Matt Woodward Defeats Justin Filtz

After both players arrived late to the tournament, Matt Woodward eliminates Justin Filtz on their second hand.

On a flop of {5-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} Justin Filtz checked and Matt Woodward bet 3,500. Filtz check raised to 10,500 and Woodward put in another raise to 27,500. Filtz moved all in and was called by Woodward with {A-Diamonds} {4-Spades} for a straight. Filtz showed {10-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} .

The board filled out {5-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {5-Hearts} and Woodward's straight held up. Justin Filtz is eliminated and Matt Woodward advances to the next round.

Hawrilenko vs. Lichtenberger: Hawrilenko Crippled

Matt Hawrilenko raised to 2,500 from the button, and Andrew Lichtenberger three-bet it to 9,000 from the big blind. Hawrilenko made the call, and the flop brought {Q-Clubs} {10-Spades} {6-Diamonds}. Let's go with first names since that's a lot easier in this case. Andrew led out with another 11,000 chips, and Matt called.

Fourth street brought the {2-Hearts}. Andrew fired again, this time 28,000. Matt once again called. On the river, the {9-Spades} drew an all in from Andrew, pushing out his last 58,000. Matt made the call, putting Andrew's tournament life in his hands.

Andrew Lichtenberger showed down {7-Clubs} {8-Spades}, making the ten-high straight on the river. Matt Hawrilenko didn't look too pleased about it as he flung his cards into the muck. He's now down to 28,000, meaning Lichtenberger has 212,000.

Pellegrino Advances

Bryan Pellegrino jumped out to a huge lead over Adam Ewenstein in the first level, and that match has now ended. Pellegrino advances, and his roommate Adam Ewenstein has been sent home.

Madsen vs. O'Dwyer: Back to Even

Jeff Madsen raised to 2,100 from the button, and Steve O'Dwyer made the call. The flop came out {7-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}, and O'Dwyer check-called a bet of 4,500. Fourth street was the {A-Diamonds}, and O'Dwyer check-called again, this time matching the 10,500 chips from Madsen.

The last card off was the {9-Hearts}. O'Dwyer moved all in for 42,500, and Madsen snap-called him.

O'Dwyer tabled {A-Clubs} {7-Spades} for the full book. Madsen frowned and mucked his cards, and that match has drawn back to dead even, 120,000 apiece.

Showdown
Carroll: {6-Diamonds} {8-Spades}
Doudney: {8-Diamonds} {J-Spades}

Carroll had flopped the straight, but Doudney had flopped the nut straight. Left drawing only to a chop, Carroll saw the river bring a useless {6-Spades}, and he has been eliminated. Nathan Doudney is moving on, in the money now.
