Double Up for "Cholie"

Blinds: 5,000/10,000

Short stack "Cholie" moved all in for his final ten big blinds or so, and Yong “IReadYrSoul” Kwon put him at risk holding {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}. He was slightly behind the {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, and Kwon was never able to catch up, as the board ran down {j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{3-Spades}{4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}.

Just 21 players remain now, meaning hand-for-hand play will start shortly.

Double Up for Mike “MistaMenza” Menzer

Blinds: 3,500/7,000

Action folded around to Mike “MistaMenza” Menzer in the small blind, and he moved all in for his final 120,000 or so. In the big blind, "savante10" made the call with pocket fives. However, he was dominated by the {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} of Menzer.

The board ran down {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{j-Spades}, and the kings secured a big pot for Menzer, who doubled up to nearly 270,000.

After "hoysrevenge13" raised on the button, Michael “IIIIIIIIIIIII” Haberman moved all in for his final 90,000 or so. "hoysrevenge13" called with {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, but he was dominated by the {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} of Haberman.

"ndirish50" Vaults Into the Chip Lead

Blinds: 1,800/3,600

On one of the last hands before registration closed, "Nickpezz89" raised to 8,500 on the button. Next to act, "ndirish50" three bet it to over 25,000. Back to "Nickpezz89", he would four bet shove for about 150,000, and "ndirish50" quickly called with {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}. He was in good shape against the {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds} of "Nickpezz89", and the big slick would hold on a low runout of {8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}.

ndirish50 has since added to that lead, and is the first player to crack the half a million chip marker.

"POKERTORR" Busts Lupo

Blinds: 1,800/3,600

"POKERTORR" limped in from under the gun, and in the small blind, Daniel “centrfieldr23” Lupo moved his short stack of around 18,000 all in. "POKERTORR" made the call with {a-Spades}{9-Spades}, and he was ahead of Lupo's {q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. The flop of {9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} meant that Lupo would need a queen or running cards to survive. The {10-Spades} turn was one of those cards, but a third deuce on the river gave "POKERTORR" a full house for the win.

Registration hasn't closed yet, so Lupo is likely to re-enter in this final level.

Checking in on Ryan “simlSgg” Hagerty

As mentioned in the intro, Ryan “simlSgg” Hagerty is going for an unheard of third title in as many nights in this series, after winning over $13,000 in the previous two nights. As registration is nearing it's close, Hagerty finds himself in the middle of the pack with over 93,000. He has a tough seat at the moment, with Anthony “Flawlessbinkage” Maio and big stack "Core4" on his direct left, but that probably doesn't bother Hagerty too much at the moment.

Stay tuned to find out if Hagerty can cash, and possible win, yet another event here in this partypoker series!
