Jaka Doubles Through Chen

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Under unknown circumstances we just saw the following board on the table: {9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. There was action between Faraz Jaka and Andrew Chen, the former who tabled {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}. Chen had shown {K-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and his hand was not enough to knock Jaka out.

Jaka was all in for 128,000 and he doubled up while Chen is now one of the shortest stacks in the tournament.

Ami Barer Eliminated in 19th Place ($71,400)

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Ami Barer -- 19th Place
Ami Barer -- 19th Place

Ami Barer just took a bit of a bad beat to finish in 19th place, and it came at the hands of Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu.

Barer was all in and at risk with the {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}, dominating the {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} that Negreanu held. The flop, turn, and river weren't too kind to Barer, though, as it came {Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades} to give Negreanu the winning hand.

With that, Barer was off to the payout desk to collect his $71,400 in winnings.

Chris Klodnicki Eliminated in17th Place ($80,480)

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Chris Klodnicki
Chris Klodnicki

Chris Klodnicki raised to 35,000 from the button and Marvin Rettenmaier defended his big blind. The flop brought {A-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs} and Rettenmaier check-called 35,000.

On the turn the {8-Diamonds} hit and Rettenmaiaer checked again after which Klodnicki bet 80,000. Rettenmaier check-raised all in and Klodnicki called off for a total of 255,000.

Klodnicki showed {A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and he was in good shape against the German's {K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}.

The river brought the {6-Diamonds} and Rettenmaiaer hit his flush eliminating Klodnicki in the process. Everyone noticed this except for Klodnicki who was stacking down his chips, waiting for Rettenmaiaer to pay up.

After about six seconds Daniel Negreanu spotted that Klodnicki wasn't just handing over his chips to Rettenmaiaer.

"You lost man," Negreanu said in the nicest way possible after which Klodnicki jumped up and realized what had happened. Klodnicki was eliminated and just 16 players remain.

Philipp Gruissem -- 16th Place

Jacob Carl Schindler raised to 32,000 from under the gun, and action folded over to Philipp Gruissem in the cutoff seat. He reraised all in for around 300,000. Play got back to Schindler, and he eventually made the call with the {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. Gruissem had the {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}.

Although Gruissem took the lead on the {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop, the {3-Diamonds} and {A-Diamonds} followed to give Schindler a diamond flush. Schindler had Gruissem covered and sent the German star to the rail in 16th place for $80,480.
