Big Stacks Battle

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Two blinds checked to John Racener in middle position, and he bet 9,000 on a {3-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop. Only big blind Daniel Granov continued. Granov check-called again when Racener downbet 7,900 on the {2-Diamonds}, and both checked the {7-Diamonds}. Granov opened {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Racener mucked.

Clinkscales Cooked

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

According to Ryan Leng, Rex Clinkscales shoved the last of his chips in over a late-position open from John Racener and found his {a-}{6-} dominated by {a-}{8-}. Clinkscales found no improvement on the board, and his heroic rise from just a couple of big blinds found its end in the money.

Eilertsen Finds a Six-Ball

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Eilert Eilertsen called off his 21,100 in the big blind after the small blind moved all in preflop. Eilertsen was dominated with {a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} against {a-}{9-} but the board ran out {4-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}, much to the disgust of the small blind. Eilertsen doubled through and someone went bust at another table, so the remaining 27 players are drawing new seats.
