McLovin

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

After an open to 12,000 and two flats in front of him, Kevin McGee made his stand with an three-bet shove for about 155,000.

The table folded around dutifully, with the last player to do so flashing {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} as he did so.

McGee Sends One Packing

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

A player opened to 15,000 from early position, Kevin McGee moved all in from late position, and the players behind him folded. The original raiser committed the remainder of his stack, putting himself at risk, and showed {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}.

McGee had him dominated with {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}, and held as the board ran out {q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{k-Hearts}.

At an adjacent table, Katya Grishakova was eliminated with unknown action.

Zagreda Triples Up With No Pair

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante

Paul Zagreda got the last of his stack in before the flop, risking 27,000 or so with the {A-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}.

His two opponents held {9-}{9-} and {10-}{10-} to put Zagreda at risk, and when the flop fell {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{q-Spades} he missed the big cards he was looking for. Any ace or jack would still do though, but the {3-Spades} on the turn was another brick.

River: {k-Clubs}

With the board now double-paired, Zagreda's ace-high hand had counterfeited the pocket pairs which nearly sent him home early. He now holds just over the average with a few minutes to play before the dinner break.

Amanda Musumeci

Amanda Musumeci's stay in the Signature Room was short lived, as the well known pro just went bust with the wrong end of a straight.

The final board read {q-}{5-}{6-}{7-}{8-} and Musumeci held {4-}{4-}, but Danny Lala tabled {a-}{9-} for the winner.

Know the Score

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Here are a few updated counts from around the Signature Room, where all of the 110 remaining runners are now assembled.

We've also noticed a few familiar faces who are no longer in attendance, so they're bustouts are also noted in the counts.
