The First Flop

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

After 15 minutes without a flop, including open shoves from both Carl Carodenuto and Rich Alsup, Ryan Tyler raised to 105,000 and Vladimir Revniaga three-bet, making it 215,000.

It folded back to Tyler and he called to send them heads-up to the final table's first flop. They both checked the {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop, but Tyler opened for 250,000 on the {7-Clubs} turn and took it down.

Stevermer Out; Final Table Set

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Kirby Rogers open shoved 423,000 and DJ Buckley looked him up in the big blind with the {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}.

Rogers was in trouble with the {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, but the {5-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} board made him a jack-high straight.

A hand later, Rogers called Dennis Stevermer's 400,000-chip shove with {a-}{q-} and made Broadway to crack his pocket queens.

With ten players left the final table is set and the players will get a few instructions before being sent off on a dinner break.

Sami Sent Packing

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Sami Saad El-Dein shoved for less than 200,000 with the {k-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and Brian Berthiaume looked him up with the dominating {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades} in the big blind.

The board ran out {8-Spades}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{a-Spades} taking El-Dein with it.

Down to 11 now, the final table of ten will be set with just one more elimination.

Can't Kill Carl

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Carl Carodenuto open shoved 309,000 and Kirby Rogers looked him up with the {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}.

Carodenuto was in bad shape with the {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}, but got what he needed from the {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Spades}{q-Diamonds} board to survive and cut Rogers down drastically.

Favreau's A Favorite

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Dan Favreau and Brian Berthiaume got in 75,000 a piece before the flop, then another 300,000 each once they had both flopped a set.

Favreau's aces were better than Berthiaume's fours and he doubled through, leaving Berthiaume under ten big blinds.
