Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

At one table, the action folded to Marcus Paxton in the small blind who shipped all in. Vincent Freeman was in the big blind with less than 100,000 chips and called it off.

Vincent Freeman: A♠4♣ All in
Marcus Paxton: 9♥8♦

Paxton nailed a pair on the flop to take the lead and left Freeman drawing to just an ace. The turn and river provided no help and Freeman was eliminated.

At another table, Papa Karn got the last of his 115,000 in the middle with A♠10♠ and was up against the A♥Q♥ of Marlon Hammond. The board ran out Q♠5♣4♠4♥K♠ and Karn made a flush to triple up. Eric Salazar was also in the hand but folded his A♦K♣ preflop after Hammond had moved all in.

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Craig Welko raised to 60,000 from under the gun and was called by Rafael Lopez and Marlon Hammond in the blinds. The flop came Q♦10♠3♦ and the action checked around to the 6♦ on the turn.

Lopez led out with a bet of 90,000 which got Hammond to quickly fold. Welko raised to 225,000 and Lopez announced all in for 1,040,000. Welko deliberated for nearly two minutes before calling off his stack of 1,010,000.

Craig Welko: 6♠6♥ All in
Rafael Lopez: A♦Q♥

Welko had a set of sixes and just needed to fade diamonds in order to double up. However, it was the J♦ on the river that gave Lopez a flush and eliminated Welko.
