Ken Ihringer - 14th Place
Ken Ihringer - 14th Place

Ken Ihringer was all in for his last 152,000, and Jason Robertson cut out a stack to match it in the big blind. He made the call.

Ihringer: {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Robertson: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

"I've got my nemesis," Robertson said as he showed, but he was way ahead. Nothin changed on the {5-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} board, and the Day 1b leader headed for the payouts.

Meanwhile, Dustin Kern and Vlad Revniaga busted from the other table.

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Lance Harris hit the rail despite getting it in with aces.
Lance Harris hit the rail despite getting it in with aces.

Ken Ihringer shoved over the top of a 16,000 open from Ryan Skluzak, and Lance Harris called off his stack of about 50,000. Skluzak folded.

Ihringer: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Harris: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

Harris got grim news as the {q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop left him in need of an ace. The {10-Diamonds} and {k-Spades} arrived on the last two streets.

"What else is new?" he muttered.

Vang Sends Stack to Skluzak in Three-Way All In

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Kou Vang busted in 19th.
Kou Vang busted in 19th.

Kou Vang raised to 16,000 from middle position and was called by Ryan Skluzak on his left. In the blinds, Steve Pint shipped all in for 43,000, and Vang shoved over the top for 93,000 total, causing Skluzak to stand up.

"Don't play scared," he reminded himself. "I call."

Skluzak: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Vang: {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}
Pint: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}

Skluzak flopped a gutter as the {6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} hit the felt, but running {k-Clubs} and {k-Hearts} came out, leaving the hands in the same order of strength they started. That meant Vang was gone, while Pint tripled up.

Bohn Sends Ouda Packing

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Blake Bohn opened for 12,000 under the gun, and Ahmed Ouda defended his big blind. On the {4-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop, Bohn bet 20,000 when checked to and Ouda shoved all in. Bohn quickly called.

Ouda: {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Bohn: {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

Bohn was well in front with top pair, but he had some additional cards to fade as the {j-Diamonds} turn gave Ouda a straight draw. A {6-Hearts} was a brick river though.
