Joey Weissman shoved all in for 20,500 in the cutoff, and Maxim Sorokin called on the button. Small blind Justin Chock jammed for 74,400, and Sorokin tank-folded.

Weissman: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Chock: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

The {9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{8-Clubs} flop gave Weissman a pile of outs, and the {j-Diamonds} turn was one of them. An {8-Spades} river was safe for him.

Moments later, Duwayne Kosi busted at that table.

Frey Takes Three-Way All In

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

A player under the gun opened to 3,600, and the next player ripped in about 28,000. Action folded to big blind Kyle Frey, and he shoved for 43,200. The opener agonized a few minutes and decided to call.

Frey: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Under the gun: {j-}{j-}
Early position: {10-}{10-}

The kings held up for Frey and he busted one opponent and doubled through another.

At another table, Justin Chock busted.

"Give This Money to My Friend Robert"

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Alex Keating, pictured at an event last year.
Alex Keating, pictured at an event last year.

We found Alex Keating facing what looked to be a pot-sized bet of 45,000 on a completed board of {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{3-Spades}. The bet came from Robert Schulz on the button.

"I don't think I can fold this hand," Keating said. "I know you have a boat or have me outkicked."

"Can you at least promise me you're going to do something good with this money? At least promise me you won't do something bad like fund a terrorist organization or something."

Schulz cracked the barest hint of a smile.

"He smiled!" Keating exclaimed. "Look how happy he is, he knows he's getting this money."

Schulz covered his mouth with his hand and finally, Keating turned his attention to the dealer.

"Give this money to my friend Robert," he said, placing it in the center of the felt.

Schulz showed {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades} and took the pot down.

Capps Eliminated; Full Remaining Counts (full)

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Jesse Capps opened on the button and called when big blind Chad Eveslage put him all in. Eveslage had {a-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and was dominated by Capps' {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} but an ace on the flop doomed Capps.

Monster Pot for Karim

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Zo Karim

Alex Keating opened for 5,000 and got one call, and Zo Karim made it 16,400. Raymond Dandrea flatted on the button, and Keating and the fourth player made it four to a {5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop. Two checks before Karim fired 27,000. Dandrea moved all in for about 140,000, and Keating tanked a few minutes and called off about 50,000.

"So stupid," Karim said, slamming in a call after the last player folded.

Karim: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Keating: {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}
Dandrea: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Karim was ahead though, and the {10-Clubs} and {8-Clubs} were bricks. He busted Keating and doubled through Dandrea.
