Ashley Sleeth raised to 45,000 from under the gun, then snapped off a three-bet shove from Lucas Hill in the big blind for 265,000.

Lucas Hill: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}
Ashley Sleeth: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Sleeth's hot run continued, as the {a-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades} board delivered her an ace and yet another knockout, while Hill had to settle for his second deep run at Run It Up Reno IX.

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Phil Beesley
Phil Beesley

Ryan Meyer raised to 45,000 from the hijack, and Phil Beesley three-bet jammed for 280,000 from the small blind. Ashley Sleeth four-bet shoved in the big blind, and Meyer folded.

Phil Beesley: {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Ashley Sleeth: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Sleeth's latest monster hand was good for the knockout after a {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{6-Clubs} board failed to improve Beesley past Sleeth's kings.

Valerie Hanley Eliminated in 6th Place ($5,270)

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Valerie Hanley
Valerie Hanley

Jeremy Pekarek raised to 40,000 from the cutoff, and Ryan Meyer called on the button. Valerie Hanley inadvertently put in 60,000 from the big blind, and was bound to the three-bet by the Tournament Director. Pekarek four-bet to 240,000, Meyer folded and Hanley called.

On the {6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop, Hanley jammed for 675,000, and Pekarek tanked for a few minutes, then made the call.

Jeremy Pekarek: {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Valerie Hanley: {a-Diamonds}{3-Spades}

Pekarek made a huge call with just ace-high and a gutshot, and his read was pristine, as Hanley was outkicked and needed only a three to earn the massive double. Instead, the {10-Diamonds} turn and {k-Clubs} river sent a nearly two-million chip pot to Pekarek with just ace-high on the flop!

Max Young jammed for 260,000 from the hijack, and Jeremy Pekarek called in the big blind.

Max Young: {a-Spades}{3-Diamonds}
Jeremy Pekarek: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The {6-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs} flop was dry for Young, as was the {6-Hearts} turn. Young needed an ace to survive, but the {10-Hearts} sent him out the door in seventh, his second final table performance of Run It Up Reno IX.

Ashley Sleeth raised to 32,000 from under the gun, and Lucas Hill three-bet to 80,000 from the hijack. Adam Johnson four-bet shoved for 221,000 in the big blind. Sleeth four-bet jammed for 900,000 and Hill folded.

Adam Johnson: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Ashley Sleeth: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Johnson's queens were coolered by the kings of Sleeth, and the {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop gave both players a flush draw, but Sleeth held the superior draw. The {6-Clubs} turn and {9-Clubs} river bricked off, and Johnson was eliminated.

Hanley Goes For a Triple-Barrel

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Jeremy Pekarek raised to 34,000 from early position with {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, and Valerie Hanely called in the cutoff with {6-Spades}{4-Spades}, as did Adam Johnson in the big blind with {a-}{4-}

Action checked to Hanley on the {k-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop, and she bet 50,000. Only Pekarek called.

Pekarek checked the {7-Spades} turn, and Hanley bet 75,000. Pekarek quickly called.

The {a-Diamonds} river was checked again by Pekarek, and Hanley bet 100,000 with the worst possible hand. Pekarek called with his pair of kings and won the pot.

Beesley Doubles Through Hill

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Lucas Hill raised to 40,000 from the cutoff, and Valerie Hanley called on the button. Phil Beesley three-bet shoved for 199,000 in the big blind, and Hill tanked for a minute before calling. Hanley folded.

Phil Beesley: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Lucas Hill: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}

The {10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop was no help for Beesley, but the {j-Clubs} turn added a gutshot to his outs. Beesley drilled the {q-Clubs} river, and he doubled up.
