Wes Gauthier Crosses 2M

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Wes Gauthier
Wes Gauthier

We missed the hand, but Wes Gauthier called us over to tell us how he came to have 2,225,000 chips.

"I raised in late position with {a-}{4-} and both the blinds called," he told us. "The flop came {2-}{3-}{5-} and they checked to me. I c-bet, of course, and then the blind min-raised me. Well, we end up getting it all in and he has a set of threes."

Gauthier says his opponent had about 800,000 to start the hand. His opponent failed to fill up and Gauthier's wheel was good for the largest pot of the tournament so far.

Big Stacks and a Bust, Wyatt Out

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Wes Gauthier, Wayne Lewis, and Matt Stroud are the top three chip stacks with 28 left.

Jeremy Tinsley just eliminated Jeff Wyatt. Wyatt was left short after running kings into the aces of Stroud for a huge pot.

He then got {a-}{6-} in against Tinsley's {a-}{k-} and hit the rail.

Tommy Tompkins Eliminated in 29th ($1,992)

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Tommy Tompkins
Tommy Tompkins

Tommy Tompkins open-shoved for 165,000 and the action folded to Ben Markway on the button. Markway reshoved for around 500,000 and everyone else folded.

Ben Markway: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Tommy Tompkins: {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

The flop was no help to Tompkins when it came {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{2-Spades}. A sliver of hope arrived on the turn with the {9-Hearts}, but the {6-Clubs} fell on the river to end Tompkins' tournament.

Tompkins went out in 29th place and will collect $1,992 from the prize pool.
