Level 22 : 15,000/25,000, 4,000 ante

Matt Shalhoob open-jammed under the gun for 60,000 and action quickly folded around to the Tyler Kolness in the big blind who said, "I've never called blind in a tournament before but this time I think I have too".

Tyler Kolness: {4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Matt Shalhoob: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}

Shalhoob was out in front and nothing changed after the {2-Clubs}{5-Spades}{a-Hearts} flop.

However, the turn came the {3-Hearts} giving Kolness the Wheel and the {10-Clubs} river ended Shalhoob's tournament.

Darlo Vansurksum raised all in for 148,000 from the hijack and Jason Crews looked him up from the big blind.

Jason Crews: {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}
Darlo Vansurksum: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Vansurksum was behind holding two overs and the {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop gave him more outs with the heart flush draw.

The {9-Spades} turn didn't change a thing and the river did fall a heart but it was the {5-Hearts} giving Crews a full house.

Calverley flopped a set but Burke held the straight flush draw and the sweat didn't last long as the {4-Diamonds} fell on the turn.
