Saragas Rivers a Pair

Level 20 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

From the small blind, Ty Saragas raised to 90,000. Alex Huot called from the big blind, and the flop came down {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. Both players checked, and the turn was the {A-Clubs}. Both checked again, and the river was the {7-Diamonds}. Saragas bet 80,000, and Huot called.

"I've got a seven," said Saragas, turning over the {Q-Spades}{7-Hearts}.

Huot mucked, and Saragas won the pot.

John Koo Eliminated in 7th Place; William Butcher Eliminated in 8th Place ($1,505)

Level 20 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

John Koo and William Butcher were just eliminated in the same hand, with both of their bounties going to Alex Huot in a big three-way clash.

On the button, Butcher moved all in for 285,000. Huot received a count from the small blind, then called. Kok reraised all in for a little more than Butcher's shove at 340,000. Huot called the extra bit and showed the {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. Butcher had the {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, and Koo had the {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}.

Huot vaulted into the lead on the {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} flop. The turn was the {2-Spades}, and the river was the {K-Hearts}. Both Koo and Butcher were eliminated, but it was Koo earning the higher finishing position due to his larger chip stack going in. Even so, both players walked away with the same $1,505 payday thanks to the deal that was made.

A Deal Has Been Made

Level 19 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

The remaining nine players requested the clock to be paused while they discussed a deal. The result was an agreement between all nine players to each take $1,505 in prize money, leave a total of $575 for the dealers, and then play for $1,000 and the trophy.

All bounties will still be available to be won and the $565 Main Event seat is still up for grabs for a few players.

Saragas Continues To Climb

Level 19 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Oskar Sandberg limped in from first position, Kevin O'Donnell limped from middle position, and Jeremy Conant raised to 75,000 from middle position. Next up behind Conant was Ty Saragas, and he reraised to 190,000 from the hijack seat. Everyone folded, and Saragas won the pot.
