"Dwyte Pilgrim Bursts the Bubble!"

Level 20 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Dwyte Pilgrim
Dwyte Pilgrim

In early position, Michael Baston stuck his last 14,000 lonely chips into the middle with {J-Clubs} {9-Clubs}. Around in the big blind, Dwyte Pilgrim looked down at {A-Clubs} {8-Clubs} and made the call, and Baston needed to improve to avoid becoming the bubble boy.

He could not improve, though, as the board ran out {A-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {8-Spades}. Pilgrim runs down a full house, adding, "Dwyte Pilgrim bursts the bubble!" as he stacked the chips. He's up to 140,000 now, and he and the other 44 players are all in the money.

Here Comes Bazeman

Level 20 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Jake Bazeley
Jake Bazeley

Torrey Reily was all in preflop with {A-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}, and he was flipping for his full stack against the {4-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} of Jake Bazeley.

The board ran {K-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {9-Spades} {7-Clubs} {8-Spades}, though, and Reily could not catch up. He's out in 44th place (just behind Michael Smith), and Bazeley is up to 345,000 with that knockout.

Pilgrim Moves Upward

Level 20 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Dan Schmeich open-shoved for 65,000 from middle position, and Dwyte Pilgrim reshoved over the top. Nobody else wanted to tangle, and Schmeich's {Q-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} was racing against the {8-Hearts} {8-Spades} of Pilgrim.

This just in, Pilgrim is pretty good at winning races. The board ran all low, coming {3-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {7-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}. Fading the overs and the flush draw, Pilgrim has earned another knockout to move to 215,000.

Look out, field!

Prescott Claims a Bounty

Level 20 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Allie Prescott

We joined the pot on the flop as the dealer spread out {5-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {2-Hearts}. Arturo Alaniz was first to speak, and he led out with 22,000 chips. His lone opponent, Allie Prescott, made the smooth call, and the {K-Hearts} appeared on the turn. Alaniz checked now, and Prescott took his cue to fire 33,000 at the pot. His opponent promptly check-raised all in for about 130,000 total, and Prescott made the call with his covering stack.

Showdown
Alaniz: {9-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}
Prescott: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Spades}

Prescott had flopped top set, but Alaniz had outs -- ten of them, in fact. The river was the blank {7-Spades}, though, and Alaniz has fallen in 42nd place.

With that knockout, Prescott moves back into contention for the chip lead with about 415,000 chips now.

Friedmutter-ing to Himself

Level 20 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Douglas Friedmutter

Jared Ingles opened to 12,000 from middle position, and he found two callers including Douglas Friedmutter in the big blind. The three men took a {Q-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {Q-Clubs} flop, and it checked all the way around to the {7-Spades} turn. Friedmutter took his cue to stab at the pot with 15,000, Ingles called, and the third player ducked out of the way.

Both players checked the {9-Diamonds} river, and Ingles showed up {A-Clubs} {4-Spades}. It was good. Friedmutter mucked, leaving himself with just 24,000 lonely chips.

Double or Nothing for Lynch

Level 20 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Mstr Lynch drinkin' double

Mstr Lynch and Eric Utter mixed it up preflop, and all of Lynch's ~100,000 chips went into the middle. He held {9-Diamonds} {9-Spades}, racing for a double up against Utter's {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}.

The {J-Spades} {9-Clubs} {3-Hearts} flop was money in the bank for Lynch, flopping a set to take a huge lead with two to come. The turn {6-Clubs} ended any potential runner-runner shenanigans, and Lynch is back up to 225,000 after finding that double up.

It's not good news for Utter as he had nearly all of his chips in the pot as well. He's got just about 25,000 left now.

Another Two Down

Level 20 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

A short-stacked John Ross shoved all in from the button with {7-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}, and Douglas Friedmutter called all in with {Q-Clubs} {4-Clubs} from the small blind. The only man with chips in the hand was big blind Corrie Wunstel, and he made the call with {K-Diamonds} {3-Spades} and the chance at the double knockout.

Sure enough, the board ran {K-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {10-Spades}, and Wunstel kills the proverbial two birds. He's up to 320,000 now, while Friedmutter and Ross are headed to the cashier in 39th and 38th places.
