Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
"Red Bull" Robbie Thompson has to content himself with a min-cash.
"Red Bull" Robbie Thompson has to content himself with a min-cash.

"Red Bull" Robbie Thompson shoved all in from under the gun for 61,000, and Phil Mader reshipped from the cutoff for 97,000. Everyone else folded.

Thompson: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Mader: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Things were grim for the dominated Thompson, and it got bleaker as the flop came {8-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, giving Mader a flush draw to close off the {a-Clubs} as an out. The {8-Spades} turn kept Mader in front, and a {6-Clubs} gave him a flush on the river to eliminated the well-known World Series of Poker tournament director and announcer.

Paul Skjerseth busted at another table.

Jon Kulkay is done.

Steve Belland bet 34,000 from the small blind on a board of {6-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades}, and Max Bergquist was tanking. He decided to call the bet, which represented most of his stack, and he was rewarded when Belland announced ace-high. Bergquist showed {a-Spades}{6-Spades}.

At another table, Jonathan Kulkay hit the rail when he ran {a-}{j-} into Herb Laney's {a-}{k-} and didn't get there.

Blake Bohn limped in from the small blind, and Justin Heilman raised in the big blind. Bohn shoved all in, and Heilman called off his 120,000 or so.

Bohn: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Heilman: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

Bohn's jacks held up after the community cards came.

"That's how you bubble," a disappointed Heilman said after forcefully rapping the table in submission.
