Imsirovic Creeping Toward 2 Million

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

Ali Imsirovic raised to 48,000 after Elio Fox completed the blind and Fox tagged along for a {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} flop. Both players checked to the {j-Spades}. Fox bet big with 125,000 and Imsirovic called. On the {9-Clubs} river, Fox checked. Imsirovic bet 260,000 and Fox let it go after thinking briefly.

Matt Hyman Eliminated by Imsirovic

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

After the turn was checked through on a final board of {Q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{K-Spades}{7-Hearts}, Matt Hyman checked from the small blind over to Ali Imsirovic who bet 145,000.

Hyman check-raised to 350,000, and when the action returned to Imsirovic, he announced he was all in for around 800,000 and Hyman immediately called for roughly his 550,000.

Hyman tabled his {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}, but it would be Imsirovic's {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts} that would scoop the pot.

Hyman stood up looking directly at the board thinking he had won as he didn't see the board pair on the river.

"I was just hoping a spade didn't come. I didn't even see the seven," Hyman stated in disbelief.

As Hyman packed up his things, he headed to the rail in 14th place while Imsirovic furthered his chip lead over the field.

Aldemir Eliminates Greenberg

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

Bryn Kenney opened for 26,000 in the cutoff, Koray Aldemir made it 78,000 on the button and Larry Greenberg shoved in the small blind for 166,000. Kenney folded but Aldemir quickly called with {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}.

"That's not good," Greenberg said, tabling {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}.

The {4-Spades}{8-Spades}{2-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} brought nothing for him and he headed out.

Two Pair for Schindler

Level 13 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Jason Koon raised under the gun to 22,000 and Jake Schindler defended his big blind.

The flop landed {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and Schindler checked to Koon who continued for 15,000.

Schindler called, and when the turn landed the {4-Clubs}, he checked again. Koon bet 32,000, and Schindler called before both players checked the {8-Diamonds} on the river.

Schindler tabled his {K-Clubs}{6-Spades} for two pair, and Koon flashed the {10-Diamonds} and mucked.
