"You Show Me What You Muck and I'll Show You What You Lost To"

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Mike Holm opened to 110,000 on the button and got three-bet to 240,000 by Chance Lautner in the big blind. Holm called, and the dealer dropped a flop of {2-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{9-Spades}. Lautner continuation-bet 200,000, and Holm shoved all in for 1.55 million effective.

"Got a big one?" Lautner asked.

"You show me what you muck and I'll show you what you lost to," Holm replied.

Lautner showed {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for bottom pair, and his read was on as Holm turned over {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}.

Lautner Calls Three Barrels

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Chance Lautner defended his big blind from a raise to 100,000 by small blind Jonathan Olson. Olson fired 110,000 more on the {9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{q-Spades} flop, then 200,000 on the {k-Hearts} turn. A {2-Clubs} finished the community, and Olson barreled once more for 300,000. Lautner checked his cards once, twice, and then announced a call.

Lautner's {q-Hearts}{j-Spades} was good, and Olson mucked.

David Gonia Eliminated in 4th Place ($26,594)

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
David Gonia - 4th Place
David Gonia - 4th Place

Mike Holm opened to 85,000 in the cutoff, and David Gonia three-bet to 185,000 in the small blind. Holm called, and the two took in a {j-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} flop. Gonia continued for 175,000 and was called, seeing a {2-Diamonds} turn. Gonia loaded up the second bullet and fired: 325,000. Holm thought long and hard this time, leaning back in his chair and checking the tournament information screen. He finally called, and action went check-check on the {4-Spades} river.

"Sixes," Gonia said.

Holm had it beat: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for a pair of aces.

The next hand, Gonia opened for 85,000 on the button and got three-bet to 200,000 by Chance Lautner. Gonia jammed, and Lautner thought for about a minute before opting for a call.

"Sixes again," Gonia said, flipping {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}.

This time he had gotten the money in ahead as Lautner had {a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}.

The dealer spread the flop: {q-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}, a disaster for Gonia since it gave his opponent trips.

"You still have outs," Jonathan Olson said.

That was only true for about five more seconds, as the {a-Spades} peeled off on the turn for quads. A cruel {6-Clubs} completed the board, and Gonia was left with just a few big blinds.

Gonia was eliminated by Holm's two pair a few hands later.

Frank Huschle Eliminated in 5th Place ($20,291)

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Frank Huschle - 5th Place
Frank Huschle - 5th Place

Mike Holm opened for 85,000 in the cutoff, and Jonathan Olson called on the button. Frank Huschle put his last 140,000 in from the big blind, and both opponents called, checking down the {3-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{9-Spades} board.

Olson tabled {a-Hearts}{j-Spades} for a pair of jacks.

"I almost hit a flush," Huschle said, showing {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for missed clubs on the turn.

Almost only counts in horseshoes, darts, and hand grenades, as they say, so Huschle grabbed the fifth-place payout ticket.

Chance Langeness - 6th Place
Chance Langeness - 6th Place

Chance Langeness open-shoved the button for 440,000, and Mike Holm asked for a count before interjecting.

"Whatever it is, I call it."

Jonathan Olson folded the big blind.

Langeness: {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Holm: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The board ran out in Holm's favor: {9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}, and he collected his neighbor's stack.
