Stoloff Eliminated by McKeehen

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

After several small pots in a row accompanied by very animated table talk at the helms of Nicholas Palma who wasn't involved in any of the action, Samuel Ick maintained his large stack alongside John McDonald.

Joe McKeehen then arrived as his previous table broke and he called the preflop shove by Allison Stoloff for 24,500.

Stoloff grabbed her phone to record showdown and Palma said "oh no, she got the camera out, don't do it" just as the cards were turned over.

Allison Stoloff: QQ All in
Joe McKeehen: 77

"I gotta show my husband when I bust," Stoloff said though she was ahead preflop.

That all changed on the 974 flop when McKeehen improved to a set.

On the 9 turn, Palma asked for another nine but the 8 river was a brick for Stoloff to depart.

Dave Stefanski raised to 4,000 in the hijack before Eun Joo moved all in for 25,000 in the cutoff. Maxwell Young then reshoved in the small blind, and Stefanski folded.

Eun Joo: 99 All in
Maxwell Young: JJ

Joo was dominated by Young's jacks, and the K583K board sent her to the rail for the third time today.

Michael Mann moved all in for 38,000 from early position, Ketan Pandya reshoved in the small blind, and the rest of the table got out of the way.

Michael Mann: 1010 All in
Ketan Pandya: AQ

Mann quickly fell behind as the Q24 flop gave Pandya the lead with top pair. The rest of the board ran out 59, and Mann was sent to the rail.

Two in a Row for Lulov

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Three ways to the K857 turn, Brandon Lulov bet 12,000 out of the small blind and collected the pot when Mike Linster in the cutoff and Ricardo Eyzaguirre on the button folded.

Table big stack Samuel Ick then opened to 4,000 in late position and Lulov made it 11,000 to go in the cutoff, after which everyone behind folded.

Mitchell Gets Value From Dentale

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Four players went to a flop of 4KK where MG bet 4,000 from the cutoff. Mike Dentale called under the gun, as did Joel Mitchell in the hijack.

All three players checked the 8 turn. Mitchell then bet 6,000 on the 4 river, and only Dentale called.

Mitchell showed 1010, and Dentale mucked.

Stefanski Major Beneficiary From a Mistake

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Dave Stefanski
Dave Stefanski

A player accidentally took a seat at Dave Stefanski's table and was dealt a hand before it was noticed he should've been at another table. While the floor was moving him, James Cole on the button and big blind Dave Stefanski got all their chips in the middle before the flop.

James Cole: KK All in
Dave Stefanski: AA

"You're running good with those aces today, Dave," Cole said after finding out his kings had run into two aces. The board ran out J7355, and Stefanski secured the pot.

The stacks were counted down and Stefanski doubled up for 94,000, leaving Cole with just 1,500. "Floor, all that bulls**t that just happened, I should get a free buy in at least," Cole pleaded, but an official told him it was just an unfortunate mistake.

Lopez Eliminated by Linster

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Angel Lopez
Angel Lopez

Angel Lopez pushed all-in for the last 19,500 on the button and Mike Linster in the big blind made sure that big stack Samuel Ick in the small blind had folded before he moved forward his chips as well.

Angel Lopez: 66 All in
Samuel Ick: 77

The 543 flop gave Lopez more outs, but he failed to improve on the Q turn and K river.

Also on the rail is David Olshan, who bowed out just a minute prior from a different table.
