"RevoltingBlob12" Next to Hit the Rail

Blinds: 10,000/20,000

"KnightsofNight" raised to 44,000 from under the gun, and "RevoltingBlob12" was the lone caller on the button. The flop came down {j-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Clubs}, and after "KnightsofNight" checked, "RevoltingBlob12" fired 37,845. "KnightsofNight" came back with a check raise to 110,600, and "RevoltingBlob12" called to see the {6-Hearts} hit the turn.

"KnightsofNight" moved all in, barely having "RevoltingBlob12" covered, and they would call the more than pot sized bet with {q-Spades}{j-Hearts}. However, they were drawing dead, as "KnightsofNight" had flopped middle set. With that, hand for hand play has started amongst the final eight.

"AFA5671" Eliminated in 7th Place ($1,930)

Blinds: 20,000/40,000

"AFA5671" raised to 240,000 from under the gun, a bet that was for about half of their stack. Action folded to the big blind, "dubbadell", and they reraised to put "AFA5671" all in. They called with {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}, and it was a classic race, as "dubbadell" showed {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}.

The flop of {a-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} shot "dubbadell" into the lead, and the board finished out {4-Hearts} and {q-Clubs}, giving "dubbadell" an unnecessary two pair on the river.

McNicholas Doubles With Aces

Blinds: 25,000/50,000

Michael "fubadbeatbob" McNicholas made it 250,000 to go from under the gun, and a few seats over, "KnightsofNight" made it 450,000 to go. McNicholas called all in with {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}, and was miles ahead of the {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} shown by "KnightsofNight."

The flop of {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{6-Hearts} meant that only running cards would change the hand now, but the {2-Diamonds} turn wasn't one of those, securing an easy double for McNicholas

"KnightsofNight" Doubles Back

Blinds: 25,000/50,000

Not long after losing that big pot, "KnightsofNight" would raise more than half of their stack to 250,000. From the big blind, "JesusTrackTeamC" set them all in holding {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}, but "KnightsofNight" had them dominated with {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}.

The board ran down {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}, and "KnightsofNight" faded the ten and flush draw on the river to double.

"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.

"KnightsofNight" Eliminated in 4th Place ($4,464)

Blinds: 35,000/70,000

"JesusTrackTeamC" raised it up to 146,775, and "KnightsofNight" called to see the flop come down {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. "KnightsofNight" checked, and "JesusTrackTeamC" continued for 154,775. "KnightsofNight" check raised it to 412,300, only to see "JesusTrackTeamC" move all in for 1,772,689.

"KnightsofNight" called all in for about 1,200,000 with {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}, but the top pair on board was far behind the aces shown by "JesusTrackTeamC." The {2-Diamonds} on the turn meant only another queen would change things now, but the {5-Diamonds} came instead, giving "JesusTrackTeamC" an unnecessary flush.
