Ryan Riess Eliminated

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

After Andre Akkari raised to 4,500 from the hijack seat, Ryan Riess reraised out of the cutoff seat to 10,400. Play then folded to Kenneth Smaron in the big blind, and he moved all in. Akkari folded, but Riess called with the {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}. Smaron had the {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}.

The {Q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop gave Smaron the lead, and the {J-Spades} on the turn and {5-Clubs} on the river finished off the board. With that, Riess was eliminated, and Smaron climbed to 145,000 in chips.

Kamran Busts Andrejevic

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Michael Kamran busted Andy Andrejevic on what was possibly the loudest hand of the PCA.

A player opened with a raise Kamran called and Andrejevic went all in for his last 20,000. Kamran was the lone caller.

Kamran had pocket twos, {2-}{2-}, against the pocket aces of Andrejevic. When a two hit the river, the table erupted as Kamran was video taping the whole thing, apparently assuming he was going to win despite being a huge underdog.
