Stewart Eliminates Echave

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Scott Stewart got the count of everyone behind then just put in enough to set everyone in from the cutoff. Adrian Echave called on his left for around 780,000 and everyone else mucked.

Scott Stewart: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Adrian Echave: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}

The board ran out {k-Spades}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades}{k-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, no help to Echave.

Johnson Doubles Through Baumstein

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Chris Johnson jammed for 1.1 million in the cutoff and Scott Baumstein put him at risk from the small blind with {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}. Johnson had two overs with {q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, and the {6-Hearts}{10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} was exactly what he was looking for. The {8-Diamonds} brought a few more cards to fade but the {a-Clubs} was a safe river.

Samuel Tsehai: {J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Luigi Knoppers: {J-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

Samuel Tsehai Eliminated in 23rd Place ($150,600)

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Samuel Tsehai
Samuel Tsehai

Samuel Tsehai jammed on the button for 860,000. Louis Boutin needed a time bank in the big blind but opted to call for most of his own chips, showing {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. He was dominated by {a-Spades}{9-Clubs}.

The {q-Spades}{7-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop brought Boutin a straight draw and there was no waiting as a {j-Hearts} hit the turn. The {8-Clubs} gave Tsehai only an inferior straight, and he hit the rail in 23rd.

Shakerchi Jams Into Stewart; Benger Doubles Through Marsh

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Picking up the action on the {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{J-Spades} turn, Scott Stewart bet 240,000 in the big blind and Talal Shakerchi called in the cutoff. The {Q-Spades} appeared on the river and Stewart quickly cut out a bet of 620,000 before sliding it forward. Shakerchi moved all in and Stewart asked for a rough count, which happened to be around 1.65 million. That was enough to force a fold from Stewart.

The very next hand on the same table, Luke Marsh opened to 170,000 and Griffin Benger jammed for 1,380,000, Marsh called instantly.

Griffin Benger: {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}
Luke Marsh: {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

Marsh took the lead on the {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop, but it was Benger that had reason to celebrate as soon as the {4-Hearts} turn guaranteed the double up. A meaningless {6-Clubs} came on the river and Benger doubled to an average stack.

Duta Doubles, Leaves Marsh on Crumbs

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Florian Duta ripped it in from the button for 1,460,000. Luke Marsh got the count and thought a bit before placing a chip in to call.

Florian Duta: {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Luke Marsh: {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The {4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts} community was as useless as it gets for Marsh, and he's down to about six big blinds.
