Leo Fernandez
Leo Fernandez

With the clock stopped and hand-for-hand play underway four spots off the money, the first hand brought two all in and call. The first one to run included PokerStars Team Pro Leo Fernandez, who shoved from middle position for around 55,000. Bart Lybaert called in the big blind and their table was the first to run out the hand.

Leo Fernandez: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}
Bart Lybaert: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

The board came {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} and Lybaert spiked a queen on the river to deal the final blow.

Hinkle Eliminates Simmons

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

On a completed board of {q-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, Sam Simmons bet 55,000 in middle position into a pot of around 190,000. Blair Hinkle thought awhile and then set him in for his last 75,000 or so. Simmons leaned back and sucked in a deep breath. After about 30 seconds, he dropped in his chips and Hinkle instantly turned over {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for a straight.

Tournament staff instructed the players not to show and Simmons could only smile and shake his head, indicating he couldn't beat the flopped Broadway. He joked about saving the spoilers and eventually showed {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for a turned set when instructed to show.

Hinkle and Ramin Hajiyev are vying for the chip lead north of 1 million.

Badziakouski Eliminates Del Pino

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Omar del Pino
Omar del Pino

Omar Del Pino was all in with a massive crowd of cameras and onlookers waiting for the showdown. He appeared to have jammed early and had Mikita Badziakouski call him in the small blind for around 105,000. Finally, the cards were flipped over.

Omar Del Pino: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Mikita Badziakouski: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

The {j-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop gave Del Pino some outs. The {6-Diamonds} turn missed him and the {q-Spades} river wasn't the ten he needed.

Ryan Olisar raised it up from middle position and JC Alvarado shoved all in for 83,000 on his left. The action folded back to Olisar who made a quick call to put Alvarado at risk. Once the action completed at the other tables, the cards were tabled.

JC Alvarado: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Ryan Olisar: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}

It was a coin flip that Alvarado took the lead in when the flop came {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{j-Spades}. The turn was the {8-Clubs} and the river brought the {4-Diamonds} as Alavardo scored a double up through Olisar.
