Bartlett Turns a Set and Gets Paid

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Cody Bartlett
Cody Bartlett

Chris Berry jammed for 130,000 from the big blind with an {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Hearts} board on the felt, and Adam Craig folded in middle position. Cody Bartlett snap-called for his last 110,000 in the cutoff, and for good reason:

Cody Bartlett: {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}
Chris Berry: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

Bartlett's set held on the {6-Diamonds} river, and he doubled up. Berry busted one hand later.

Lundstrom Runs Into Rockets

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Joel Lundstrom
Joel Lundstrom

Mark Rathe limped in from the cutoff, and Joel Lundstrom jammed for 95,000 from the button. Henry Gingerich three-bet jammed for 115,000 in the small blind, and Rathe folded.

Joel Lundstrom: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Henry Gingerich: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

Gingerich would end up with aces-full on an {a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{q-Spades} runout, and he eliminated Lundstrom. At the same time, Terry Gardner busted at an outer table to bring the field down to 41 players.

Pigago and Dace Out

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Danny Pigago
Danny Pigago

Danny Pigago jammed for 43,000 from the cutoff, and was at risk against Jose Mendoza on the button.

Danny Pigago: {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Jose Mendoza: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

"I'm live!" Pigago said with a grin.

Pigago hit top pair on the {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} flop to take the lead, and held on the {j-Clubs} turn. The {k-Hearts} river gave Mendoza Broadway, however, and Pigago was eliminated, just shortly after John Dace also made his exit from the tournament.

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
John Ames
John Ames

John Ames had his last 110,000 in preflop from the cutoff, and was at risk against Alex Wheeler in middle position.

John Ames: {a-Spades}{7-Spades}
Alex Wheeler: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}

Both players paired up on the {2-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} flop, and Wheeler picked up extra outs on the {10-Clubs} turn with a gutshot. The {8-Clubs} river bricked off, and Ames doubled up.

Bermudes Leaves Elmore on Fumes

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Brandon Elmore
Brandon Elmore

Brandon Elmore raised to 25,000 on the button, and Jose Bermudes called in the small blind.

Bermudes led out for 35,000 on the {4-Spades}{8-Spades}{a-Diamonds} flop, and Elmore called.

Bermudes bet 40,000 on the {3-Spades} turn, and Elmore jammed for 177,000. Bermudes called off for 171,000 total.

Jose Bermudes: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}
Brandon Elmore: {6-Spades}{2-Spades}

Both players held a flush, but the ace-high flush of Bermudes held on the {8-Clubs} river when Elmore couldn't spike a straight flush. The duo shared a fist bump after the hand, and Elmore was left with under a big blind.

Cash Carpenter
Cash Carpenter

Brandon Elmore jammed for 13,000 from under the gun, and Cash Carpenter three-bet to 25,000 from early position. John Reiss four-bet jammed for 117,000 in the small blind, and Carpenter called.

Brandon Elmore: {k-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
John Reiss: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Cash Carpenter: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Reiss ended up with the second nut flush on a {7-Spades}{6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{9-Spades} runout, and he eliminated Elmore while doubling through Carpenter.

"Are these the lucky ones?" Carpenter asked the dealer as he pulled back his remaining 30,000 in chips. One hand later, those chips were gone from Carpenter's stack and he was eliminated, as well.

Kelly Murphy jammed for 99,000 from early position, and Cody Bartlett called in middle position.

Kelly Murphy: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Cody Bartlett: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

Murphy picked up a gutshot on the {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop, and some counterfeit outs on the {10-Diamonds} turn, but bricked the {2-Clubs} river to bust.

At the same time, Jack Pickel busted at a different table, and the remaining field of 27 is redrawing for the final three tables.

Bartlett Gets Lucky to Felt Wheeler

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Alex Wheeler
Alex Wheeler

Cody Bartlett raised to 35,000 from under the gun, and Alex Wheeler three-bet to 100,000 on the button. Bartlett tanked for a minute before four-bet shoving, and Wheeler called off his 360,000 stack after a few moments of thought.

Alex Wheeler: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Cody Bartlett: {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

Wheeler grimaced as the {a-Spades} showed as the window card, followed by the rest of the {5-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop. Bartlett hit two pair and held the lead, but Wheeler shouted, "Deuce!" when the {4-Diamonds} turn gave him some chop outs. The {7-Hearts} fell on the river, and Wheeler was eliminated.
