Bonomo's Set Nets Him a Huge Pot

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Justin Bonomo was all in for 309,000 on the {10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} board against opponent Ole Schemion. After a bit of tanking, Schemion made the call with the {K-Spades}{10-Clubs}. Bonomo tabled the {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds} for bottom set, and that meant Schemion was drawing dead.

The river completed the board with the {8-Diamonds}, and Schemion sent over the chips to Bonomo. He was left with around 425,000 while Bonomo moved to nearly 1 million.

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Jason Koon - Eliminated
Jason Koon - Eliminated

Jason Koon open-shipped all in for his last 121,000 and Justin Bonomo called from the next seat over. The rest of the table folded their hands and the cards were revealed to find the two racing for Koon's tournament life.

Koon: {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Bonomo: {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

Koon jumped out into a huge lead with two pair after seeing the {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} flop. Fourth street was the {2-Clubs}, putting three clubs on the board and giving Bonomo outs to make a flush. Unfortunately for Koon, the {5-Clubs} rolled off on the river and Bonomo's flush was ultimately the best hand. Koon made for the rail and Bonomo collected the pot. He's now sitting on about 570,000 in chips.

Gregg Eliminates Chinni

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Jesse Chinni was all in and at risk before the flop for his last roughly 45,000. Tony Gregg called from the button and the rest of the table folded.

Chinni showed {K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} while Gregg rolled over {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}. Gregg struck gold by flopping top two pair on the {J-Hearts}{A-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop and never released his lead as the {7-Spades} and the {K-Hearts} completed the board. Chinni hit the rail and Gregg scooped up the pot. He now sits on about 170,000 in chips.

Klodnicki KOs Smith

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Dan Smith (Day 1) - Eliminated
Dan Smith (Day 1) - Eliminated

Chris Klodnicki open-shipped all in from middle position and it folded around to Dan Smith who called all in for his short stack from the button. The blinds folded and the hands were tabled with Smith's tournament life at risk.

Smith held {J-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and was against Klodnicki's {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. Smith jumped out to the lead by flopping top pair on the {6-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop. The {3-Clubs} on fourth street changed nothing, and Smith looked in fair position to score a double up.

The river, however, ended Smith's bid at the title of 2014 PCA Super High Roller champion, when it brought the {10-Clubs} to give Klodnicki a winning straight to the king. Smith hit the rail and Klodnicki now sits on about 160,000 in chips.
