Level 24 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Daniel Hughes was all in against the bigger-stacked Ashley Frank a few seats to his right.

Daniel Hughes: A♦Q♥ All in
Ashley Frank: A♠Q♠

Hughes and Frank had the same hand, but the flop of J♠2♠2♦ had Frank freerolling Hughes with a flush draw. The 8♥ turn didn't change anything, but the 7♠ river gave Frank the flush to give Hughes his second beat of the hour as he fell in 14th place for $3,828.

"I get to go home and kick the dog," Hughes joked as he left.

Level 23 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Devin Arnone open-jammed a stack of 680,000 from the hijack and got action from Robert Michael in the small blind with a bigger stack.

Devin Arnone: 5♥5♦ All in
Robert Michael: A♦A♥

Arnone had run into aces and got little help from the 7♥2♦6♥ flop, but the 5♣ turn gave him a set before the 6♣ river improved him to fives full of sixes to double up and put a tough beat on Michael.

That's the second bad beat that pocket fives have delivered in the last five minutes.

Level 23 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

A big hand took place at Table 15 where Vincent Meyer was all in for 1,100,000 against the bigger-stacked Daniel Hughes on a flop of 8♣5♦8♠.

Vincent Meyer: 5♣5♥ All in
Daniel Hughes: J♥J♦

"I've got a full house," Meyer said as he revealed fives full.

"I can hit an eight!" Hughes said before the 5♠ hit on the turn to give Meyer quads. "No I can't!"

Hughes was drawing dead heading to the 4♣ river and he secured a big double.

"Alright, I'll take 14th place," Hughes said grimly. "I'm not afraid to bust."

Level 23 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

A massive pot took place between Derek Baxter in early position and Robert Michael on the button.

Baxter bet on the flop of 2♦K♣Q♦ and Michael raised all in for around 1,200,000. Baxter quickly called with a slightly smaller stack.

Derek Baxter: A♦J♦ All in
Robert Michael: K♥Q♥

Michael had two pair while Baxter had both flush and Broadway draws. The 4♠ turn didn't change anything, and the Q♠ river only improved Michael's hand as Baxter was eliminated in 16th place.

Timothy Black open-jammed a stack of around 250,000 and was called by the bigger-stacked Kyle Matthew.

Timothy Black: J♣8♣ All in
Robert Michael: A♠10♠

A jack-high flop made it look like Black would double, but an ace on the river marked his elimination in 17th place.
