"Magxc" Eliminated in 6th Place ($1,503)

Blinds: 80,000/160,000

"Magxc" raised to 320,000 on the button, and "M45scdoo" defended their big blind. The flop came down {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, and "M45scdoo" check called a c-bet of 320,000.

The {a-Hearts} saw "M45scdoo" check again, and this time, "Magxc" fired 960,000. "M45scdoo" went for it all, shoving all in, and "Magxc" called for just a little less with {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} for a set of nines. They were trailing the turned flush of "M45scdoo", {j-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, and "Magxc" needed the board to pair to survive.

That wouldn't happen on the river, and a huge pot was sent over to "M45scdoo."

"tbryantiv" Eliminated in 8th Place ($764), "Commodore Solly" Eliminated in 7th Place ($1,071)

Blinds: 70,000/140,000

"blue38bomber" raised to 305,000, and "tbryantiv" moved all in for 480,000 and change in the small blind. "Commodore Solly" called that bet, but "blue38bomber" moved all in over the top for over three million. "Commodore Solly" called for 2.3 million and change holding {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}, while "tbryantiv" showed {a-Clubs}{3-Hearts}.

Both players were dominated by the {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} shown by "blue38bomber", and they would never have to sweat the double knockout, as the flop of {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{6-Hearts} all but sealed the hand. The {q-Diamonds} turn kept "Commodore Solly"'s miracle hopes alive, but the river didn't bring another queen.

Vince "FuglyFunGuy" Lestingi Crippled, Eliminated in 9th Place ($566)

Blinds: 60,000/120,000

"pokrherface101" limped in under the gun, and action folded all the way to Vince "FuglyFunGuy" Lestingi in the big blind. He moved all in for just over a million, and "pokrherface101" called for just a few chips less with {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. They were flipping against the sixes of Lestingi, and the sixes held on the {9-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop. However, a ten on the turn quickly flipped the script, and an ace on the river changed nothing.

That hand left Lestingi with just 20,000 in chips, and he would lose those on the very next hand, busting out first at this final table.

"pokrherface101" made it 600,000 to go, and "Commodore Solly" stuck their final million chips in. "pokrherface101" called with {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, and they were miles behind the {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades} of "Commodore Solly."

The hand was over by the turn, and "Commodore Solly" secured the double.

The board ran down {k-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{q-Spades}, and "tbryantiv" made an unneeded full house on the river.

"pokrherface101" Gets Us to the Final Table

Blinds: 50,000/100,000

"whitchip8250" raised under the gun to 412,500, and in the small blind, "pokrherface101" moved all in for two million and change. "whitchip8250" made the call with {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} but they were well behind the kings shown by "pokrherface101." The flop of {q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, changed nothing, but the {10-Clubs} turn did give "whitchip8250" a few more outs. The river didn't help though, and with that, just nine players remain!

Stay tuned for a seating chart with updated counts to be posted shortly.

"whitchip8250" Fades The Outs to Bust "MOC232323"

Blinds: 30,000/60,000

After "MOC232323" limped in under the gun, "whitchip8250" raised to 375,000. It folded back to "MOC232323", and they moved all in for 660,000. "whitchip8250" quickly called with {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}, and they were in great shape against the {k-Spades}{10-Spades} of "MOC232323."

However, the flop of {j-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Spades} gave "MOC232323" a world of outs, but the {a-Diamonds} on the turn cut out some of those outs. Only a spade on the river would work now, but the {2-Diamonds} came instead.
