Big Double for Diaz

They are just two eliminations away from the money, and the tension is rising accordingly. Just now some added drama came in the form of a big preflop all-in hand between two players with average stacks, something the remaining short stacks were only too glad to see.

The hand began with Thomas Conway opening for 12,000 from under the gun, then David Diaz reraised to 21,000 from one seat over. The table folded back to Conway who shoved all in, and Diaz called for 175,500 total.

Conway: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Diaz: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

The board came {10-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Spades}{J-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, and now Diaz sits with more than 360,000 while Conway has become one of the short stacks.

At the same time, a player was eliminated from another table.

We are now on the bubble.

Diaz Eliminates Conway on the Bubble

Action folded to Thomas Conway in the small blind and he shoved for about 30,000. David Diaz called from the big blind with {J-Spades}{9-Hearts} and was live against Conway's {A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}.

Conway was out of his chair and ready to leave after the flop fell {J-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, pairing up Diaz. The {10-Clubs} turn was no help to Conway, nor was the {8-Diamonds} river, ending his Main Event in 64th place.

The remaining 63 players are in the money, guaranteed, $3,021.

Ros, Schoengold First to Cash

We've had a couple of bustouts so far since the elimination of Thomas Conway in 64th and the bursting of the cash bubble.

Michiel Ros entered today with a top five stack, and managed to make the money with a 63rd-place finish.

Not too long after it was Gary Schoengold finding himself all in and at risk with {A-Hearts}{5-Clubs} versus chip leader Wade Woelfel's {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. The board ran out {2-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs}, and Schoengold finished 62nd. Like Ros, Schoengold earns $3,021 for his finish.

One For Hwang

Aaron Overton opened to 14,000 in early position and Yung Hwang called in the cutoff. Barry Leventhal called from the big blind and the flop fell {10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Clubs}.

Action was checked to Hwang who bet 20,000. Only Leventhal called to see the {7-Hearts} turn where he check-called 46,000 from Hwang, landing the {5-Diamonds} on the river. Leventhal checked for a third time and Hwang fired a third bullet, this one for 142,000.

Leventhal went into the tank for a good three minutes, but ultimately folded.
