Palma Doubles

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante

Vince "Rambo" Palma moved all in for 490,000 from the small blind and Dan Wagner looked down at the {5-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and called. He was flipping against Palma's {J-Clubs}{9-Spades}, but the {8-Spades}{10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{K-Clubs} runout hit Palma hard and he doubled to 1.1 million.

Geoff O'Connor Eliminated in 5th Place ($9,988)

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Geoff O'Connor moved all in for around 600,000 and Dan Wagner called. What ensued won't be soon forgotten by either player.

O'Connor: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}
Wagner: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

Flop: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

"Sick!" yelled Blake Napierala from the rail as O'Connor spiked a jack to take a huge lead.

Turn: {A-Hearts}.

O'Connor had jacks full of aces and Wagner was drawing to four outs.

River: {A-Spades}

The table exploded as O'Connor's full house was counterfeited on the river and Wagner took the pot with aces full of queens.

"That's one for the Internet," said an onlooker.

Ramsay Rolling

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Buck Ramsay raised to 125,000 from the small blind and Jake Ostrander defended his big blind to see a {8-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop. Ramsay fired 110,000 and Ostrander called, bringing the {3-Spades} on the turn. Ramsay bet again — this time 175,000 — and Ostrander called.

The {5-Hearts} completed the board and Ramsay emptied the chamber with a bet of 265,000. Ostrander quickly called and Ramsay tabled the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} for a pair of queens.

Todd Saffron shoved for 575,000 from the button and Buck Ramsay reshoved from the small blind. Jacob Ostrander released, and Saffron was flipping for his tournament life.

Saffron: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Ramsay: {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

The {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{10-Clubs} board gave Ramsey the win, ending another great run during the series for Saffron. He was part of the 10-handed chop in Event #5 and went on to finish third for $4,850.

Travell Thomas Eliminated in 7th Place ($6,620)

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Travell Thomas
Travell Thomas

Travell Thomas shoved for 345,000 from the button and Jacob Ostrander called from the small blind. Thomas had only looked at the {A-Diamonds} before shoving and was pleased to see his other card was the {Q-Clubs}. Ostrander had the {K-Spades}{J-Spades} and needed to come from behind, and once again Thomas couldn't hold with the best hand as the {2-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} board gave Ostrander a pair of jacks.

"I lost every flip today," Thomas said. "How do you go this deep in a tournament and lose every flip?"
