Marcus Gaunt
Marcus Gaunt

Action folded to Marcus Gaunt in the cutoff, who shoved all in for 540,000 with {6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. Lydia Waltonbaugh reraised all in to 2,600,000 with {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} from the small blind and Andy Spears folded his big blind, making it time to run the cards.

The board ran out {5-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Gaunt has been eliminated from the tournament, while Waltonbaugh finds herself with almost three million in her stack with five players remaining.

Christopher Lee Eliminated in 7th Place ($11,193)

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Christopher Lee
Christopher Lee

Christopher Lee limped in with {q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Lydia Waltonbaugh checked {7-Spades}{6-Hearts}.

Lee bet 100,000 on the {5-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} flop and Waltonbaugh called. On the {4-Clubs} turn, Lee bet 200,000 and called off his last 350,000 when Waltonbaugh jammed. Without an out in the deck, Lee just stood up and began to head out as the dealer finished out the board with a meaningless {2-Diamonds}.

Gaunt Finds Aces To Double

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

With 230,000 left in the small blind and action folded to him, Marcus Gaunt looked down and found himself {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} and went all in. Christopher Lee called him from the big blind and tabled {k-Hearts}{10-Spades}.

The board ran out {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}, and Gaunt faded the gutshot straight draw on the river to double up again.

With action back on Waltonbaugh, she shoved for 1.3 million. McIe gave it some thought and ultimately folded his hand.

"Ridiculous" Run Continues for Spears

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Andy Spears opened under the gun for 125,000 with {k-Hearts}{q-Spades} and Jason Pickup called on his left with {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}.

They checked down {q-Clubs}{5-Spades}{a-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades} until Spears bet 175,000. Pickup made it 400,000 and Spears began thinking.

"This is ridiculous," he said with a shake of the head.

Finally, he called and sent some chips to his neighbor's set yet again.
