Michael Rocco Eliminated in 24th Place ($10,180)

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

When we arrived at the table, the {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{A-Clubs} board was in the middle of the table in a hand between Steve Warburton and Michael Rocco. Warburton moved all in, having Rocco well covered.

With around 265,000 left in his stack, Rocco went deep into the tank. Eventually, the clock was called on Rocco. With one second left, he made the call. Warburton tabled the {Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for the nut flush, and Rocco was eliminated in 24th place for a little over $10,000.

Warburton scooped the pot and moved to 1.34 million in chips.

Another Three-Way All-In Clash

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Pedro Oliveira
Pedro Oliveira

Brian Yoon raised all in for 94,000 from the hijack seat, Alex Keating called from the cutoff seat, and then Pedro Oliveira reraised all in for 325,000 from the small blind. Play got back to Keating, and he called Oliveira's shove as well.

Yoon held the {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}, and Oliveira had the {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} — same hand, but swapped suits. Keating had a dominated {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} and was looking for another double knockout.

The board came {J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades}, and Yoon chopped the pot with Oliveira. Because of Oliveira's bigger stack, he nearly doubled through Keating, who slipped back to 1.17 million.

Harrison Beach Eliminated in 26th Place ($10,180)

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

We caught the action on a flop that showed {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{6-Spades} when three players checked to Rudy Lucas who bet 70,000. Harrison Beach check-raised all in for about 350,000 chips. Two players folded and Lucas called right away.

Lucas: {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Beach: {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

The board ran out {Q-Diamonds}, {3-Spades} and Lucas' pair held up. Beach was knocked out and we're down to 25.

Sergio Aguilar Eliminated in 28th Place ($8,483); Chris Csik Eliminated in 27th Place ($10,180)

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Just moments after Alex Goulder and Nick Yunis were sent packing in a double elimination, another three-way all-in pot crushed the hopes of Sergio Aguilar and Chris Csik.

Csik raised to 22,000 from middle position, Aguilar reraised all in for 100,000 from the hijack seat, and Rudy Lucas called from the small blind. Csik called, and the flop came down {A-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades}, and Lucas checked. Csik jammed for about 165,000, and Lucas quickly called with the {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} for middle set. Csik had the {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}, and Aguilar had the {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}.

The turn was the {K-Spades}, and the river was the {10-Diamonds}. Both kept Lucas' set in front, and he scored the double knockout. Aguilar finished in 28th place, and Csik took 27th.

Alex Goulder Eliminated in 30th Place ($8,483); Nick Yunis Eliminated in 29th Place ($8,483)

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

From under the gun, the UK's Alex Goulder raised all in for 72,000. Nick Yunis then reraised all in for 169,000 from middle position, and Alex Keating called form the hijack seat. Everyone else folded, and it was a three-way all-in clash between Goulder, Yunis, and Keating.

Boulder had the {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}, Yunis had the {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, and Keating had the {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}.

The {7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts} kept Keating's tens in front, and the {10-Hearts} on the turn delivered him with a set. Now all Keating needed to do was dodge a heart, and he did so when the {3-Clubs} hit the board on the river.

Keating won the pot to eliminate both Goulder and Yunis. Boulder took 30th place and Yunis took 29th.
