His {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} dominated Dehkharghani's {K-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and when no nine hit on the river Dehkharghani was eliminated in 7th place. He won $41,069.

David Gee Cracks Aces

Dehkharghani three-bet, Gee called, and when the {6-Clubs} fell on the river Dehkharghani's bet was again raised by Gee. Ray called and turned over pocket Aces, while Gee had KQ for two pair and the pot.

Don Todd Is Eliminated in 8th Place

After Geoff Sanford raised to 30K, Don Todd re-raised from the big blind and Sanford called. They saw a flop of {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades} and the two players engaged in a raising war that didn't end until the last of Todd's chips were in the center of the table. Todd held an unimproved {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}, while Sanford had him utterly crushed with a set of Threes. Todd hit a meaningless Ace on the turn and was eliminated in 8th place, winning $30,198.

Dehkharghani called and turned over a flush, while Hansen held {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}to make quads on the river.

New Level

There was some controversy over what level we're on and what the blinds should be, there were five minutes left over from yesterday and that apparently caused some confusion. But we're now at 8000-15000 blinds.
