Stefanski Tries, Can't

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante

From the hijack seat, David Stefanski raised to 44,000, and Tyler Kenney defended his big blind to go heads up to the flop.

It came suited {9-Spades} {7-Spades} {2-Spades}, and it checked through to the {J-Diamonds} turn. Kenney took the lead now, firing out 52,000 before Stefanski raised to 133,000. Kenney called, and the {4-Clubs} filled out the board on the river. Kenney decided to take the betting lead again, and he made it 180,000 to go. Stefanski could not call, mucking his way down to 1.31 million.

Kenney flashed the {K-Spades}, and he is now hot on Stefanski's heels with 1.22 million. They've both still got a lot of work to do if they intend to track down the chip leader, though.

Philippe Plouffe Eliminated in 12th Place ($21,000)

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante
Philippe Plouffe - 12th place
Philippe Plouffe - 12th place

First in from the button, Steve O'Dwyer raised it up to 44,000. Tyler Kenney called in the small blind, but the action wasn't done yet. In the big, Philippe Plouffe squeezed his remaining 475,000 chips into the pot on a three-bet shove. Plouffe has been prone to shoving more so than the rest of the field today, a factor which O'Dwyer perhaps considered as he made the call for about 75% of his chips with {A-Spades} {9-Clubs}. Kenney ducked out, and Plouffe showed up his {8-Clubs} {10-Clubs}, at risk and trailing.

The {K-Clubs} {4-Spades} {J-Hearts} flop was an airball for Plouffe, and so was the {K-Hearts} turn. Looking for one of six outs but finding none, the river {7-Hearts} was close but no cigar for the at-risk player. Plouffe is thusly out in 11th place, and O'Dwyer will not go quietly. He was extremely short-stacked on Day 2, down to 20 big blinds again today, but he now finds himself sitting pretty in fourth place with 1.22 million.

Selbst Over Overton

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante
Vanessa Selbst
Vanessa Selbst

In the hijack seat, Vanessa Selbst opened to 40,000, and she called a 122,000-chip three-bet from big blind Aaron Overton.

Off they went to the {3-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {7-Clubs} flop, and Overton continued out with 202,000 chips. Selbst's response? An all-in shove over the top. Overton got the message and decided to save his last 390,000 chips for a better spot.

Selbst is closing in on another million milestone now; we count her just over 2.9 million.

Kenney and the Queens

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante

From the cutoff seat, Steve O'Dwyer opened to 48,000, and he called a three-bet to 115,000 from Tyler Kenney. Kenney was in position for the {A-Spades} {3-Spades} {9-Spades} flop, and both men checked to see the {8-Spades} turn. Check-check it went one more time, and O'Dwyer checked a third time on the {5-Hearts} river. Kenney took his cue to bet 125,000 at the pot, and O'Dwyer made the call to see what was what.

Kenney turned up {Q-Hearts} {Q-Spades} for the second nuts, and O'Dwyer mucked, slipping to 1.08 million. Kenney essentially traded stacks with his opponent on that hand, up to 1.45 million now.

Overton Slips; Fernandez Doubles

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante

Jacobo Fernandez raised to 40,000 from the small blind, and Aaron Overton shoved dark. Fernandez had {A-Spades} {K-Clubs}, and he quickly called all in for 199,000. Overton's {2-Clubs} {8-Clubs} wasn't much, but he did have two live cards with which to gun for the knockout.

The {7-Spades} {A-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} flop let Fernandez breathe a sigh of relief, and the turn {3-Clubs} and river {7-Hearts} allowed him to double up with aces up. He's back to 410,000 now, while the slide continues for Aaron Overton. It's been a tough day for the man who started Day 4 in second place, and he's left with just 140,000 chips now.

Break

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante

That's another level in the books, and our 11 remaining players are off for a 15-minute break. The next time you look, a fresh batch of chip counts will have magically appeared.

Hoglund Jr. Can't Shake Kenney

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante

On the last hand before the break...

Steve O'Dwyer opened to 48,000 from the cutoff seat, and Tyler Kenney flatted on the button. In the big blind, Thomas Hoglund Jr. squeezed in a raise to 140,000, and now only Kenney continued with another call.

Heads up, the two men took a {7-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} flop. Hoglund Jr. continued out with 150,000 more chips, and Kenney was right there with the call. The action repeated on the {4-Diamonds} turn with Kenney calling another 150,000, and both men checked the {5-Diamonds} river. Kenney showed {K-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} for top pair, and Hoglund Jr. mentioned something about making a move as he flashed his airball {3-Spades} {5-Clubs}. "The turn made it interesting," he said, but his chips didn't like that pot very much at all. He's left with 335,000 now, while Kenney climbs all the way up to 1.85 million.
