Boullianne Drops One from Contention

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Reed Boullianne and two others limped the action to the small blind player who moved all in for 735,000. Boullianne was the only of the three limpers to put his chips in the middle, putting the small blind player at risk.

Opponent: {a-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Reed Boullianne: {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

The board came down {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Boullianne's kicker pulled in the pot, eliminating his opponent from the tournament.

Bryan Neira just sent another player to the rail. His opponent shoved for 580,000 with big slick, only to run into Neira's pocket aces.

The aces held and Neira dragged yet another pot, chipping up to ~4.8 million and in sole possession of the chip lead.

Ken Barkoff is his closest rival, playing ~4 million.

Cathy Dever has recently reported to the rail as the Almighty field continues to shrink.

Super Senior Hatalovsky In The Money

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
John Hatalovsky
John Hatalovsky

John Hatalovsky celebrated his 93rd birthday on Tuesday, the day after Veterans Day, by playing Flight A of this Almighty Stack event.

He served in the 40's and 50's, mostly in the Philippines and South Korea, but his memory is a bit fuzzy after all these years.

Doesn't affect his game, however, as his tablemates say he's unbeatable. He was collecting another pot as we were taking his photo.

We all thank Hatalovsky for his service to our country and wish him the best of luck!

Ghahreman Ties for 140th Place ($375)

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Pasha Ghahreman & John Delio
Pasha Ghahreman & John Delio

Pasha Ghahreman (bb) was all-in for ~770,000 on the turn with a board of {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} against John Delio (utg).

They had to hold the action until the other tables were completed, then revealed their hands. Ghahreman's {k-Spades}{10-Clubs} (top pair) was crushed by Delio's {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}, (kings-full) and he was drawing dead. When the irrelevant {a-Diamonds} completed the board, Delio took the pot.

Ghahreman was busted, but so was a player across the room. They will officially tie for 140th place and split the min-cash of $749.

Play has resumed normal pace and all remaining players are in the money!
