Marius Gierse Eliminated in 15th Place ($11,100); Chris Hunichen Eliminated in 14th Place ($11,100)

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Marius Gierse
Marius Gierse

Chris Hunichen and Marius Gierse were all in against Jon-Michael Gisler, who had both players covered.

Marius Gierse: 95 All in
Chris Hunichen: AK All in
Jon-Michael Gisler: AQ

There would be no side pots to worry about as the board ran out 6Q3QK for a double knockout.

Hunichen was visibility frustrating after earlier losing a big pot to Jesse Lonis after getting it in with the best hand.

"You'll win all the money eventually," Lonis told him.

"I Told You, Don't F*** With Me"

Level 15 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Chris Hunichen open-jammed in the small blind and Jesse Lonis went in the tank as he considered calling off with his stack of around 25 big blinds. Eventually, he did.

Jesse Lonis: KJ All in
Chris Hunichen: A10

Lonis' risky bubble play paid off as the board ran out 69J28 to earn him a double on the money bubble, much to the annoyance of Hunichen.

"How does he always do it?"

"I told you, don't f*** with me," Lonis replied.

The two engaged in some further razzing after the hand.

"How do you wake up with ace-ten there?"

"It doesn't matter when you have king-jack."

Landon Tice was all in as the short stack against Marius Gierse.

Landon Tice: A10 All in
Marius Gierse: K8

The flop of 892 put Gierse far in front with a pair and flush draw, but the A turn gave Tice the best hand before the 6 river bricked off to earn him a double on the money bubble.
