Reiss Knocks Out Elmore, Doubles Through Carpenter

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
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.

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.

Ames Hangs on For a Double

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.

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.

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.

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.

Queen Takes Most of Slough's Stack

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Jeremiah Slough
Jeremiah Slough

After an open from Dave Queen in the hijack, Jeremiah Slough three-bet shoved for 148,000 on the button. Action folded back to Queen, who snap-called for 140,000.

Dave Queen: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Jeremiah Slough: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Slough was drawing dead by the turn of a {j-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} runout, and he parted with almost all of his chips in the process. Slough was unable to rally and busted a short time later.

Blake O'Brien

Blake O'Brien jammed for 90,000 from the cutoff, and Nathan Steuer called after a few moments of thought in the big blind.

Blake O'Brien: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Nathan Steuer: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

"What took you so long?" O'Brien asked.

Nothing changed on a clean {q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Hearts} runout, and O'Brien was eliminated.

Chris Berry bet 22,000 from under the gun on a {9-Spades}{2-Hearts}{a-Spades} flop, and Nick Barksdale raised to 51,000 from the cutoff. Berry four-bet shoved for 140,000, and Barksdale went deep into the tank.

Two minutes ticked by before Barksdale, who had a similarly sized stack to Berry, elected to fold.

Brad Sjostrom
Brad Sjostrom

Brad Sjostrom raised to 15,000 from the cutoff, and Jose Bermudes three-bet to 41,000 in the big blind. Sjostrom four-bet shoved for 100,000 and Bermudes called.

Brad Sjostrom: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Jose Bermudes: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}

Bermudes hit top set on the {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop to leave Sjostrom looking for running cards for quads or a straight to survive. The {q-Clubs} turn and {3-Diamonds} river blanked off, and Sjostrom was eliminated.
