Hand-for-Hand Play Begins

Level 15 : 8,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Following the elimination of Brian Rast, the tournament is now playing hand-for-hand.

There will be a two-minute run off off the clock for every hand dealt during this process until at least one more player is eliminated.

Brian Rast Eliminated in 10th Place

Level 15 : 8,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Brian Rast
Brian Rast

In a three-bet pot preflop, Brian Rast led out from the big blind for 70,000 on the {4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} flop.

Brandon Adams called in the cutoff as the turn landed the {K-Hearts} and Rast checked. Adams announced he was all in for 320,000, and after using two time extension chips, Rast called.

Rast: {Q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Adams: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}

Rast was drawing dead as the river of the {A-Clubs} peeled off to rocked Adams up to over a million while Rast would be down to just 11,000.

The following hand, Rast called all in from the small blind holding {10-}{3-} against Jared Jaffee's {K-}{K-}. No help came for Rast, and he fell in 10th place.

Klein Doubles Through Rast

Level 14 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Jared Jaffee raised to 27,000 under the gun and Bill Klein jammed for 177,000. Brian Rast reshoved with what he said was 550,000 more. Jaffee thought a bit and folded.

Klein: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Rast: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

The {5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{q-Spades} flop was a promising one for Klein as he needed to only fade the last two nines. The {2-Hearts} and {3-Spades} improved him to a straight. Jaffee indicated he folded the winner.

Negreanu mucked, but Nitsche tabled the winning {K-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for a flush.

Ben Lamb
Ben Lamb

Ben Lamb opened under the gun to 27,000 before Jake Schindler three-bet his button to 51,000. Action folded back to Lamb, and he moved all in for roughly 315,000. Schindler called.

Lamb: {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Schindler: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}

Lamb was at-risk and trailing, but caught life on the {5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop.

Unfortunately, Schindler would snatch back the lead as the turn and river fell the {K-Hearts} and {K-Spades}, and Lamb was eliminated in 11th place.
