Zhou Takes from Altshuller

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Joining the action on the {10-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} turn, Quan Zhou bet 49,000 and Aleksei Altshuller called from two seats over to see the {7-Clubs} on the river pair the board. Zhou bet 75,000 and Altshuller called, then mucked when Zhou flipped over {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds} for a jack-high straight.

Ryan Miller Sends One Home

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Ryan Miller got all the chips in before the flop against one opponent with only a very slightly smaller stack.

Miller: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Opponent: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Miller had the preflop advantage with his aces and he was still best after the board ran out {8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} so he took the pot to send his opponent to the cage.

Jackson and Geeng Eliminated

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Cole Jackson had just been moved tables not long ago and was last spotted with less than 10 big blinds. That has since vanished and Jackson headed to the rail.

At almost the same time, Daniel Geeng was also at risk and got his stack in from the button after a flop of {9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. Cyrus Partow was in the big blind and looked up Geeng for the following showdown.

Daniel Geeng: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}
Cyrus Partow: {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}

Instead of diamonds to improve Geeng, Ngeth even made a full house thanks to the {7-Clubs} turn and {7-Hearts} river. Geeng followed Jackson to the rail in 47th place and takes home $17,420.

Brent Roberts

Brent Roberts got his entire short stack in before the flop against Dominique Mosley.

Roberts: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Mosley: {6-}{6-}{X-Clubs}{X-Clubs}

Roberts had the preflop advantage with his aces, and although he retained it on the {10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop, Mosley took a commanding lead on the {6-Hearts} turn. However, the {A-Spades} river gave Roberts a set of aces to win the pot and double up.

A Small Dent in Lamb's Stack

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Short stack Norbert Szecsi got his remaining 58,000 in against table chip leader Ben Lamb and was at risk with {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. Lamb looked up his opponent with {A-Spades}{J-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs} and saw the board run out {J-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. Szecsi rivered the nut flush to remain in contention.

Michail Karapanos Sends One Home

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Camilo Manrique and Michail Karapanos got all the chips into the middle before the flop, small blind against big, respectively.

Karapanos: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Manrique: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

Manrique had the preflop advantage with his kings, but Karapanos made a flush when the board ran out {A-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{3-Hearts} to give him the pot and send Manrique to the cage.

Davies Eliminated and Hoellein Triples Up

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

With about 100,000 in the pot, three players had all their chips in the middle, and the board read {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}.

Jon Hoellein was in the big blind and tabled {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} with 86,000 all in. Michael Kamran was in middle position and showed {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, having both players covered. Scott Davies was in late position and held {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, having 98,000 all in.

The turn and river were the {4-Spades} and the {7-Hearts}, essentially changing nothing. Hoellein took down the main pot with his Broadway straight, and Kamran won the 24,000-chip side pot with Davies with a set of queens.

Madsen Loses a Big One

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

On a flop of {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}, a flurry of raises resulted in two players being at risk. Jeff Madsen had Christopher Frank and Sean Rafael covered but needed help in order to avoid a big setback to his stack.

Christopher Frank: {A-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
Sean Rafael: {10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}
Jeff Madsen: {K-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}

The {6-Diamonds} turn and {7-Spades} river completed the board, and the stacks were counted. Frank was all in for 327,000 post-flop and Rafael for 339,000. They chopped the main pot, taking a big portion of Madsen's stack, and Rafael chipped up some more thereafter to further build his stack.
