Stevenson Approaching a Milly

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

Shawn Stevenson raised to 42,000 from the hijack, and Paul Matzinger called in the big blind.

Matzinger checked the {5-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{q-Clubs} flop, and Stevenson pushed out a column of chips.

"Seventy-nine?" Matzinger asked the dealer.

"Seventy-eight." Stevenson answered. A moment later, Matzinger folded.

Adam Craig: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Paul Matzinger: {j-}{8-}

Matzinger hit top pair, but never caught up on the {10-Spades} turn and {9-Clubs} river, and Craig doubled up with nines-full.

Davidson Gets There and Gets a Double

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

Zach Davidson checked a {6-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop from the big blind, and Cody Bartlett bet 30,000 into a pot of 80,000 from the button. Davidson check-raised to 115,000, and Bartlett called.

Davidson jammed for 167,000 on the {9-Clubs} turn, and Bartlett snap-called.

Zach Davidson: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Cody Bartlett: {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

Davidson needed a five or eight to avoid elimination, and did just that on the {8-Spades} river, which led to a loud groan from the table at the river suckout.

Matzinger Flattens Hamm

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Daniel Hamm
Daniel Hamm

Daniel Hamm was all-in preflop for his last 160,000 from the big blind, and Paul Matzinger had him at risk from middle position.

Daniel Hamm: {9-}{9-}
Paul Matzinger: {3-}{3-}

Matzinger would not be denied, as a {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop gave him a full house and a commanding lead. Hamm couldn't catch up on the {k-Hearts} turn or {a-Hearts} river, and Hamm was eliminated.

Adam Craig Eliminated in 18th Place ($1,982)

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Adam Craig
Adam Craig

Adam Craig jammed for 74,000 from early position, and was called by Paul Matzinger in the small blind and Jose Bermudes in the big blind.

"Oh shit...that's not good for me!" Craig said.

"We'll triple you up!" Bermudes told Craig cheerfully.

The {k-Spades}{6-Spades}{a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{7-Spades} board was checked down, and Matzinger showed {a-Clubs}{4-Spades} for a rivered flush. "Ship it!" Matzinger said when he saw he has bested both the {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} of Craig and the {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} of Bermudes to earn the pot and knock out Craig.
