Keck Gets Ladies at the Wrong Time

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Donald Keck had to be feeling good when he looked down at {Q-}{Q-} and with a short stack it was an easy all in. Unfortunately for him, Jim Sybrant woke up with {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} and when the board ran out {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} Keck would be eliminated just a few spots short of the money. There are now 40 players remaining - four more eliminations to the money. They will go hand-for-hand when there are 37 left.

Mitts Gets Unlucky

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Joshua Mitts opened the action pre-flop and was called by Jesse Brown. The flop came {Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and the chips started flying with Mitts betting and then moving all in over the top of Brown's raise. Brown made the call and was behind with his {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} as Mitts had {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}.

The turn changed that though as it was the {K-Diamonds} to give Brown top two pair. Mitts still had some hope as any ace, seven, or five would give him the winning hand.

The river was not one of those cards, however, as it was the {J-Clubs} and a frustrated Mitts slammed his hand down on the table.

"Played it perfect," said one of the players at the table as Mitts left the room.

Tesfalidet Spikes Eight to Stay Alive

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

It was folded to Mesgana Tesfalidet in the small blind and she open-shoved for 116,000. Jason Brin was in the big blind and made the quick call after looking at his cards.

Tesfalidet had {A-Hearts}{8-Spades} and was in danger of being eliminated as Brin had {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}. The flop changed that though as it came {10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. Brin stood up, knowing he was in danger of losing the majority of his stack.

The turn was the {3-Spades} and the river was the {7-Clubs} and Tesfalidet doubled up to 235,000 while Brin dropped to 31,500.

"Two days and that happens," muttered Brin under his breath.

No Bubble - In the Money!

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Jerry Adams was eliminated in 38th place when his {A-Diamonds}{6-Spades} could not outdraw Steve Eoff's {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. Right as the tournament was going to go hand-for-hand, Rodney Spriggs was eliminated in 37th place when he got the last of his chips in with the nut flush draw against Terry Presley's middle pair. Spriggs didn't hit his flush and the tournament is now officially in the money.

Ellis Wins Massive Pot

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Matt Ellis opened for 20,000 and Darren Attebery called from the button. The two would see a flop of {9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Ellis checked to Attebery who made a bet of 40,000. Ellis check-raised all in and Attebery made the call creating a massive pot of over 650,000. Ellis had {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} which was way ahead of the {Q-}{Q-} Attebery held.

The turn was the {5-Clubs} and the river was the {10-Diamonds} and a shell-shocked Attebery was eliminated while Ellis easily assumed the chip lead with 690,500 in chips.
