Double Knockout for "beast801"

Blinds: 2,500/5,000

Big stack "beast801" put two players at risk preflop with pocket deuces, and he was up against the {a-Spades}{k-Spades} of "ashylarry" and {q-Hearts}{q-Spades} of "rtip0071."

The flop of {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} changed nothing, and neither did the {j-Spades} turn. However, the {2-Hearts} slammed down on the river, suddenly giving a winning set to "beast801."

With that pot, "beast801" is now one of the chip leaders.

Runner Runner for Anthony "supremetny" Chin

Blinds: 4,000/8,000

From early position, "BigDickRick" raised to 112,000, leaving himself just 25,000 behind. In the big blind, Anthony "supremetny" Chin raised enough to set him all in. "BigDickRick" called with {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}, and he was well out in front of Chin's pocket sevens.

The hand looked all but over after the flop of {q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{10-Hearts} gave "BigDickRick" bottom set, but suddenly, the {6-Diamonds} hit the turn, and the {8-Clubs} came on the river to give Chin an unlikely straight, earning him the pot, and the knockout.

Daniel Buzgon
Daniel Buzgon

Daniel “leinad” Buzgon got his final chips in the middle preflop holding pocket sevens, and he was flipping against the {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} of "GrindUrGearz." The coin flip turned into a blowout after the flop of {k-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} gave "GrindUrGearz" a straight, and Buzgon was drawing dead by the turn.

Players are now taking a five minute break. Only 17 remain now!

River Saves Hagerty

Blinds: 7,000/14,000

"KTgirl" was in position to scoop a massive pot, when she put two players at risk with {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}. She was flipping against the {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds} of Ryan “simlSgg” Hagerty, and the {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} of David "TheKing411" Coleman.

The flop of {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} brought plenty of extra outs for the over cards, and the {7-Clubs} turn also gave Coleman a flush draw. "KTgirl" had about half the deck to fade to win the hand, but the {7-Hearts} river counterfeited her pair. This gave Hagerty most of a double up, while also keeping Coleman in the game by nearing doubling up himself.

"ndirish50" Gets Lucky to Double Into the Lead

Blinds: 7,000/14,000

"ndirish50" and Anthony "supremetny" Chin got into a raising war that saw all of "ndirish50"'s chips get into the middle The pot was for nearly a million chips, and the winner would be the chip leader. Chin was in great shape holding {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} to the {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} of "ndirish50", but all that changed after the flop came down {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}.

Suddenly, Chin was in need of a one outer to win the hand, but that case king wouldn't come. "ndirish50" looks set to make it back-to-back final tables, as he is now the chip leader.

Stone Busts Sangannagari

Blinds: 10,000/20,000

Sridhar “sri100k” Sangannagari shoved his final 110,000 and change in the middle holding {q-Hearts}{9-Spades}, and he was in about as rough a shape as possible, as Katie "KatieStone" Stone had woke up with pocket queens in the small blind. However, Sangannagari got about as good a flop as he could have asked for, {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{10-Spades}, suddenly giving him an open ended straight draw. The {5-Diamonds} turn and {4-Spades} river brought no further help though, and the queens sent a nice pot over to Stone.

Himpele Busts Stone in Biggest Pot of the Tournament

Blinds: 10,000-20,000

There was another massive all in preflop confrontation from the blinds, and this one saw Don "dhimp20" Himpele bust Katie "KatieStone" Stone. Stone was in the small blind, and got her stack in the middle holding {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. However, she was dominated by Himpele's {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}. The flop of {7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} missed both players, and a queen on the turn left Stone drawing dead.

This puts Himpele into the chip lead on the bubble of the final tabe.
