Mark Tademy Eliminated in 27th Place ($7,621)

It only took two hands for Mark Tademy's night to come to end.

In the first, he got crippled by Theo Jorgensen when his two pair got rivered on a board of {Q-Hearts}{2-Spades}{10-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} when Jorgensen made Broadway while holding {K-Clubs}{6-Spades}{8-Clubs}{A-Spades}.

In the very next hand, Tademy raised to 12,000 from the cutoff and got reraised by Isaac Baron on the button. Tademy called and the hands opened.

Tademy: {Q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades}
Baron: {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}{A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}

Baron flopped a house when the board came {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and improved when the turn and river brought the {6-Diamonds} and {A-Spades}. Baron now has 130,000 chips while Tademy earned $7,621 for his efforts.

Loren Klein Doubles Through Steve Sung

Loren Klein opened for 12,000 from the cutoff, Steve Sung three-bet to 40,000 from the small blind and Klein made the call.

The flop came down {K-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {7-Hearts}. Sung led out for 51,000, Klein re-potted all in and Sung called.

Klein {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {5-Hearts}
Sung {Q-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {6-Hearts}

Klein's top set and flush re-draw led Sung's wrap draw and held up through the {8-Diamonds} on the turn and the {9-Diamonds} on the river.

After the hand Klein was up to 180,000 while Sung fell to 120,000.

Brian Alioa Eliminated in 26th Place ($7,621)

Brian Alioa - 26th Place
Brian Alioa - 26th Place
Jean-Phillipe Leandri and Brian Alioa were both all-in against J.C. Tran on a {J-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {4-Spades} flop, Tran having both players covered.

Alioa {8-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {4-Hearts}
Leandri {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {5-Spades}
Tran {J-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {3-Clubs}

Tran was out in front with a set of jacks, Alioa had an open-ended straight draw and Leandri the overpair. The {A-Spades} on the turn, however, changed everything, as Leandri made a set of aces. The river fell the {Q-Diamonds}, missing Alioa's outs and sending him to the rail in 27th place. Leandri doubled up to 130,000 while Tran is still sporting a big stack with 250,000.

Mikey Stoltz Eliminated in 25th Place ($7,621)

Mikey Stoltz was in the cutoff and Len Ashby was on the button when they began a raising battle that ended with Stoltz's stack in the pot before the flop.

Stoltz: {A-Spades}{5-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{K-Spades}
Ashby: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

Both players paired up on a flop of {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, but Ashby got the better end of the deal and held on as the final cards brought the {J-Clubs} and {9-Spades}.

Hertzel Zalewski Eliminated in 24th Place ($7,621)

Hertzel Zalewski - 24th Place
Hertzel Zalewski - 24th Place
Isaac Baron, Hertzel Zalewski, and Theo Jorgensen all checked a flop of {6-Spades} {5-Hearts} {3-Spades}. When the {8-Hearts} hit the turn, Baron bet 75,000 from the hijack seat, Zalewski called all in for 32,000 from the cutoff, and Jorgensen reraised all in for 122,000. Baron called the balance and the cards were turned up.

Baron {10-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {6-Diamonds}
Zalewski {K-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}
Jorgensen {J-Spades} {8-Spades} {7-Clubs} {4-Clubs}

Jorgensen was far out in front with an eight-high straight and a flush re-draw to Baron's two pair and Zalewski's pair of eights. The river fell the {10-Spades}, Jorgensen hitting his flush on the river to take down the massive pot.

Zalewski was eliminated in 24th place while Baron was crippled to only 4,000 in chips.

Level: 16

Blinds: 3,000/6,000

Ante: 0

Cedric Kolstad Eliminated in 23rd Place ($7,621)

Len Ashby didn't wait long to eliminate another player. Just two hands after dusting off Mikey Stoltz, Ashby set his sights on Cedric Kolstad who got his chips all in on a board of {Q-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. Ashby called and the cards were shown.

Kolstad: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Ashby: {8-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

When the board failed to pair with the {J-Spades} on the river, Kolstad left in 23rd place.

Andrew Fegan Eliminated in 22nd Place ($7,621)

After Lev Briskin check-called Andrew Fegan's preflop raise of 18,000, Brisken led out for 4,000 on a flop of {3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. The bet was enough to put Fegan all in, and after the call, we saw the cards.

Brisken: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Fegan: {A-Spades}{7-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{6-Clubs}

The {2-Diamonds} on the turn completed Brisken's flush draw and a meaningless {10-Spades} on the river sent Fegan home in 22nd place.

Isaac Baron Eliminated in 21st Place ($7,621)

Isaac Baron - 21st Place
Isaac Baron - 21st Place
After being crippled to 4,000 in chips, Baron managed to chip up to 12,000 before pushing all in from the button and getting called by Theo Jorgensen and J.C. Tran in the blinds.

The flop was {6-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {5-Spades}. Jorgensen checked, Tran bet 20,000 and Jorgensen folded.

Tran revealed {J-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {5-Hearts} for the flopped boat, while Baron held {K-Hearts} {9-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} for two pair. The turn was the {7-Spades} , t he river was the {A-Diamonds} and Baron made a quiet exit in 21st place.
