Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Calon Blackburn limped from early position before Jason Simon shoved for his final 34,5000 from the cutoff. Blackburn made the call and put Simon at risk.

Jason Simon: 8♠8♣All in
Calon Blackburn: A♣Q♥

It was a classic race between the pair and the overcards. The flop favored Simon when it came 4♦9♦4♠, keeping his pocket eights in front.

The 3♣ turn was of no consequence as Simon was one card away from a crucial double.

The river had other plans as it came when the A♥ and sunk Simon as Blackburn improved to a pair of aces to claim the pot and eliminate Simon.

The 6♦ turn, however, was a sweat as Stanford gained an open-ended straight draw.

Pritts held on the 2♦ river to secure the double.

John Davenport got it in against Carl Masters with Davenport at risk for approximately 62,000.

The A♣ turn was disastrous for Davenport as Masters pulled ahead with a pair of aces to put Davenport in a tough spot with one card left.

Masters would secure the win when the 3♣ peeled on the river to eliminate Davenport from contention.

Both remaining players checked it down on the K♦ turn and the 3♠ river to go to showdown.

Masters showed A♦J♥ for a pair of aces. Stanford showed A♠5♠ for a pair of aces, but with a smaller kicker, as Masters took the side pot.
