Tollerene Under Six Figures

Level 12 : 3,500/7,000, 7,000 ante

With around 60,000 in the pot and a flop of {4-Spades}{7-Clubs}{k-Spades}, Jake Schindler checked from the hijack and Doug Polk did the same from the cutoff. Ben Tollerene then bet 25,000 from the button and only Schindler called to see the {2-Clubs} turn.

Schindler check-called a bet of 55,000 and then checked for a third time on the {7-Diamonds} river. Tollerene opted to check behind and mucked when Schindler tabled the {k-Diamonds}{10-} for kings and sevens.

Jason Koon Eliminated in 12th Place

Level 12 : 3,500/7,000, 7,000 ante
Jason Koon
Jason Koon

Jake Schindler opened on the button and Doug Polk three-bet out of the small blind. Jason Koon was in the big blind and shipped all-in for 355,000. Schindler folded and Polk snap-called with the best hand.

Polk: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}
Koon: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}

The flop came {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{10-Spades} and Koon flopped a set of jacks to take the lead. The turn was the {7-Clubs} as Polk now picked up a flush draw to go with his straight draw on the flop. The river brought the {q-Diamonds} and Polk made his straight. Koon was forced to pack up as he was eliminated. Polk's rollercoaster ride in the past 20-minutes has landed him in the chip lead.

Polk Takes a Hit

Level 12 : 3,500/7,000, 7,000 ante

Doug Polk raised to 16,000 from under the gun and Jake Schindler called from the big blind. The flop came {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Schindler check-called a bet of 27,000 from Polk.

The turn was the {9-Clubs} and Schindler checked again. Polk fired 35,000 and Schindler stuck around to see the {j-Diamonds} on the river. Both players checked and Schindler turned over {10-Spades}{7-Spades} for a straight on the river.

Stefan Schillhabel Eliminated in 13th Place

We picked up the action on the river with around 160,000 in the pot and a board reading {5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}.

Brandon Adams checked from the big blind and Stefan Schillhabel bet 110,000 from early position. Adams responded by check-raising all in for 261,000 and Schillhabel hit the tank, burning his last two time extensions in the process.

Eventually Schillhabel called only to muck when Adams rolled over the {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades} for a straight. Since it was an all-in situation, Schillhabel was obligated to show so the dealer revealed his {q-Clubs}{q-Spades} for top set.

Schillhabel was left with 22,000 afterwards but busted two hands later.

Haxton: {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The board ran out {3-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} and Seidel rivered a straight to eliminate Haxton in 14th place.

Negreanu Eliminated

Level 11 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu has been eliminated from the tournament by Steffen Sontheimer.

Unsure of exactly when the money went in, Negreanu held {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} against Sontheimer's {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} as the final board ran out {4-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{8-Spades} to see Negreanu miss two overs, a straight draw, and a flush draw.

With Negreanu out in 15th place, the tournament is now down to the final two tables.
