After "ZakulAE" checked, Shahade moved all in, effectively for the 18,000 that "ZakulAE" had behind. They called with {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs} for top pair, but Shahade had turned a set with {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, sending a nice pot over to Shahade.

Jeff "TheSwagWagoon" Stellwagon Gets Unlucky to Bust

Blinds: 3,500/7,000

"fubadbeatbob" raised to 14,000, and Jeff "TheSwagWagoon" Stellwagon moved all in, barely having them covered. "fubadbeatbob" called with {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}, but they were miles behind the {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades} shown by Stellwagon. That all changed, however, after the flop came down {q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades}. Now Stellwagon was looking for a two outer, but it didn't come on the turn or the river.

That hand left Stellwagon with less than a small blind, and he would bust out on the next hand.

"JesusTrackTeamC" Doubles Into the Chip Lead With Quads

Blinds: 25,000/50,000

The trend so far at this final table seems to be that if you give a double up, you will get one in return. "JesusTrackTeamC" just benefited from this in the biggest pot of the final table so far.

"JesusTrackTeamC" started the action by raising to 101,000, only to see "1BoomSwitch" move all in from the big blind. "JesusTrackTeamC" would call for over a million chips holding {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}, and they were dominating the queens shown by "1BoomSwitch."

The flop of {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{9-Clubs} gave "JesusTrackTeamC" top set, but actually gave "1BoomSwitch" an extra outs, as one of the four remaining tens would work now. However, the {k-Clubs} came right on the turn, giving "JesusTrackTeamC" unbeatable quad kings.

"steelpens84" Eliminated in 6th Place ($2,433)

Blinds: 25,000/50,000

"steelpens84" opened the action by shoving all in for 393,968, and from the big blind, "dubbadell" would call holding {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. "steelpens84" was flipping holding {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}, but they would be all but dead after the flop of {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts} gave "dubbadell" middle set.

"steelpens84" would need running cards to survive now, but the board finished out with running deuces to give "dubbadell" a full house.

"1Boomswitch" Eliminated in 5th Place ($3,295)

Blinds: 25,000/50,000

"1Boomswitch" was down to less than four big blinds when they shoved from the button. "fubadbeatbob" made the call with {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, and interestingly enough, "1Boomswitch" showed the royal flush partners {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}.

The flop of {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}{j-Clubs} gave "fubadbeatbob" trip queens, and meant "1Boomswitch" would need running jacks or kings now. However, the board finished our running fours, which changed nothing in the hand.
