Erick Torres

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Ryan Lynch got it all in against Robert Shoemaker from early position and was at risk for 293,000.

Ryan Lynch: Q♥Q♦ All in
Robert Shoemaker: A♦A♥

Shoemaker had a stranglehold on the hand, but the flop changed that in a hurry when it came Q♣Q♠7♥ to give Lynch quads.

The K♣ turn and 4♥ river completed the board to award Lynch the pot as Shoemaker's aces were cracked in a big way.

Shoemaker was left on fumes following the hand and was seen getting up and exiting the tournament area shortly after.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Benjamin Rohrs raised to 50,000 from the cutoff before Eldon Penn re-raised to 100,000 on the button. Rohrs called.

Rohrs checked the 3♠3♣4♦ flop before Penn bet 20,000. Rohrs called.

The 8♦ led to another check from Rohrs. Penn shoved and was quickly called by Rohrs to put Penn at risk.

Eldon Penn: 9♣9♠ All in
Benjamin Rohrs: K♥3♥

Penn held the overpair, but Rohrs had the best of it with his trip threes.

The A♣ river altered nothing as Rohrs collected a sizeable pot and Penn hit the payout desk.

Hopkins Spikes River

Erick Torres

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

There was over 200,000 already in the middle on a board that read 3♣A♥Q♠. Michael Hopkins checked from the hijack before Ben Burnett bet 150,000 on the button.

Hopkins responded with an all-in for 761,000. Burnett called for less to put himself at risk.

Ben Burnett: Q♦Q♥ All in
Michael Hopkins: A♠Q♣

Burnett was well ahead with his set of queens versus the top two pair of Hopkins.

The K♠ turn did nothing to change the hand.

Burnett would see his worst fear when the river was the A♥ to give Hopkins a full house and eliminate Burnett.

Erick Torres

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Drew Sommerer raised to 40,000 from early position before Jonathan Braker shoved for approximately 107,000 from the big blind. Sommerer called to put Braker at risk.

Jonathan Braker: J♠10♠ All in
Drew Sommerer: A♥Q♠

The flop gave each player something to root for as it came Q♥6♠9♠ to give Sommeror top pair and Braker a flush draw.

Braker hit his flush on the 3♠ turn, but he wasn't out of the woods yet with Sommerer holding a flush draw to a higher flush.

The 2♠ river was not what Braker wanted to see as Sommerer improved to a higher flush to eliminate Braker.

Erick Torres

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

This hand was picked up on the river of a board that read 2♣6♥A♦2♥5♦ with approximately 200,000 in the middle.

Tony Courtney shoved for 281,000 from middle position. William Margo took his time to make a decision before he opted to make the call out of the hijack.

"Good call," Courtney said as he revealed 8♥7♥ for a missed flush draw. Margo showed A♠6♠ for two pair to claim the pot and eliminate the Day 1b chip leader.
