Pease Sends Johnson and May III Home

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Justin Pease
Justin Pease

Brett Johnson moved all in for his last 175,000 in the hijack, Jasper May was next to act and put all of his 425,000 chips in the middle as well. Justin Pease had both players covered and moved all in over the top from the button. The blinds got out of the way and Pease was in good shape to score a double-knockout.

Brett Johnson: {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Jasper May: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Justin Pease: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}

There was no sweat after the flop as Pease flopped top set {5-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. The {2-Diamonds} turn locked it up. The meaningless {6-Diamonds} river completed the board and Pease eliminated Johnson and May.

"I Need Help"

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Thomas Roe
Thomas Roe

Thomas Roe moved all in for 430,000 from early position and Lou Ojeda isolated by shoving over the top for 495,000 from the button.

"I need help," Roe said even before the cards were turned over, and that turned out to be the case.

Thomas Roe: {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Lou Ojeda: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The {j-Clubs}{3-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop didn't do Roe any favors while the {10-Clubs} turn kept him drawing live. Unfortunately for him, the {6-Hearts} river was a blank and he hit the rail in 32nd place for $6,260.

Michael Bennett
Michael Bennett

Al Singletary started the action with a raise to 80,000 in the cutoff. Michael Bennett was in the big blind and moved all in for 605,000. Singletary called and the players turned their cards over.

Al Singletary: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Michael Bennett: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Bennett lost the lead for a brief moment on the {q-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Spades} flop but turned a straight {j-Spades} and had his opponent dead to a chop. The {8-Hearts} completed the board and Bennett now sits with 1,300,000.

White Saved by the River

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Marshall White
Marshall White

Marshall White moved all in from the cutoff for his last 306,000. Paul Campbell was in the small blind and moved all in as well. The big blind folded and White saw he only had two outs to survive when they both turned their cards over.

Marshall White: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Paul Campbell: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

There was no ten in sight as the flop came {4-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. White picked up flush outs on the {q-Hearts} turn. White stood up and was ready to walk to the payout desk, but sat back down when the {10-Spades} fell on the river.
