Sybe Smit Eliminated in 21st Place ($14,116)

Sybe Smit - 22nd Place
Sybe Smit - 22nd Place

From under the gun, Sybe Smit raised to 24,000 and the small blind called. James Schaaf in the big blind moved all in which covered both remaining players. Smit quickly made the call, and the small blind, after about a minute or two of thought, folded.

Smit: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Schaaf: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}

The flop was {7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and left Smit drawing to a runner-runner straight. He was dead on the {a-Spades} turn, and Smit will have to watch his friend and fellow Dutchman, Lex Veldhuis, from the rail.

Today's Phrase Is "All In"

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

The double ups have not stopped since we got down to our final two tables. Everybody is still pushing all in preflop and getting calls as well. Our most recent doubler is Gian Carlos Oliveri.

From late position, Dejuante Alexander raised to 37,000. Oliveri re-raised all in for a total of 236,000 and Alexander called.

Oiveri showed {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs} and Alexander showed {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}. With no help on the board, Alexander shipped over most of his stack to Oliveri who now has 500,000 and he was left with just around 230,000.

Michael Clark Eliminated in 18th Place ($17,659), Steven Miller Eliminated in 17th Place ($17,659)

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Shane Rose opened the action with a raise to 35,000. Michael Clark in the small blind moved all in for 110,000 and Steven MIller immediately re-jammed for 326,000. Rose, who didn't seem happy about the action, made the call nevertheless and the hands were turned up.

Rose: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Clark: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Miller: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

The flop was {2-Spades}{7-Spades}{10-Hearts} and kept Clark in the lead with his pair of Nines. The turn was paint with the {q-Hearts} but missed all of the over cards that would make a pair. It did, however, give Miller a flush draw and each Rose and Miller made a gut-shot straight draw. The river was the {j-Diamonds} which made Miller a pair of Jacks but gave Rose broadway.

After the stacks were counted out, Rose had just 10,000 more than Miller. He now has 825,000 after knocking out those two players.

Tim West Eliminated in 15th Place ($22,317)

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Tim West Eliminated in 15th Place
Tim West Eliminated in 15th Place

Tim West opened the action with a raise to 38,000 in middle position. Diana Allen made the call in the hijack and Jason Somerville came along from the button. While the big blind was thinking and asking the dealer a question, a slight altercation occured between him and Allen about the amount of the raise. The argument moved to the way she was wearing her sunglasses and eventually, the player in the big blind decided to fold,

Allen composed herself and saw the {10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop three ways. West checked, as did Allen and Somerville bet 55,000. West check-raised all in and Allen asked for a count. After both West and the dealer counted out about 550,000, Allen announced that she was all in and Somerville got out of the way.

Allen had flopped a set with {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts} both was not in the clear yet. The {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} of West was still very much alive. The turn was the {2-Hearts}. Allen asked for a black card on the river and she got it. The {9-Clubs} gave West a meaningless two pair and he finishes the tournament in 15th place.

With that pot, Allen now has 1.6 Million of the 9.5 Million chips in play with 14 players remaining.
