Dmitriy Khavko Eliminated in 23rd Place ($5,299)

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Dmitriy Khavko
Dmitriy Khavko

Dmitriy Khavko opened to 300,000 and Mikhail Mironenko having Khavko easily covered moved all in. Dmitriy made the call for his last 550,000 in chips and turned over {K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. Mikhail had a monster, {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}, and Khavko was going to need a miracle to stay alive.

The flop came {Q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades} giving Dmitriy no help. The turn was the {10-Clubs} giving him a sliver of hope but the {2-Diamonds} on the river sealed his fate and he is eliminated in 23rd place. Mikhail moves into the chip lead with that pot.

Tim Mullen
Tim Mullen

Stephanie Hubbard raised to 200,000 and Tim Mullen moved all in for 815,000 total. It was folded back to Stephanie who made the call after getting an exact count. Hubbard had {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and was ahead of Mullen's {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts}.

Mullen took the lead on a {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop. "Cinco," said one of Hubbard's friends on the rail. The dealer obliged putting out a {5-Spades} causing Stephanie's rail to let out a "Woooooooo!"

The river was the {3-Hearts} and Mullen is eliminated in 22nd place.

Itkin: {j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

Both the turn and river were fours ({4-Diamonds} and {4-Clubs}), and Georgous was eliminated.

Massive Double for Neiman

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Philip Neiman
Philip Neiman

Zbigniew Fido raised to 260,000 from the hijack seat, Sergei Rylkov called on his left, Mitch Mantin called on the button, and Philip Neiman moved all in for 2.3 million out of the big blind. Fido called, and both Rylkov and Mantin folded.

Fido: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Neiman: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

There was over five million in the middle when the dealer rapped the table and delivered a flop of {k-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. Neiman snatched the lead away from Fido with a pair of kings, leaving Fido drawing to one of the two remaining queens in the deck.

The turn was the {5-Spades}, giving Neiman a wheel draw, and just for kicks and giggles he improved to a wheel when the {4-Diamonds} completed the board.

Neiman doubled to 5.24 million chips, while Fido fell to 1.9 million.

Foster Doubles

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

A short-stacked Adam Foster was all in and at risk for 460,000 holding {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} against Matthew Itkin's {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}.

The wired eights remained in front after the flop ({k-Spades}{2-Spades}{3-Clubs}) and the turn ({7-Spades}), but the {q-Spades} spiked on the river to give Foster the win.

He doubled to 1.13 million chips, while Itkin slipped to 3.65 million.

Sean Wallace Eliminated in 20th Place ($5,299)

Sean Wallace - 20th Place
Sean Wallace - 20th Place

Adam Pace opened to 300,000 from under the gun, Sean Wallace moved all in for around a million out of the small blind, and Pace called.

Pace: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Wallace: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}

The {5-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop was clean for Wallace, but the turn was the {k-Clubs}, giving Pace a pair of kings. Only a seven could save Wallace, and it wasn't to be for the young grinder as the {6-Clubs} completed the board.

Pace is around five million chips, while Wallace is off to collect his winnings from the cage.

Tran Crippled

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Hieu Tran fired out a pot-sized bet on a flop of {3-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{9-Hearts}, and Zbigniew Fido moved all in for an additional 1,075,000. Tran tanked for well over two minutes, but with so much money in the middle, he opted to call.

Tran: {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Fido: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The over pair held as neither the turn ({3-Hearts}) or river ({a-Diamonds}) improved Tran's hand, and Fido doubled to four million chips.

Tran was crippled, and even after doubling the very next hand he only had 250,000 or so.
