Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 4,000 ante

After running it up from 50,000 to 500,000, he got it in with {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds} preflop versus William Liang's {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} and busted out after a {9-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} board ran out.

Kuhlmann Out, Lingenfelter Comes Back!

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 4,000 ante

Blake Napierala raise-called a Dietrich Kuhlmann push.

Kuhlmann was ahead with {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} over Napierala's {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}, but Napieralla got there on the {8-Spades}{4-Clubs}{9-Spades}{k-Spades}{5-Clubs} run out.

In the meantime, Randy Lingenfelter has miraculously turned his tiny nub of a stack into heaps again, essentially doubling up three times.

Tighe, Urbanski Out; Lingenfelter Close

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 4,000 ante
Tom Urbanski
Tom Urbanski

Shorter stacks John Yanni and Randy Lingenfelter got it all in preflop with Yanni holding {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} and Lingenfelter on {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}.

Lingenfelter turned two pair on the {8-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} board, but Tanni's aces held when he made a club flush on the {2-Clubs} river.

In the meantime, on the other table, Pat Tighe ran out of gas running pocket eights into John Grace's {k-}{q-} all in preflop. Grace flopped two pair to bust Tighe 17th.

Then suddenly, back at the other table, Kirk Acevedo and Tom Urbanski got it all in on a {2-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} board to the turn. Urbanski had nines for an overpair, but Acevedo's {10-Clubs}{2-Clubs} spiked a flush on the {3-Clubs} river to bust him 16th.

With just 15th left Acevedo has heaps and is running away with this thing.

Stephens busted 18th, while over on the other table, David Battaglia got it in with {a-}{j-} versus John Grace's pocket nines and flopped a jack to double.
