"mmflpoker" found their limp-jam successful after getting kings in preflop against the ace-queen of "deerpathdave," but that's where the magic ended as an ace came on the flop and the turn and river left the situation unchanged to result in "mmflpoker" being eliminated from the tournament.

"sandman9876" was also eliminated just beforehand, and "stringerbell24" was eliminated immediately afterwards to take the number of players in the field down to 22.

HillKerby

Hand #1: In Level 38 with blinds of 90,000/180,000, "rumpthumper" opened to 450,000 in the cutoff and was called by "Rennan23," defending their big blind.

Both players checked the flop and the turn came . "Rennan23" bet 540,000 and "rumpthumper" called.

The river fell and "Rennan23" made a bet of 1.1 million, large enough to put "rumpthumper" all in, who called.

"rumpthumper":
"Rennan23":

"rumpthumper's" turned straight became second best to "Rennan23's" rivered flush and they became the fourth-place finisher.

Hand #2: Two hands later, "Rennan23" opened on the button and was three-bet by "Bluehaven," who was in the big blind.

The flop came and "Bluehaven" went all in for 6 million, roughly twice the size of the pot. "Rennan23" called.

"Bluehaven":

The turn removed the backdoor outs, leaving them just one shot left at staying alive. It did not come, as the river dropped and the pot was shipped to "Rennan23".
