Kenter's Night Comes to an End

Level 22 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Jeremy Kenter
Jeremy Kenter

Jeremy Kenter saw action fall on him and he elected to jam the hijack for around 385,000. Brian Lee raised from the button and the rest of the table ducked out.

Jeremy Kenter: {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Brian Lee: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Not much changed when {4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts} landed on the felt. The {3-Diamonds} left Kenter in need of a river but the board completed with a {k-Spades}. Lee pulled in the pot, adding a bounty in the process, and Kenter was eliminated.

Neyerlin Extends Lead, Weis Falls to the Wayside

Level 22 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Felix Weis
Felix Weis

Felix Weis had his 425,000 in the middle and Kenneth Neyerlin called, putting Weis at risk as they turned over their hands.

Felix Weis: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Kenneth Neyerlin: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

"You're going to love this," said Neyerlin as he turned over his hand, but Weis did not look thrilled to see the paint that he was against.

The dealer fanned out an exciting {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts} that hit Weis with a nine but Neyerlin added more outs. One of his outs landed on the turn, improving him to a pair of queens when the {q-Clubs} fell.

A {7-Diamonds} river cemented it for Neyerlin and Weis was sent to the payout desk.

Hunt Finds Cowboys but Neyerlin Finds the River

Level 22 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
ROBERT HUNT
ROBERT HUNT

The action was on a {j-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop when Kenneth Neyerlin bet 100,000 and Robert Hunt moved all in for a total of just under one million. Neyerlin took his time but ultimately, he called and Hunt was at risk.

Robert Hunt: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Kenneth Neyerlin: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Hunt was in a commanding lead heading into the {2-Clubs} turn and just needed one more brick to double from the leader. Unfortunately for Hunt, the deck slapped Neyerlin with an {a-Clubs} to scoop the pot, eliminating Hunt from the event and Neyerlin extended his lead even further.

Lee Ends a Heater Before Break

Level 22 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Brian Lee
Brian Lee

On the hand before the break, Brian Lee opened to 125,000 from under the gun and Kenneth Neyerlin defended his big blind. The dealer fanned out {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and Neyerlin tapped to Lee who pushed for a total 940,000. The red-hot Neyerlin took his shot at another bounty, calling the jam of Lee and they flipped their cards.

Brian Lee: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Kenneth Neyerlin: {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

The already scary board added some more sweat for Lee when a {2-Hearts} rolled out, giving Neyerlin a straight draw. It seemed almost impossible for Neyerlin to miss with how hot he has been running but Lee managed to fade, having an {8-Clubs} complete the board for a double.

Neyerlin took his bounty chip from the elimination of Robert Hunt and pulled an envelope, revealing $20,000 which was the biggest prize left in the pool.

Neyerlin Collects Another Bounty, Slutsky Takes a Walk

Level 23 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Sande Slutsky
Sande Slutsky

Venkat Chivukula opened from the hijack, Sande Slutsky called in the small blind, and Kenneth Neyerlin defends his big. The {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop saw action check to Chivukula who continued for 300,000.

Slutsky check-called and Neyerlin then bumped it up to 850,000. Chivukula chucked his hand into the muck and Slutsky moved all in, totaling around 1.2 million. Neyerlin snapped it off and cards flipped.

Slutsky tabled {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for top pair but was dominated when Neyerlin showed {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}, giving him a set of ducks. A king on the turn and seven on the river were of no help for Slutsky who took a walk to the payout desk.

Jason Gooch
Jason Gooch

Jason Gooch pushed 925,000 from the hijack and Zachary Hambrice raised the small blind. Matthew Cosentino elected to fold and four cards were turned over.

Jason Gooch: {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Zachary Hambrice: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}

The nickels stayed strong after the {k-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop but a {7-Spades} turn hit Gooch with the lead-changing seven. The river hit the rewind button, bringing the lead back to Hambrice who completed a straight with the {3-Spades}.

Gooch was eliminated in 11th place and the field is now just one away from the final table.

Hambrice Flops Large to Drop Hendrickson

Level 24 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Jamey Hendrickson
Jamey Hendrickson

Jamey Hendrickson opened from the cutoff, Zachary Hambrice called in the small blind and the dealer spread {j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Hearts} out as a flop. The action checked to Hendrickson, he bet 300,000, and Hambrice check-shoved. Hendrickson called for less and was at risk.

Jamey Hendrickson: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Zachary Hambrice: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

The set of nines had a firm grasp of the hand. The {j-Hearts} landed and Hendrickson picked up a couple of outs. A duck on the river was not one of them and he as eliminated in 10th, bubbling the final table.

Venkat Chivukula Eliminated in 9th Place ($10,931)

Level 24 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Venkat Chivukula
Venkat Chivukula

Richard Chevalier pushed his stack into the middle and Venkat Chivukula called for less in the big blind, having under a million.

Venkat Chivukula: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Richard Chevalier: {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

The race saw Chevalier take a commanding lead when the dealer spread out {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. The pair and flush draw of Chevalier had Chivukula drawing to just one seven or runner-runner.

A {q-Hearts} turn meant he could only hit the seven of hearts or his night was over. The {9-Clubs} completed the board, sending Chivukula out of the final table first.

Level 24 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Matthew Cosentino
Matthew Cosentino

The action folded around to Matthew Cosentino in the hijack and he pushed for around 950,000. Kenneth Neyerlin called and the rest of the table folded, leaving just two for a runout.

Matthew Cosentino: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Kenneth Neyerlin: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Cosentino turned over a strong hand in ace-queen but was behind the cowboys of Neyerlin. The flop rolled out, coming {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and Cosentino needed some help. He did pick up some more outs on the turn but a brick river shipped a bounty to Neyerlin with the departure of Cosentino.

Jason Aden: {a-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Christopher Adams: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
