In Level 10 with blinds of 500/1,000 and an ante of 125, "Lond13onE" raised to 2,200 in early position and Sridhar "sri100k" Sangannagari re-shoved for 23,956 on the button.

Angel "Chr0meKing" Lopez: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

An ace on the flop {9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} was all Lopez needed to pull ahead, fading the two outer on the runout {k-Diamonds}{6-Spades} to earn the pot and knock out Sangannagari, though only momentarily as he quickly fired again and received a new 25K with which to get back in on the action.

"PompYouUp": {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
"NasaLies": {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
"mikeyeager": {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
"Drunk Spew": {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

Nobody hit a set as the board ran out {3-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades}, leaving the aces of "Drunk Spew" best for the triple knockout and total pot of more than 165,000.

In Level 6 with blinds of 250/500 and an ante of 60, "EmasVrikes?" raised to 1,250 in the hijack and was called by "monkeyman067" on the button. "thekidraf04" three-bet to 6,000 in the small blind and "EmasVrikes?" four-bet jammed for 15,980. "monkeyman067" folded and "thekidraf04" called.

"EmasVrikes?": {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
"thekidraf04": {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

The flop {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} changed little, leaving "EmasVrikes?" poised for the double. Unfortunately for them, the turn {q-Diamonds} gave "thekidraf04" a full house that would remain best as the river {3-Clubs} completed the runout, eliminating "EmasVrikes?" from the tournament.

In Level 5 with blinds of 200/400 and an ante of 50, John "GameofEdges" Forlenza opened the action with a raise to 880 under the gun and received calls behind from "TiltedHard" in middle position and "vigman@135" in the cutoff. Frank "thewholefunk" Funaro also called, defending his big blind to take postflop action four ways.

The flop dropped {2-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Funaro checked to Forlenza, who continuation-bet 2,320. "TiltedHard" called and then "vigman@135" shoved for 40,055. Only Forlenza called.

"vigman@135": {10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
John "GameofEdges" Forlenza: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

Forlenza's aces had run up against a flopped top two pair and no help came for him as the turn {k-Clubs} and river {3-Hearts} completed the runout to result in the pot being shipped across the table to his opponent. Forlenza was left with just 437 after the hand and was eliminated shortly thereafter.
