Eric Fetter
Eric Fetter

David Kim raised his button to 55,000. Eric Fetter was next to act in the small blind and moved all in for 331,000. The big blind folded and Kim snap called.

Eric Fetter: {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
David Kim: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

The ace-high flop {3-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} sent Fetter into the lead. The {9-Spades} turn improved him to two pair, and he was able to fade a jack as the river came {8-Spades}.

Nasty River Leads to Howard's Demise

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Doug Howard
Doug Howard

Paul Campbell got his stack of 193,000 all in preflop and was in a bad spot against Doug Howard.

Doug Howard: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Paul Campbell: {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Campbell had a kicker problem, though the {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop did give him a gutshot straight. The {7-Diamonds} turn put out some chop options but it was the {10-Hearts} river that would give Campbell the double and leave Howard with just 15,000 in chips. Howard went bust a few hands later.

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Lou Ojeda
Lou Ojeda

Lou Ojeda was under the gun and moved all in for 297,000. Thomas Roe was in middle position and called. The rest of the players got out of the way and they flipped their cards over.

Lou Ojeda: {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Thomas Roe: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

There was a queen on the {5-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{8-Clubs} flop to give Ojeda the lead. The {8-Diamonds} turn and {8-Hearts} river improved Ojeda to a full house and he now sits with almost 650,000 chips.

Mahfooth Sends Husein to the Rail

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Wasim Mahfooth
Wasim Mahfooth

The preflop action escaped us but we do know Yassar Husein got his stack of roughly 200,000 all in preflop and he was at risk against Wasim Mahfooth.

Wasim Mahfooth: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Yassar Husein: {10-Spades}{7-Hearts}

The {10-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{9-Spades} flop paired Husein but it also gave Mahfooth a set. The {8-Spades} turn kept Husein drawing live but he missed when the {k-Spades} bricked on the river. Husein headed to the payout desk in 58th place to collect $3,913.

Ian Matakis

With a pay jump looming, Minnesota's Ian Matakis raised to 150,000 of his 159K stack from the under-the-gun position. Action folded to Elliott Hebden who called from the button.

Elliott Hebden: {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}
Ian Matakis: {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Matakis took the lead on the flop and held onto it through the {a-Clubs} turn and {j-Hearts} river.
