Jeff Duvall shoved in for 185,000 from the cutoff after Jake Bazeley opened the hijack to 45,000. Bazeley shook his head and called after counting out the requisite chips.

Bazeley: {a-Clubs}{7-Spades}

The board ran out {9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{q-Spades}{j-Spades}{q-Hearts}, no help to Bazeley.

Brandon Steven increased his stack threefold since the last time we counted. We found him in a hand with Andy Hwang on a board of {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{7-Hearts}. Hwang checked. Steven bet 37,000 and Hwang called. The turn came the {3-Hearts} and both players checked. The river came the {10-Clubs}. Hwang bet 58,000 and Steven raised to 200,000.

Hwang thought for a bit, rechecked his hole cards and mucked - giving the sizable pot to Steven.

Ector Takes Three-Way All In

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

We came upon the aftermath of a three-way all in that left David Lopez busted and Greg Fishberg on life support. Lopez had {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} in front of him and Fishberg {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}, but Ben Ector's {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} had crushed both on a king-high runout. Ector had 322,000, enough to cover Lopez and take nearly all of Fishberg's stack.

Fishberg was eliminated moments later.
