[user76023]

Nikolai Yakovenko has doubled through Alex Ivarsson. Ivarsson who raised preflop to 20,000 and Yakovenko moved all in. The chip leader called and got shown {A-Hearts}

board.

It's Reigning Men

Shamus

Men Nguyen just doubled up through Stanislav Alekhin. The pair got all of Nguyen's chips in the middle on a flop of {J-Spades}

. Nguyen tabled {K-Diamonds}

for top two, while Alekhin showed {K-Spades}

.

The turn was the {9-Hearts}

, giving Alekhin a lesser two pair and made things momentarily more interesting. But the river was the {Q-Diamonds}

and Nguyen now has 247,000. Alekhin slips to 265,000.

After being crippled in that earlier hand versus Alexander Wilson, Eugene Katchalov was soon eliminated in 25th place ($11,839)

"Cowboy" Kenna James got his below-average stack in the middle before the flop with {A-Spades}

, and chip leader Alex Ivarsson was there to compete with {Q-Hearts}

.

The

flop was good to Ivarsson. The turn was fine, too -- {6-Spades}

. And the {Q-Diamonds}

sealed it. James rides into the sunset in 24th place ($14,394). Ivarsson extends his lead, and now has 1.28 million.

And shortly after that, Brett Switzer hit the rail in 23rd, also earning $14,394.

Blair Suffers Defeat

[user76023]

No, it's not a British general election.

Blair Hinkle had just virtually doubled through Brian Meinders when he got his stack in against Joe Serock with {5-?}

against

and lost out.

Give that we're at 4,000/8,000 and Hinkle had 220,000 at the start of the hand, I think we can assume he bet/3bet all-in preflop against Serock's reraise.

Serock now has about 1,000,000. Hinkle earns $11,839 for his 26th place finish.
