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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

No Time Needed for Chivukula

Level 22 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Matthew McDowell
Matthew McDowell

Matthew McDowell shoved for just under 600,000 from the cutoff and Venkat Chivukula instantly bumped it up, putting in a stack worth over a million. The rest of the table folded and the player tabled their hands.

Matthew McDowell: {k-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Venkat Chivukula: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

Nines were dominating the hand and were still leading after the {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop. Some outs were gained when the {j-Hearts} peeled over but a {10-Clubs} river sealed it for Chivukula and McDowell was eliminated from the event.
