Theologis Jumps into the Lead

Level 25 : 17,500/35,000, 4,500 ante

Alexandros "Pwndidi" Theologis opened to 60,000 from the button, Stevan "random.chu" Chew called in the big blind and the flop came down {j-Clubs}{8-Spades}{8-Hearts}.

Action checked to Theologis, he bet 31,500 and Chew check-raised to 105,000. Theologis called to see the {3-Hearts} turn card where Chew bet 91,875 and Theologis then instantly shoved.

Chew called for his remaining 221,861 and the two turned over their hands. Chew tabled {j-Hearts}{10-Spades} for two pair and Theologis turned over {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds} for the same two pair with a higher kicker.

An {a-Clubs} river added insult to injury as Theologis nailed an ace to improve his hand even. Chew was eliminated, sending over enough chips to bump Theologis into the chip lead.

Mateos Pops the Bubble, Sends Van Fleet to the Rail

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 3,750 ante

Action folded around to Jon "apestyles" Van Fleet who elected to shove his 333,601 stack into the middle from the hijack and Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos was there to hook him up from the small blind.

Jon "apestyles" Van Fleet: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The flop fell {j-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Van Fleet was in need of some assistance. A {7-Hearts} turn and {8-Clubs} river were of no help and he was eliminated, being dubbed the bubble boy.
