Eric Vanauken
Eric Vanauken

In Level 32 with blinds of 30,000/60,000 and an ante of 7,500, Eric "alwaysliquid" Vanauken found himself at risk for his tournament life preflop from under the gun, having received action from "treetrap," who was in the big blind.

Eric "alwaysliquid" Vanauken: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
"treetrap": {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Vanauken needed to hit one of his two live cards and was unable to do so as a ten-high runout of {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Spades} left him no good to the eventual top pair, top kicker of his opponent. He was eliminated in sixth place, earning $1,269 for his efforts.

In Level 32 with blinds of 30,000/60,000 and an ante of 7,500, there was 846,000 in the middle in a blind-on-blind battle between "rule22" in the small blind and "treetrap," who was in the big blind. The board read {q-Spades}{3-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{j-Spades}{8-Clubs} and "rule22" made a bet of 390,000. "treetrap" shoved over the top for 841,000 and "rule22" thought for a moment before calling.

"treetrap": {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
"rule22": {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

"rule22" had flopped top two pair but "treetrap" hit a gutshot on the turn which proved to be best when all the chips went in on the river to score them a double.

"BlckJck" Two Outered on River To Take Ninth; Final Table Is Reached

"BlckJck"
"BlckJck"

In Level 29 with blinds of 18,000/36,000 and an ante of 4,500, action folded around to "BlckJck" in the small blind and they completed. "rule22" raised their option to 90,000 and "BlckJck" limp-reraised to 270,000. "rule22" came over the top to put "BlckJck" all in for 655,000 total and a call was quickly made.

"BlckJck": {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
"rule22": {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The two players eventually and inevitably found stacks go into the middle in an unavoidable cooler situation. "BlckJck" was in great shape for the double as the flop {j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and turn {j-Hearts} appeared. Unfortunately for them, the river {k-Hearts} completed the runout and improved "rule22" to a full house and eliminate "BlckJck" from the tournament as the ninth-place finisher.

Maio Delivers a Crushing Blow To Eliminate "ghoul"; Hand-for-Hand Begins

"ghoul"
"ghoul"

In Level 29 with blinds of 18,000/36,000 and an ante of 4,500, Anthony “Flawlissbinkage” Maio opened to 72,000 in the hijack and "ghoul" three-bet jammed for 1.035 million in the small blind. Maio immediately called.

"ghoul": {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Anthony “Flawlissbinkage” Maio: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

"ghoul" found themselves in a cooler situation and were unable to hit a queen as the board ran out {k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades} to leave Maio's aces up on top. The pot of over 2 million was shipped Maio's way as "ghoul" finished the tournament in 10th place.

Nine players now remain across two tables and one more elimination is needed for the tournament to reach the final table. Hand-for-hand play has been enacted once again until the final table is reached.
