Chris Walker just sent a player to the rail in 20th place courtesy of an incredible re-suck to spike a set.
The action began when a player opened for 90,000 from the cutoff, with Sam Datta and his humongous stack flatting from the button. That's when Walker three-bet jammed for his last 360,000, sending the cutoff into a minute or two of tanking. Ultimately, that player called the big reraise, leaving himself 250,000 behind, and although Datta appeared willing and ready to make the overcall, he reluctantly laid his hand down.
Walker tabled to find his cowboys crushing the cutoff's , but in a flash the dealer fanned a flop of across the felt. The sight of a set for his opponent shot Walker out of his chair, and he prepared to make an ignominious exit from the scene, but just as quickly the fell in on the turn. Walker sat back down when he made his own set, and after the river produced the , he completed a roller coaster ride of a hand with the winner.
Anthony Alberto ran his into the held by Thomas Balla, and after the final board ran out without clubs or queens, he hit the rail with a 17th place finish.
Sam Datta just lost a chunk of change to the man we've dubbed Rey Mysterio Jr. (being the younger of two players who declined to provide their names).
When the money went into the middle our mystery man was trailing badly, as his made just middle pair on the board. Datta had led out for a bet on fourth street holding , and Mysterio Jr. shoved all in for about double the bet. Datta made the call to find himself out in front, but the river card came to give the man with no name a replenished stack.
After becoming the first player to reach the 2 million chip milestone - back when the average was just around 400,000 - Sam Datta has just gone busto.
His last hand was a preflop coin flip, with Datta taking his against Thomas Balla's .
Although Datta managed to avoid aces or kings on the board, diamonds on fourth and fifth streets gave Balla the winning flush. Datta exited in 14th place for a $1,913 score.
Jimmy Lillis owns a bagel shop with his father and is known as "Jimmy Bagels" both to his friends and his foes on the online felt.
He just left Johannes Debsai's stack with a huge hole in the middle, crippling him after winning a huge coin flip.
Bagels opened under the gun and when the action folded back around to Debsai, he shoved all in for about 1.4 million (1.2 million effective). Bagels called off to put the last of his stack at risk with , and he was racing against Debsai's .
The final board ran out and the man known as Bagels scooped a huge pot his way. Debsai's went broke on the next deal, leaving us with 12 players in contention.
A man who politely insists his real name never be revealed (just like a superhero) just sent a quick double up over to Gene Mazza.
The action folded around to the man with no name, who held the button, and he raised to 350,000.
The small blind folded and Mazza three-bet for his last 680,000, and the nameless player called with . Mazza tabled and the board ran out to give him the much needed double.
Adir Davidov had just over 4 big blinds to work with in what is quickly becoming a turbo shove-fest, and when he woke up with those 500,000 chips were happily pushed into the middle.
The chip leader (a man with no name as of yet) quickly called with to put the shorty at risk, and as if fate truly wanted the world to know he's playing a poker tournament here today, the flop fell to give him trips.
The turn () and river () changed nothing, and Davidov was knocked out in 7th place for a $7,654 score.
