder.

Hasan Doubles Through Liberto

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Olivier Busquet opened for 25,000 under the gun and Shiraz Hasan three-bet all in for 95,000 from the cutoff. Justin Liberto then four-bet jammed for 170,000 from the button, both blinds released, and Busquet folded what he claimed were pocket eights.

Hasan: {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Liberto: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The board ran out {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{a-Spades} and Hasan doubled with trip aces. Had Busquet actually held eights and called, he would've score a double elimination.
