Chance Kornuth Eliminated in 7th Place ($192,780)

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Chance Kornuth - 7th Place
Chance Kornuth - 7th Place

A short-stacked Chance Kornuth open-shipped under the gun for 495,000 and Brian Yoon, who only had 20,000 more than that, moved all in from the cutoff. Nick Maimone called from the small blind to put both players at risk and the cards were turned up.

Kornuth: {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Yoon: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Maimone: {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}

"Good flip for you guys," Maimone said when the {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs} flop delivered both his opponents draws. The {9-Clubs} turn was gin for Yoon, who made a straight, and both Kornuth and Maimone were drawing dead headed to the {5-Diamonds} river.

Yoon tripled on the hand while Kornuth fell in seventh place for $192,780.

Sammartino's Climbing Back Up

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Dario Sammartino just raised before the flop and won the blinds and antes, and on the very next hand he made it 115,000 again. This time Nick Maimone called from the big blind and the flop came down {10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}.

Maimone check-called 75,000 and on the turn the {3-Hearts} hit.

Both players checked and turn, and the {5-Spades} river.

"King-high," Maimone announced, after which Sammartino raked in the pot after showing {A-Spades}{9-Hearts} for ace-high.

Beckley gave it some thought but settled upon a fold.

Winter is Coming... and He's Bringing A Lot of Chips With Him

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Sean Winter raised to 130,000 from the cutoff, Nick Maimone called from the small blind, and the both players checked the {5-Hearts}{a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} flop. After the dealer burned and turned the {6-Diamonds}, Maimone checked, Winter bet 155,000, and Maimone check-raised to 400,000.

Winter took his time before making the call and the {7-Hearts} completed the board on the river. Maimone led out for 520,000, and Winter responded by moving all in for 580,000 more. Maimone didn't seem thrilled, but he called with the {6-Clubs}{6-Spades} for a turned set. He didn't seem surprised to see Winter roll over a better hand, but he didn't seem to expect the {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for the rivered gutshot.

Josh Beckley raised to 130,000 and Sean Winter called from the big blind. The flop came down {9-Spades}{4-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Winter check-called a bet of 155,000.

Brian Yoon Eliminated in 5th Place ($347,760)

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Brian Yoon - 5th Place
Brian Yoon - 5th Place

Nick Maimone opened for 140,000 under the gun and action folded to Brian Yoon, who moved all in from the big blind for 1.035 million. Maimone thought about it for roughly a minute and then spiked in a call.

Yoon: {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Maimone: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}

"Jack, queen, or king," Maimone told his rail after the {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop delivered him a gutshot to Broadway. The {Q-Spades} turn was one of his cards, and suddenly Yoon was looking for a five on the river to stay alive.

Unfortunately for him, it wasn't in the cards as the {K-Hearts} blanked. Yoon will take home $347,760 for his fifth-place finish.
