Christian Larsen Eliminated in 15th Place ($5,567)

Level 20 : 10,000/15,000, 3,000 ante
Christian Larsen
Christian Larsen

Matt Livingston pumped it up to 35,000 in the cutoff and Christian Larsen re-jammed in the small blind for around 225,000. Livingston quickly called.

Christian Larsen: {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Matt Livingston: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}

"Well, I've got a good hand to crack aces," said Larsen after seeing Livingston's bullets. All he found was a meaningless nine on the river of a runout {8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{8-Spades}{4-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and was eliminated in 15th place on the final hand before the dinner break as a result.

Level 20 : 10,000/15,000, 3,000 ante
Josh Saltz
Josh Saltz

Josh Saltz pumped it up to 40,000 in early position and received a call from Dwane Collard, who defended his big blind. Both players checked the flo {j-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{9-Spades}.

Collard fired out 55,000 on the turn {9-Diamonds} and Saltz called, bringing the river {6-Diamonds} where action checked through to showdown.

Collard showed {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, missing his flush draw and gutshot straight draw, and Saltz tabled {k-Spades}{j-Spades} to win the pot with two pair, jacks and nines.

Kings Good for Helstern

Level 20 : 10,000/15,000, 3,000 ante

Jorden Helstern was in middle position and opened to 35,000, receiving two calls behind from Rocco Palumbo in the hijack and Steve Wilkie in the cutoff.

Action checked to {2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Helstern bet 40,000. Palumbo called and Wilkie folded.

The river fell {5-Spades} and Helstern bet another 65,000 with Palumbo grabbing a single chip and immediately putting it onto the felt.

"Kings," announced Helstern as he tabled {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}. Palumbo mucked and the pot was shipped to Helstern.

Rocco Palumbo raised to 30,000 in middle position and Steve Wilkie called in the hijack. Action folded to Justin Liberto in the big blind and he called as well.

The flop was {3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Liberto led out for 27,000. Palumbo and Wilkie both called, bringing the turn {9-Diamonds}. Liberto bet another 48,000 and Palumbo called, with Wilkie letting his hand go behind.

The river came {6-Hearts} and Liberto fired for a third time, betting 115,000. Palumbo quickly let his hand go.

Meanwhile, Mike Kenny just doubled through Dwane Collard on the adjacent table with ace-queen on a queen high board.

"He's impossible to kill," said a tablemate as the pot was being shipped to Kenny.

Michael Hinde Eliminated in 16th Place ($4,866)

Level 20 : 10,000/15,000, 3,000 ante
Michael Hinde
Michael Hinde

Hand #1: Michael Hinde open-shoved for 130,000 on the button and Justin Liberto called in the big blind.

Michael Hinde: {k-Spades}{2-Hearts}
Justin Liberto: {q-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Hinde's king was ahead and remained there through the runout {k-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{a-Hearts} to score the double at Liberto's expense.

Hand #2: On the very next hand, Hinde open-jammed again in the cutoff and Liberto looked him up in the small blind.

Michael Hinde; {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Justin Liberto: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Hinde couldn't do it twice as the runout {7-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{q-Spades}{9-Hearts}{3-Spades} came to leave his nines second best against Liberto's jacks and he was eliminated in 16th place as a result.
