Ploof Wins a Big Coin Flip
In Level 18 with blinds of 2,500/5,000 and an ante of 625, "YouPaid2SeeNuts" opened to 15,000 in the hijack and Matthew "ProfitablePloof" Ploof re-jammed on the button for 103,225. Action folded back to "YouPaid2SeeNuts" and they called for almost all of their chips.
Matthew "ProfitablePloof" Ploof: 
"YouPaid2SeeNuts": 
Ploof was out in front by a slight margin and stayed there through the runout 
to score the double, bringing him over 200,000 in the process. Meanwhile, "YouPaid2SeeNuts" was down to their last couple of big blinds, but found a double to find a small piece of life.
Moments later, "irishfan423" ran queens into the kings of "vikmod" to bust, and "FarmingYou" was also knocked out on an adjacent table. Twenty-one now remain, leaving the tournament just two away from the reaching the money.
