Steve Hwang Eliminated

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

On a {Q-Hearts}{6-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop, Christopher Farmer bet 42,000, and Steve Hwang was the only caller. The {5-Spades} on the turn prompted Farmer to bet 50,000. Hwang called, leaving himself with a mere 21,000 behind. The river was the {6-Hearts}, and Farmer bet the last 21,000. Hwang folded, and Farmer showed {2-Spades}{2-Hearts}.

Hwang folded two more hands before sticking it in after Ryan Olsen had opened from the cutoff. Denis Pisarev also called from the big blind.

Pisarev check-called a bet of 22,000 from Olsen on the {10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop, and both players checked the {7-Diamonds} turn. Pisarev bet 40,000 on the {4-Clubs} river, which gave him the side pot after Olsen folded.

Pisarev showed {9-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for trip fours, and Hwang showed {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} and was eliminated.
