Quick Double for Chon

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Asj Taylor was under the gun when he opened it up to 7,500. The action then folded around to Michael Chon in the hijack and he moved all in for 30,500. Taylor made the call and the two players turned their hands over.

Taylor: {q-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Chon: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Chon was a slight favourite and looking good to double and it stayed that way as the dealer spread out {3-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{9-Spades} board.

Holmes Home, Down to Two Tables

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Chris Holmes was the short stack of the final 19 players but sadly picked the wrong time to make a steal attempt at the blinds and antes. When action folded to Holmes in late position, he moved all in for 24,300 but Jon Pierre Narbey made the easy call with {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}. Holmes cringed and sheepishly tabled {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}.

The board ran out {5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} to see Holmes depart as a table is broken and the final two tables are formed.

Another One Out, Raj Rising

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Full Tilt Poker qualifier Andrew Forsman was getting short and when action folded to him in the small blind, he looked down at a powerful {a-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and it was a logical spot to move all in. Unfortunately for Forsman, Raj Ramakrishnan was sitting with {a-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} in the big blind and insta-called.

The board ran out {5-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades}{4-Spades} to see Forsman bundled out of the tournament in 20th place as Ramakrishnan climbs to 160,000 chips.

Casey Kastle Can't Survive

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Casey Kastle was short stacked when he shoved all in preflop holding {k-Spades}{j-Spades}. Kastle received a call from Jon Pierre Narbey, who held {7-}{7-}. Kastle would need to find some help to survive, but the {10-Spades}{9-}{k-}{7-}{2-} board meant that Narbey had hit a set and Kastle had missed the cards he needed.

There are now 20 players remaining as we move ever-closer to the 15 money-paying positions.
