Kenneth Hicks Jr.
Kenneth Hicks Jr.
Kenneth Hicks Jr. raised it up pre-flop and Antonio Battisti moved all in over the top from the big blind covering Kenneth. Kenneth did not take long to make the call but wished he had folded when he saw that Antonio had {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}, which was beating his {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}. The board of {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{5-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} changed nothing and Kenneth Hicks Jr. was eliminated in 20th place earning $18,942.

Dan Pedersen Eliminated

The trend so far today has gone something like this: all in; call; nice hand; good game; repeat. Next up, Dan Pedersen, who was sent home by notorious table fighter Jean-Claude Perrot. In a match-up of A-9 v. A-J, Perrot's superior ace held strong to eliminate Pederson from the tournament in 23rd position, worth $18,942.

All of the money went in pre-flop and at the showdown, Andy revealed {Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} finding himself slightly behind Hopkins' {A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. By the turn, the board had delivered not one, but two aces for Hopkins and Black was drawing dead.

Andy will take home $18,942 in prize money for his 24th place finish.

Andreas Hagen made his last stand with {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}, but was looked up by Michael Schulze who had the dominating {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}.

Petlic Doubles Through Ruthenberg

Short-stack Janusz Petlic has doubled up through PokerStars sponsored player Sebastian Ruthenberg after getting it all in pre-flop holding A-K against Ruthenberg's A-Q.

The board ran out jack-high and Petlic's ace-high reigned supreme, giving him a new stack of approximately 97,000 in chips.

Raul Paez Corral
Raul Paez Corral
Tournament short-stack Raul Paez Corral got his remaining ~25,000 into the middle holding {5-Hearts}{5-Spades} and was given action by Kenny Hicks Jr. who tabled {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts} at the showdown.

Corral was still safe after the {7-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop, but the {A-Diamonds} on the turn did him in. There would be no rivered miracle for Corral, as the {3-Spades} was the last card to fall off the deck and he exited the tournament area the first casualty of the day. He'll take home $12,628 in prize money for his 26th place finish.

Hicks stacked up just over 250,000 in chips after the hand.
