"Chalmisi6" Doubles Through Gagliano

Blinds" 40,000/80,000

Michael “Gags30” Gagliano raised it from early position, and "Chalmisi6" three bet it to 550,000. Gagliano called, and the flop came down {7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. Gagliano checked to "Chalmisi6", who continued for 440,000. Gagliano moved all in, and "Chalmisi6" quickly called with {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}.

He was dominating the {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades} of Gagliano, and he would keep that lead through the turn and river. Just like that, "Chalmisi6" is one of the big stacks, while Gagliano is suddenly the short stack.

Dodd Doubles Through "upayformypennys"

Blinds: 35,000/70,000

"upayformypennys" raised to 140,000, and Ryan "Whosyourdoddy" Dodd moved all in 1.3 million and change. "upayformypennys" thought for a bit before calling with {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, and he was behind the {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} of Dodd. The flop of {q-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs} gave Dodd top pair, but also gave "upayformypennys" a straight draw. The {7-Diamonds} turn and {8-Spades} river changed nothing though, and Dodd scored a nice double up.

"upayformypennys" raised under the gun, and Eric “alwaysliquid” Vanauken reraised to 580,000. "upayformypennys" would four bet all in, and Vanauken quickly called to create a pot of 4.4 million.

Vanakuen: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
"upayformypennys": {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The flop of {6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} missed both players, but the {j-Spades} smacked down on the turn to give "upayformypennys" the lead now. A deuce on the river ocmpleted the board, and "upayformypennys" scored a massive double up into the chip lead.

Gagliano Drags Two Million Chip Pot

Blinds: 30,000/60,000

On the turn of a board reading {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{j-Hearts}, "Chalmisi6" checked to Michael “Gags30” Gagliano, who bet out 345,000. "Chalmisi6" called, and the river brought the {5-Hearts}. After another check from "Chalmisi6", Gagliano fired 469,000. "Chalmisi6" thought for a bit before calling, but he had to muck after Gagliano showed {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} for two pair.

Blinds: 25,000-50,000

"A.Jackson1767" Eliminated in 7th Place ($2,891.70)

Blinds: 25,000/50,000

"A.Jackson1767" shoved his short stack in the middle from the cutoff with {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, but unfortunately for him, "Chalmisi6" woke up with {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}. The flop of {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{5-Spades} gave "A.Jackson1767" a glimmer of hope, as did the {9-Diamonds} turn, but a queen on the river didn't finish off the comeback.

This leaves just six players now!

"Riverman" Eliminated in 8th Place ($2,324.70)

Blinds: 20,000/40,000

Eric “alwaysliquid” Vanauken and "RiverMan" were heads up on a flop of {j-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. Vanauken and "RiverMan" went back and forth until all of the latter's chips were in the middle. "RIverMan" held top pair with {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}, but unfortunately for him, Vanauken had him dominated with {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}.

No further help would come, and the ace kicker played to get us down to the final seven!

Yong “IReadYrSoul” Kwon Eliminated in 9th Place ($1,757.70)

Blinds: 20,000/40,000

Yong “IReadYrSoul” Kwon and "Chalmisi6" got all of the chips in the middle after the flop came down {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}. "Chalmisi6" showed {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for top two pair, while Kwon held {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for a flush draw. The {a-Spades} turn gave Kwon even more outs, but the {3-Hearts} river was a complete dud, knocking Kwon out in ninth.
