Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Levi Klump
Levi Klump

Patrick Caulfield raised to 475,000 under the gun with the {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. From the cutoff, Levi Klump had the {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} and three-bet to 1,250,000 and Caulfield just called.

The flop came all hearts {7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, Klump bet 600,000 and Caulfield check-jammed to force Klump to decide for his tournament life which Klump called after a few moments.

Caulfield tabled his top set while Klump would need an ace. The turn was the {4-Spades} and the river the {2-Clubs} to eliminate Klump.

David Von Schnehen Eliminated in 6th Place ($41,650)

Level 32 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
David Von Schnehen
David Von Schnehen

David Von Schnehen jammed on the button for 2,500,000 and Gary Gelman called in the big blind and the cards were revealed.

David Von Schnehen: {a-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Gary Gelman: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

The flop was bad for Von Schehen as it came {10-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Clubs} and the turn gave him death by quads as the {10-Diamonds} came off to make the {5-Diamonds} river meaningless and bring the table down to five-handed play.

Daniel Hinh
Daniel Hinh

Patrick Caulfield raised under the gun to 600,000 with the {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, and from the button Daniel Hinh called with the {10-Spades}{9-Spades}.

The flop was a dynamic one as it came {8-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{k-Spades} to give Caulfield two pair and Hinh a pair and a flush draw. Caulfield bet 700,000 and Hinh called.

The turn was the {10-Clubs} to give Hinh trips. Caulfield bet 1,200,000 and Hinh called.

The river improved Hinh's hand more as the {3-Spades} gave him a flush. Caulfield led again for 1,400,000 and Hinh almost beat him into the pot with the call. The cards were tabled and Caulfield saw the bad news to lose a huge portion of his stack.
