The Bubble Bursts: Isaac "philivey2694" Haxton Eliminated in 4th Place

Level 20 : 2,100/4,200, 630 ante
Isaac Haxton
Isaac Haxton

Isaac "philivey2694" Haxton moved all in under the gun and picked up the blinds and antes as everyone else all folded. The next hand, it would still all be over.

Action folded to Fedor "CrownUpGuy" Holz and he moved all in to put the pressure on Haxton. Haxton called for 90,225 with pure Phil Hellmuth speed, as quick as possible.

Fedor "CrownUpGuy" Holz: {3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Isaac "philivey2694" Haxton: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The flop came {8-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, just about as exciting as it could come. Haxton flopped top set but he was in no way in the clear as Holz had flopped a flush draw and back door straight draw.

The {4-Spades} on the turn improved Holz's outs and, in tradition with how Holz has been running in 2016 so far, the river came the {J-Diamonds} to complete his flush.

With that, Haxton made his exit and the remaining three players were guaranteed $560,000.

Igor Kurganov Eliminated in 5th Place

Level 19 : 1,800/3,600, 540 ante
Igor Kurganov
Igor Kurganov

Action folded to small blind Igor "lechuckpoker" Kurganov and as the shortest stack at the table, he limped in. Big blind Fedor "CrownUpGuy" Holz bumped it up to 10,600. Kurganov made the call.

The flop came {8-Spades}{2-Hearts}{J-Spades} and Kurganov, with 61,519 behind in a 23,900 pot, checked. Holz bet 12,000 and Kurganov called.

The pot grew to 47,900 and Kurganov, with just under that behind, checked again on the {10-Diamonds} turn. Holz moved effectively in by betting 50,400 and Kurganov called.

Fedor "CrownUpGuy" Holz: {9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Igor "lechuckpoker" Kurganov: {Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}

Kurganov only needed to dodge some outs, but failed in that goal with the {7-Spades} on the river.

Down to 4 players now, 1 more player will go home empty handed.

The Rich Get Richer

Level 19 : 1,800/3,600, 540 ante

Fedor "CrownUpGuy" Holz raised his button to 7,800 and small blind Isaac "philivey2694" Haxton made the call. Big blind Salman "salfshb" Behbehani came along as well.

26,100 in the middle and {7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} to work with. All three of them checked and so the {A-Hearts} on the turn was seen for free. Both blinds checked and Holz bet 13,900 to take it down.

Change of Wording

Level 19 : 1,800/3,600, 540 ante

Yesterday, the host congratulated players busting out with making a deep run. This time, host 'SebastiP' used different wording to announce the bust outs of players going home empty handed.

HostSebastiP [Commentator]: Player 'fish2013' leaves in the 6th place.
HostSebastiP [Commentator]: I will be your Host today in case you need anything.
CrownUpGuy: smart move to change the wording
