Kravchenko: 
Wice likely hated the flop which paied Kravchenko, coming 
. However, all was made better (at least for Wice) with the 
on the turn. The 
came on the river for good measure.

That's a Heck of an Ante
There was some unrest at the tables after players were informed that the structure for No-Limit Hold'em was 3,000/6,000 with a 3,000 ante. It was clearly a typo in the structure sheet as level 22 has antes at 2,000. Antes for this level should be 1,500, which is how they will play from here on out.
There was some debate over what to do with players at Table 336 who have already played five hands with the ridiculously high ante. Tournament organizers decided against making Table 331 do the same thing as well as against giving players at Table 336 a refund on the antes they paid.
Alexander Kravchenko Eliminated in 11th Place ($14,232)
No-Limit Hold'em

Kravchenko: 
Sung: 
Kravchenko was ahead preflop but he wasn't to stay ahead for long. The flop came 
, pairing Sung's hand and leaving Kravchenko in need of improvement. The turn gave Kravchenko some outs, coming 
but the river added insult to injury as the 
fell.
With Kravchenko's chips joining his own, Sung isnow up to 327,000.

Eskeland Doubles Through Jaffee
Pot-Limit Omaha
Jared Jaffee has provided another double up to a player at his table, this time for short-stacked Sigurd Eskeland.
Matthew Vengrin was under the gun when he raised to 19,000. Jaffee was next to act and raised pot, about 66,000, leaving 19,000 behind. Over in the big blind Jared Jaffee announced that he was making it 107,000 to go. Vengrin went wide-eyed before folding and Eskeland called.
Eskeland: 
Jaffee: 
The flop came givning Eskeland a straight-draw, but little else in the way of help. The 
on the turn paired Eskeland's king, but Jaffee's aces were still good. But when river came down , Eskeland made his straight, doubled out, and yelled "Booom! I love this game!"
At times like this we bet he does.
