Andrew Ourth three-bet shoved for 36,500 from middle position over a raise from Austin McCormick from under the gun. McCormick called.

Austin McCormick:

McCormick got little help on the flop, but found running hearts on the turn and river to send Ourth out the door with a bad beat story to tell.

Chip Leader McBrayer Bounces Two

BrandonTemple

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

BJ McBrayer raised to 9,000 from middle position, and Steven Jungmann three-bet to 30,000 from the cutoff. McBrayer four-bet shoved, and Jungmann quickly called off his last 120,000.

Steven Jungmann:
BJ McBrayer:

McBrayer's aces had coolered Jungmann and his queens, and Jungmann got no relief on a board to bust.

The very next hand, McBrayer and his ace-queen took the last of Michael Rieck's chips when Rieck's kings got cracked by an ace on the flop.

Blythe Doubles, Pupillo Out

BrandonTemple

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Thomas Rennier raised to 11,000 from the hijack, and Richard Blythe three-bet shoved for 109,500 from the small blind. Rennier tanked for a few minutes, then called.

Richard Blythe:
Thomas Rennier:

Blythe pumped his fist after the flop delivered a queen for the lead, and he held on the turn and river for the double.

Meanwhile, Nick Pupillo's seat at Table 30 is empty, and Austin McCormick's stack looks to be the beneficiary of Pupillo's demise.

Hyndi Khomutetsky raised to 15,000 from under the gun, and was called by Austin Tjaden in the hijack and Chris Davis on the button.

Khomutetsky bet 30,000 on the flop, and Tjaden and Davis both quickly folded. Khomutetsky tabled before raking in the pot.

Byram Pips Vance For a Double

BrandonTemple

Level 16 : 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Down to his last 55,000, Bobby Byram got his chips in the middle from the button, and Tim Vance, who raised preflop, committed half his stack to make the call from middle position.

Bobby Byram:
Tim Vance:

Vance couldn't find a king on a runout, and sent the double to Byram. Vance was able to find a double the next hand with ace-queen against BJ McBrayer's ace-four to chip back to where he started.

BJ McBrayer	575,000	-45,000
