Dave Kohnke Eliminated in 7th Place ($18,056)

Level 33 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante
Dave Kohnke - 7th Place
Dave Kohnke - 7th Place

Aaron Thomas open-shipped from the under-the-gun position and action folded to Dave Kohnke, who called off for 1.4 million.

Kohnke: {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Thomas: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Kohnke had some kicker issues, which came into play when both paired their ace on the {6-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop. Neither the {3-Diamonds} turn nor {A-Diamonds} river helped Kohnke, and he took his leave in seventh place.

Keeline Taken to Prom

Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Ben Keeline open-shipped from middle position and Phanora Prom called off for 610,000 from the cutoff.

Keeline: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Prom: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

It was a flip, and Keeline maintained his lead on the {5-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop. However, the {A-Hearts} turn was gin for Prom, and the {K-Clubs} allowed him to double.

Kohnke's Turn to Double

Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Phanora Prom raised to 400,000 and action folded to Dave Kohnke in the big blind. He tanked for about a minute before moving all in for 825,000 and Prom called.

Prom: {a-Spades}{3-Spades}
Kohnke: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

Kohnke was way out in front, and he shipped the double after the board ran out {j-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}.

Aweida Ships on Kohnke

Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Dave Kohnke raised to 360,000 from middle position only to have Sammy Aweida three-bet all in for 320,000 from the bug blind. Kohnke called and the cards were turned up.

Aweida: {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Kohnke: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}

Aweida got it in good, and he improved on the {a-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop. The {2-Hearts} turn left Kohnke srawing dead, and Aweida was shipped the double after the {5-Spades} was put out on the river.

Corey Zedo Eliminated in 9th Place ($9,839)

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
Corey Zedo - 9th Place
Corey Zedo - 9th Place

Action folded to a short-stacked Corey Zedo in middle position and he moved all in. Ben Keeline, who was to his direct left, then moved all in over the top from the hijack. The rest of the players folded and it was off to the races.

Zedo: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Keeline: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

The {4-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop was disaster for Zedo as Keeline flopped top set.

"Hearts," Zedo requested. The dealer obliged by putting out the {7-Hearts} turn. Another heart on the river would result in a chop, but it wasn't meant to be as the {a-Clubs} bricked.

More for Angstead

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

Ben Keeline opened for 275,000 from the button and Don Angstead called from the small blind. The {3-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop saw Angstead check-call a bet of 275,000, and then both players checked the {5-Spades} turn. When the {4-Hearts} completed the board on the river, Angstead led out for 375,000 and Keeline folded.
