[Removed:198] Climbs to 110k

The man with two of the same name, [Removed:197], has improved to 110,000 in chips, earning about 20,000 of them in the following hand:

[Removed:198] opened with a raise to 2,700 from the cutoff holding {Q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and was called by Matthias Kluge on the button. The flop came down {2-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and [Removed:198] fired a 3,400 continuation bet. Kluge made the call.

The turn brought the {3-Hearts} and [Removed:198] fired again, this time making it 5,400 to play. Kluge, holding {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}, continued to float, taking the hand to the river -- {9-Diamonds}.

[Removed:198] checked on the end, prompting Kluge to take an 8,000 stab at the pot. [Removed:198] wisely looked him up and Kluge tossed his {K-Hearts}{J-Spades} into the muck.

James Keys Unlocks A Royal Flush

All we heard was commotion, followed by a crowd that rushed to the feature table. The board read {6-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and Keys was collecting a sizable pot. Keys' opponent had a set of aces, but Keys had every poker player's dream hand a royal flush, with {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}.

His opponent was good natured about it, realizing that although he was out, he had been busted in style.

Keys is over the 100,000 mark.

I'm Lee'vin On a Jet Plane

Team PokerStars Pro Lee Nelson has just been eliminated from the main event by Michael Shinzaki.

Nelson opened the pot with a raise to 2,700 and when the action reached Shinzaki, he moved all in, putting Nelson to a decision for all of his chips. Nelson made the call holding {6-Hearts}{6-Spades} and found himself in bad shape against Shinzaki's pocket nines.

The ensuing board ran out {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{8-Clubs}{A-Clubs} and Shinzaki ended up taking down the pot on the strength of his nine-kicker.

After the hand, Shinzaki stacked up 160,000 in chips.

Hansen's Hand Holds For a Double

Gus Hansen got all his chips in preflop against Pierre Aoukar. Gus was ahead with {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} against Aoukar's {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}.

The board came down {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} and Hansen is up to 95,000.

Pierre Aoukar on the other hand, who came in as the chip leader continues to slide and is now on less than 50,000.

Shortly after the hand the feature table was broken. At this point it is completely empty, with the exception of a dealer.
