"WadeDavenport"
"WadeDavenport"

Hand #1: In Level 26 with blinds of 10,000/20,000 and an ante of 2,500, "AsyncVoid" open-raised to 90,000 in the hijack, leaving just 2,912 behind that they called off when "OpusX6969" put them all in from the small blind.

"AsyncVoid": {a-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
"OpusX6969": {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

The first card of the runout {j-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Hearts} sealed the fate of "AsyncVoid", giving "OpusX6969" a pair of jacks that wound up holding to eliminate "AsyncVoid" in 14th place.

Hand #2: Just seconds later at the other table left in play, "WadeDavenport" opened to 40,000 on the button and "wicked_smaaart" defended their big blind. The flop came {9-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and "wicked_smaaart" check-called a continuation-bet of 32,250.

The turn came {8-Hearts} and "wicked_smaaart": open-jammed for 215,696, slightly more than the 172,000 in the middle. "WadeDavenport" called all in for less, totaling 201,400.

"WadeDavenport" {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}
"wicked_smaaart": {7-Spades}{5-Spades}

"WadeDavenport" faded the flush and gutshot outs on the river {10-Clubs}, leaving "wicked_smaaart" with just 14,296 behind that they wound up losing on the following hand when their ace-three could not get there versus the ace-ten of "milesoffamolly".

Twelve players now remain.

"santasworkshop"

In Level 25 with blinds of 8,000/16,000 and an ante of 2,000, "robgetsthere" open-jammed for 251,919 in middle position and "santasworkshop" re-jammed for barely more, totaling 289,508. All remaining players folded.

"robgetsthere": {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}
"santasworkshop": {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

"robgetsthere" didn't need to get there but they did need to hold in order to stay alive. The runout {7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{j-Clubs}{9-Hearts} complied and the pot of 541,000 was shipped their way, leaving "santasworkshop" with just two big blinds that were dusted off a couple of hands later when their pocket queens couldn't hold versus the queen-jack of "GoGreen35", who hit Broadway.

Fourteen players now remain.

"Drew9570"
"Drew9570"

In Level 24 with blinds of 7,000/14,000 and an ante of 2,000, action folded around to "wicked_smaaart" in the cutoff and they opened to 28,000. "Drew9570" three-bet jammed for 144,408 in the small blind and "wicked_smaaart" called once it was their turn to do so.

No snowmen came for "Drew9570" on the runout {7-Spades}{3-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and they were eliminated from the tournament as a result. Moments earlier, "22yardPUNT" was also knocked out, bringing the field down to 15.

"GoGreen35" Gets There To Knock Out "theduke8605"; Two Tables Now Remain

"theduke8605"
"theduke8605"

In Level 24 with blinds of 7,000/14,000 and an ante of 1,750, "theduke8605" raised to 30,800 under the gun and action folded around to "autokorekt" in the small blind, who called. "GoGreen35" defended their big blind, and the three players saw a flop of {2-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts}. Action checked to "theduke8605", who made a continuation-bet of 65,000 and received a fold from "autokorekt". "GoGreen35" then check-shoved for "theduke8605"s effective stack of 302,239, which they called to put their tournament life at risk.

"theduke8605": {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
"GoGreen35": {a-Spades}{6-Spades}

"theduke8605" needed to fade eight spade outs and three more aces. The turn {6-Diamonds} added two more cards to that total, which proved to be too many to avoid as the river {q-Spades} came to give "GoGreen35" the nut flush, earning them the pot and sending "theduke8605" to the virtual rail in 22nd place.

Others fell before and after the elimination, and just 17 players now remain on two tables. Here's a look at the updated second round of payouts, with the 18-26th place finishers each earning $503.

"bas50425"

In Level 23 with blinds of 6,000/12,000 and an ante of 1,500, "M4rtyMcFlyy" opened to 24,000 in early position and was called by "bas50425" in the cutoff. Action went heads up to a flop of {k-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and "M4rtyMcFlyy" made a continuation-bet of 42,000. "bas50425" raised all inf or 101,879 and "M4rtyMcFlyy" called.

"bas50425": {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
"M4rtyMcFlyy": {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

"bas50425" had gotten their chips in after flopping top pair but it was no match for the two aces that "M4rtyMcFlyy" held. The turn {8-Hearts} and river {10-Diamonds} left the situation unchanged and resulted in "bas50425" being eliminated from the tournament.

Their elimination happened just after the final three tables were reached, meaning their 27th-place finish has finished off the first round of payouts, with all of the following players earning $402 for their performanes.
