Register tabled {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, but it wasn't enough as Colton Thomas held {q-}{6-} for two pair.

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.

Ante: 60,000

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.

The board ran out mostly face cards, and a jack came on the turn. Racca couldn't find a nine and was eliminated in 18th place.

Colton Thomas Eliminated in 17th Place ($3,903)

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Colton Thomas
Colton Thomas

In three back-to-back hands, Colton Thomas has been eliminated.

In the first hand, Thomas raised to 200,000 from early position and Richard Morris three-bet all-in. Thomas folded, leaving himself with around 600,000 behind.

In the next hand, Thomas moved all-in from under the gun. Paul Espinoza moved all-in on Thomas' left for 455,000, and Keith Lehr moved all-in for 400,000. Everyone else folded and the hands were turned up.

Lehr - {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Espinoza - {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Thomas - {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

The board ran out in Lehr's favor, {j-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{9-Spades}{q-Spades}, giving Lehr the main pot while Espinoza picked up a small side pot.

One hand later, Thomas was in the big blind, but put his last 30,000 in the middle along with the 50,000 big blind. Matt Stroud then raised to 200,000 and two players called: Robert Provine on the button and Arthur Collins from the small blind.

The flop came {q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs}. All three players checked.

The {10-Hearts} came on the turn and Collins bet out 100,000. Stroud called and Provine folded.

On the river, the {4-Diamonds} hit the felt. Collins stretched his neck and then thought for half a minute before checking. Stroud bet 500,000 and Collins folded.

Stroud tabled {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} for two pair--tens and nines--and Thomas, who was all-in dark, turned over {8-}{7-} to play the board.

Thomas went out in 17th place and will take home $3,903 for his performance this weekend.
