"umvelt900" Eliminated in 9th Place ($15,440)

Level 42 : 500,000/1,000,000, 125,000 ante

Michael "SmallKindB" Sklenicka open-ripped from the button for more than enough to cover the blinds, "DTadevosan" tossed in the small, and "umvelt900" called their 15,309,120, putting themselves at risk.

"umvelt900": {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Michael "SmallKindB" Sklenicka: {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

An ace-high flop would usually be the best-case scenario for this spot but the rest of the flop had the opposite effect when the {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop landed.

"umvelt900" landed an ace but Sklenicka flopped the nuts and the {6-Clubs} turn left only chop-outs for "umvelt900". Outs that didn't come and the first elimination of the final table occurred in the process.

"1426395" Elminated in 8th Place ($21,659)

Level 42 : 500,000/1,000,000, 125,000 ante

Just moments after landing a double through "Soul0faSwan" it was "1426395" taking a ride to the payout desk.

"Naked:D" opened to 2,110,000 from the cutoff and "1426395" three-bet shoved, making it 28,350,364 to go. "Naked:D" instantly called and the cards hit their backs.

"1426395": {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
"Naked:D": {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

"1426395" found themselves in a tight spot and the {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop surely was not a flop they were looking for.

A {k-Diamonds} turn left "1426395" in need of a seven but the {j-Hearts} river rolled out instead, sending all the chips to "Naked:D" with their boat as they took the tournament lead, dropping "1426395" from the field in the process of doing so.

"Soul0faSwan" Takes from the Rich, Gives to Himself

Level 42 : 500,000/1,000,000, 125,000 ante

"Naked:D" raised to 3,560,000 in the small blind and "Soul0faSwan" called to take a look at the {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop.

"Naked:D" led out for 1,998,750 and "Soul0faSwan" called once more. The {q-Diamonds} fell and both checked to bring a {10-Diamonds} river card.

"Naked:D" check-called a bet of 7,015,000 and "Soul0faSwan" tabled {k-Spades}{10-Clubs} for a rivered pair of dimes. "Naked:D" mucked and a rather healthy-sized pot went to "Soul0faSwan".

Level: 44

Blinds: 700,000/1,400,000

Ante: 175,000

Two Biggest Stacks Collide

Level 44 : 700,000/1,400,000, 175,000 ante

Michael "SmallKindB" Sklenicka opened to 2,700,000 from the cutoff and "Naked:D" called in the big blind, bringing the {7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop to the felt.

Sklenicka continued after a check, betting 4,653,000 and "Naked:D" check-called. The turn was a {j-Clubs} and Sklenicka once more fired after the action fell on him, this time for 7,800,000.

"Naked:D" check-called again and the board completed with an {8-Diamonds}. "Naked:D" led out for 7,989,000 and Sklenicka quickly made it 36,000,000 to go.

"Naked:D" hit the tank but in the end, the chips went in the middle for a call and Sklenicka turned over {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} for a pair of nines. "Naked:D" showed {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, giving them the best hand with their jack to scoop the hand after a deep read river call.

Michael "SmallKindB" Sklenicka Eliminated in 7th Place ($30,385)

Level 44 : 700,000/1,400,000, 175,000 ante

Michael "SmallKindB" Sklenicka opened to 11,200,000 from the button and "ich_b1n_du" jacked up the price from the big blind for more than enough to cover Sklenicka who called the 6,845,010 that was behind, and he was at risk.

Michael "SmallKindB" Sklenicka: {a-Hearts}{3-Spades}
"ich_b1n_du": {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

Two small aces were looking like a chop but the devastating {10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop rolled out, hitting "ich_b1n_du" with a pair of sixes to take a commanding lead in the hand.

The {4-Clubs} turn card brought a straight draw for Sklenicka but a {j-Spades} river was of no help and he was sent packing in seventh place.
