Young Eliminated on Bubble

Level 15 : 0/0, 25,000 ante

Andrew Robl moved all in and Justin Young called from the cutoff.

Robl: {q-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Young: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

Young had the goods but short-deck odds didn't make him much of a favorite. The {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{a-Clubs} improved both players, but Young still needed the board to pair as he was up against a straight. The {8-Spades} didn't do it and neither did the {9-Spades}.

"That's all right," Young said, cheerfully enough, shipping his 950,000 or so into the middle. "It was still fun."

Nitsche Doubles Through Robl Again

Level 15 : 0/0, 25,000 ante

Robl: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Nitsche: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}

Robl had the best of it after the {9-Spades}{a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} flop but Nitsche picked up outs with the {10-Clubs} turn. He made his straight when the {k-Hearts} hit. Robl sent over 1,865,000.

Jason Koon Eliminated in 8th Place ($22,000)

Level 15 : 0/0, 25,000 ante
Jason Koon
Jason Koon

Ryan Tosoc called the all in shove of Jason Koon, who had about 500,000 in first position.

Koon: {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Tosoc: {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

The {8-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop gave both players flush draws.

"Nuts," Koon said.

The {k-Diamonds} turn paired Tosoc, leaving Koon drawing to the river, and the {8-Diamonds} river meant he was first to get a payout ticket.

Nitsche Takes from Robl

Level 15 : 0/0, 25,000 ante

From second-to-act, Dominik Nitsche raised to 350,000 and Andrew Robl called on the button.

The flop landed {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{K-Clubs} and Nitsche checked to Robl who bet 400,000. Nitsche called, and then both players checked the {6-Hearts} on the turn.

The river fell the {8-Diamonds} and Nitsche led out for 1,200,000, and Robl used his full extension of free time before folding.
