Bradley Jenson moved his short stack into the middle and got two callers in Nick Marsh and Jason Trezak.

The flop came {8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. Trezak bet 200,000 and was called by Marsh.

The turn was the {10-Spades}. Marsh moved all in and started to pre-celebrate "got it! Let's go" as Trezak played with his cards openly and flashed pocket aces before folding.

Marsh turned over {j-}{10-} and the river came the {j-Spades} to eliminate Jensen in 11th place on the final table bubble as he only had {q-}{5-}.

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Darryl Ozias
Darryl Ozias

Darryl Ozias, who entered the day with a measly;y 9,000 and considered not even making the drive from Ames to come play today has been staying alive and made already made two pay jumps.

He moved all in preflop with his short stack and got called by both blinds. The board ran out {5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} as the other two players checked it down.

Despite there being 4 hearts on board none of the three players possessed a heart and Ozais turned over the {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} which was good enough to be the winner to give him a triple up and continue his survival.

Action was on the turn with a pot of about 60,000 in the middle. The board read {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{k-Hearts}. Marquez Davis bet 23,000 from the cutoff after it had been checked to him my Michael Esquivel from early position. Esquivel then cut out chips from his stack and made a raise to 64,000. Davis called after a few seconds.

The river came an innocuous looking {2-Clubs}. Esquivel checked and Davis checked behind after a few moments of thought.

Esquivel turned over the {10-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Davis revealed the {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} to take down the pot.
