Aaron Kielesinski opened with a late-position raise to 7,000. Action came around to big stack Joel Micka, and he moved all in, putting the heat on his opponent. Kielesinski quickly called, and he was at risk for the remainder of his chips.

Showdown:
Kielesinski: {9-Clubs}

Micka:

Trouble found Kielesinski on the flop, as the dealer ran out the board of {2-Spades}

. With his pocket pair failing to hold up, Kielesinski is sent to the exit in 21st place. There's reason to celebrate for him though, as he won his seat in a satellite for just seven dollars! Turning that into just shy of $10,000 is no small feat.

Frazee Hoping in Big Slick

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jason Frazee came in with a middle-position raise to 6,000. Action came to big stack Robert Woodcock, who asked Frazee to move his hands so he could eye up Frazee's chip stack. After taking in the necessary information, he put in a reraise to 15,500. That was enough to get the rest of the players out, but Frazee wasn't going anywhere. He shrugged his shoulders, grabbed his remaining 35,275 chips and pushed them all in. Woodcock quickly called.

Showdown:
Frazee: {A-Spades}
