Bronstein Busts

Level 26 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

On the final hand before break George Bronstein moved all in for 119,000 from the small blind. Bobby "Shooter" Hempkins called from the big blind and the hands were opened.

Bronstein: {j-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}
Hempkins: {7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

Hempkins was behind, but the {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop gave him two pair. The {7-Diamonds} on the turn filled him up making the {8-Spades} on the river a meaningless card.

Bronstein busted in 20th place and Hempkins is up to 750,000 chips,

Snowden Out

Level 26 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Daniel Snowden opened to 80,000 from early position and Robert Cheung called in the big blind. The flop fell {5-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Cheung checked to Snowden who shoved for around 350,000. Cheung called.

Snowden: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Cheung: {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

Snowden was dominated and did not catch an eight on either the turn ({9-Diamonds}) or the river ({7-Clubs}), eliminating him in 21st place.

Cheung is now up over a million chips.

Eash: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Pagne: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran {3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{q-Spades}{7-Hearts} and Eash was eliminated in 23rd place. Pagne is now up to 400,000 chips.

Watson Catches Hymel's Bluff, Busts Her

Level 26 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

There was about 500,000 in the middle and the board read {3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{10-Hearts} when Elizabeth Hymel moved all in for 413,000. Andrew Watson went deep in the tank, but eventually called.

Hymel: {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Watson: {q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}

Hymel was bluffing, but still had two overs and could make a better pair. The {10-Diamonds} on the river did not improve her hand however, and she was eliminated in 24th place for $8,308.

Watson added to his massive stack and now has 1.8 million chips.

Haynes Doubles Through Cheung

Level 26 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Victor Haynes moved all in for 195,000 from middle position and Robert Cheung called in the cutoff seat. The button and blinds released and the hands were shown down.

Haynes: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Cheung: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Cheung wasn't ahead for long because the {8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{10-Clubs} flop gave Haynes a leading pair of tens. The {4-Diamonds} on the turn was a brick and so too was the {5-Spades} on river, doubling Haynes to 458,000 chips and dropping Cheung to 680,000.

The board ran {7-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Burns was eliminated in 25th place.

Gibralter is now up to 1.27 million chips.

Marcum Out

Level 26 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Dennis Marcum moved all in for just 50,000 and Elizabeth Hymel made the call.

Marcum's {k-Spades}{4-Spades} was crushed by Hymel's {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} and did not improve on the {7-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} board.

Marcum was eliminated in 26th place while Hymel is up to 610,000 chips.

Big Stacks Do Battle

Level 26 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Shallum Lynch opened to 55,000 from the hijack seat and Andrew Watson called from the big blind. The flop fell {9-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades} and Watson check-called 100,000 from Lynch.

The turn was the {2-Diamonds} and again Watson check-called a bet - this one was worth 250,000.

Both players checked the {6-Spades} on the river and Lynch rolled over {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds} for kings and sixes. Watson mucked and Lynch is now up to 1.66 million chips.

Cohen Eliminated

Level 26 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Greg Cohen open-shoved his last 171,000 chips from the hijack seat and Charles "Woody" Moore went deep into the tank on the button. Eventually he plopped in enough chips to call, the blinds released and the hands were opened.

Cohen: {a-Spades}{7-Spades}
Moore: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

"Ya gotta be kiddin' me Wood," Cohen sighed when he saw Moore's hand.

It was as if he knew the flop would come {j-Clubs}{k-Spades}{6-Clubs}, which gave Moore two pair. Cohen needed help and received none when the {4-Hearts} turned, ending the hand. The {8-Hearts} on the river was meaningless, and Cohen headed to the rail.

Moore raked in the pot and is now up to 525,000 chips.
