Heidbrick Eliminates Stoyanov Just Before Dinner

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

After Kfir Nahum opened the action with a raise to 75,000 Vyacheslav Stoyanov re-shoved his last 100,000. Amanda Heidbrick then four-bet to 250,000 from her big blind and Nahum made the call to create a side pot.

Heidbrick checked the {k-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop, Nahum bet 125,000 and Heidbrick check-raised all in, which got a fold from Nahum.

Amanda Heidbrick: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Stoyanov: {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}

The {4-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} runout was no good for Stoyanov and he was eliminated in 20th place.

While writing the last post we lost two more players to get down to the final two tables.

Almost immediately after the redraw the following happened:

Justin Ligeri raised to 90,000, Missy Bartelme three-bet to 320,000, and Ligeri made the call. After Ligeri checked the {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} flop, Bartelme moved all-in and was called by Ligeri.

Missy Bartelme: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Justin Ligeri: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Bartelme was ahead but had to fade Lugeri's flush draw, which she was not able to do on the {q-Clubs}{a-Clubs} runout that gave Ligeri the Royal Flush.
