"l23weeeeeeeee" Eliminated in 8th Place ($787)

"l23weeeeeeeee"
"l23weeeeeeeee"

In Level 30 with blinds of 16,000/32,000 and an ante of 4,000, "l23weeeeeeeee" open-jammed for 10 big blinds on the button and received action from "kgkg510" in the small blind.

"l23weeeeeeeee": {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
"kgkg510": {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}

"l23weeeeeeeee" needed to win the coin flip to stay alive and the flop {7-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{k-Hearts} was extremely promising, giving them top two pair. Unfortunately for them, the turn {3-Hearts} gave "kgkg510" a backdoor flush draw that would fill up on the river {j-Hearts} to regain the best hand and eliminate "l23weeeeeeeee" in eighth place.

White Saved by the River

In Level 31 with blinds of 18,000/36,000 and an ante of 4,500, Chris "rumpthumper" White open-jammed for 420,000 in the hijack and received a call from "kgkg510" in the big blind.

Chris "rumpthumper" White: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
"kgkg510": {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

White was at risk for his tournament life and needed to hit to stay alive. The flop {6-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} gave him two more outs to Broadway, but his number of chances were cut from two to one after the turn {7-Spades} missed. Luckily for him, the river {q-Spades} saved him, improving him to a pair of queens and earning him the double through the chip leader.

Angel Lopez

In Level 32 with blinds of 20,000/40,000 and an ante of 5,000, Angel "chromeking" Lopez jammed for 320,000 in the hijack and action folded around to Chris "rumpthumper" White in the big blind, who called.

Angel "chromeking" Lopez: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Chris "rumpthumper" White: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The flop {q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} was of no help to Lopez, but he found a little bit of extra hope on the turn {q-Spades} with a shot at a chop. Instead, the river landed {8-Spades} and he was eliminated in seventh place for a payday of $1,016.

Chris "rumpthumper" White: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

Kevin Campbell

In Level 33 with blinds of 25,000/50,000 and an ante of 6,250, Kevin "sofcknsick" Campbell open-jammed for 303,000 in the cutoff and "kgkg510" three-bet to 556,000 on the button. Chris "rumpthumper" White was in the big blind and cold four-bet jammed for 1.644 million, sending action back to "kgkg510" who called to bring a total of more than 3.6 million into the middle.

Kevin "sofcknsick" Campbell: {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Chris "rumpthumper" White: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
"kgkg510": {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

Campbell picked up a gutshot straight draw on the flop {8-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, but that was the closest either player would get to a double as the turn {3-Clubs} and river {4-Spades} left the pocket queens of "kgkg510" on top to eliminate both players on the same hand in fifth- and fourth places, respectively.
