There was already 20,000 in the middle on the {4-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop when Timothy Ollinger bet 10,000.

He was met with a raise to 27,500 total, and he sent his cards back to the dealer.

Ollinger is still sitting pretty with more than 100,000 in front of him as he has been near the top of the leaderboard since Level 1.

On the {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} turn and 19,500 in the middle, a player bet 10,000, and Kyle McCarthy moved all-in for 28,000 more.

His opponent snap-called and the hands were revealed.

Kyle McCarthy: {q-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}

McCarthy held a straight, while his opponent had trip jacks with some additional outs.

Unfortunately for the McCarthy, the {q-Diamonds} fell on the river and his opponent made a full house.

McCarthy is not done yet, however, as he has re-entered the tournament.
