James Barger Eliminated in 15th Place ($12,537)

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Mark Maletic opened to 30,000 and Andrew Rothfolk flat called. It folded all of the way around to the table to James Barger who shipped all in for an unknown amount. Maletic tank-folded and Rothfolk snapped him off.

Rothfolk: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Barger: {K-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Barger was crushing Rothfolk but that all changed when a flop of {5-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{10-Diamonds} fell. Barger now needed to catch one of the two remaining kings or running cards to stay alive. Unfortunately for Barger, the turn and river were the {3-Hearts} and the {8-Clubs}, sealing his fate as our 15th place finisher.

Action Slowed

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

We're still here, there's just not much happening. A lot of raise and take poker with very few flops being seen. It's been a bit since our last big confrontation and one is certainly brewing on the horizon.

Rothfolk Gets Paid Off On River

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

The board read {3-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} and Dan Blakeman checked. Andrew Rothfolk dipped into his stack and came out with a bet of 206,000. Blakeman tanked for a bit before finally announcing a call.

Rothfolk rolled over {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} for a rivered pair of kings. Blakeman flung pocket nines into the muck and Rothfolk dragged in the pot. He's now sitting on about 2.1 million in chips.

Barlow: {J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

The board fell {9-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Barlow's tens and fives were ultimately the best hand, ensuring a 14th place finish for Pedro Rios. He'll collect $12,537 in prize money.

Jonathan Gavaio Eliminated in 13th Place ($12,537)

Level 26 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Jonathan Gaviao got the last of his stack, roughly 300,000, all in before the flop. He held {Q-Spades}{J-Clubs}. Gaviao was called by Jerry Barlow who had him crushed with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}.

Gaviao flopped an open-ended straight draw with {10-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, but ultimately did not get there when the {4-Hearts} turned and the {7-Clubs} rivered. Gaviao will collect $12,357 for his efforts.

Aaron Massey Eliminated in 12th Place ($15,405)

Level 26 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Mark Maletic open shipped all in for his last 325,000 before the flop. Aaron Massey called for less from two seats over and Chun Law called as well. Massey and Law were disappointed to find that the two held the same hand.

Maletic: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Massey: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Law: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Maletic took a huge lead on the {7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{K-Clubs} flop and scooped the pot after the turn and river came {3-Diamonds} and {K-Spades}. Massey will collect $15,405 for his run in this Main Event. Maletic, on the other hand, is now sitting on roughly 950,000 in chips.
