McCormick Shoves With Ace-King

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Vladimir Troyanovskiy raised to 65,000 from the hijack and Ken Demlakian called from the button. Martin McCormick immediately moved all in, after having just lost a pot to Leonardo Pires, and Randy Kritzer gave it some thought from the big blind before folding.

Troyanovskiy folded and Demlakian tanked for a bit before folding as well. McCormick showed {A-}{K-} and he picked up the pot.

Demlakian Takes a Big One From Pires

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Ken Demlakian raised to 60,000 under the gun and Leonardo Pires three-bet to 162,000 from the cutoff. The action folded back to Demlakian, and he made the call.

The flop brought out {K-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades} and Demlakian checked to Pires who bet 150,000 and the Aussie check-raised to 360,000. Immediately Pires made it 925,000 and Demlakian tanked for a little bit before making the call.

The turn was the {10-Clubs} and Demlakian moved all in for 1,260,000. Pires tanked for a bit before folding, and Demlakian raked in a very big pot.

Waxman Chops For His Tournament Life

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

With a flop showing {3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} Matt Waxman and Leonardo Pires checked to Mike Watson who bet 125,000. Pires check-raised to 350,000 from the small blind and Waxman moved all in for 906,000.

Watson folded and Pires made the call right away.

Pires: {7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}
Waxman: {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}

Pires had flopped a straight, and Waxman was looking for running cards to double up, or a seven for the chopped pot. The turn was the {7-Clubs} and the pot was chopped up after the {Q-Hearts} completed the board.

Ami Barer Eliminated in 15th Place ($41,360)

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Ami Barer - 15th Place
Ami Barer - 15th Place

A short-stacked Ami Barer got his stack of 582,000 all in preflop and was in a classic race against Mike Watson.

Watson: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Barer: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

Barer needed to improve, and he did just that on the {k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop. The {6-Spades} turn meant Barer only needed to dodge one of two queens on the river, but that proved easier said than done as the {Q-Hearts} spiked to give Watson a set!

With that, the 2014 Aussie Millions champ took his leave in 15th place for $41,360.

Troyanovskiy Dumbfounded

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

With 667,000 in the pot and four players looking at a {6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop, Randy Kritzer checked the big blind and Matt Waxman did the same from middle position. Vladimir Troyanovskiy checked from the hijack, and Ken Demlakian bet 262,000 from the button.

After two folds, Troyanovskiy called and both players checked the {Q-Clubs} river.

"You got very unlucky," Demlakian said after Troyanovskiy showed the {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. Demlakian then showed he'd paired the queen on the river with the {q-Spades}{5-Hearts}.

Pires Loses the Chip Lead for First Time in Days

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Leonardo Pires raised to 100,000 from early position and Vladimir Troyanovskiy called from the cutoff. The {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{k-Spades} flop saw Troyanovskiy call a bet of 150,000 from Pires, and then both players checked the {J-Clubs} turn.

When the {Q-Clubs} completed the board on the river, Pires led out for 350,000 but snap-folded when Troyanovskiy raised to 750,000.

With that, Pires dropped to 3.817 million, which means the new chip leader is Mike Watson with 4.16 million.

When the {6-Spades} appeared on the turn, the unconventional McCormick moved all in for 906,000 and Pires quickly folded.
