Provine Doubles through Lehr

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

The action folded to Keith Lehr in the small blind and he made it 160,000 to go. Robert Provine in the big blind then shoved for 360,000 total. Lehr went into the tank for two minutes to think it over before making the call.

Lehr - {10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}
Provine - {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

Provine was well ahead and pulled further ahead with a flop of {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. When the {7-Spades} hit the turn, Lehr picked up his hole cards and pitched them toward the muck.

A meaningless {5-Spades} came on the river and Provine doubled up.

Just Keep Shoving: Wayne Lewis and Bobby Barbier Eliminated

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Wayne Lewis
Wayne Lewis

After a series of hands, Wayne Lewis and Bobby Barbier have been eliminated.

Lewis and Barbier heads up and all in with Barbier at risk. Lewis had {a-}{j-} against Barbier's {5-}{5-}.

Lewis flopped two pair on the {a-}{j-}{x-} flop and Barbier went running fives for quads to double through Lewis.

Adam Racca then doubled through Lewis with {9-}{9-} against the {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} of Lewis.

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{k-Spades} and Lewis was left with just 25,000.

Then, with Lewis in the small blind and Huey Hulin in the big, Barbier shoved all in for 405,000. Hulin took a moment to call, since Lewis was already all in.

Hulin had {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} against the {q-Clubs}{10-Hearts} of Barbier and the {q-Hearts}{3-Hearts} of Lewis.

The board ran out {k-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Hulin sent both Lewis and Barbier to the rail in 20th (Barbier) and 21st (Lewis) place.
