Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante
Evan Panesis
Evan Panesis

Evan Panesis has been on a bit of a heater of late. He recently eliminated a player with {K-Hearts}{9-Clubs} when he moved all in on a {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop and was trailing his opponent's {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. The turn was the {7-Spades} and the river was the {K-Clubs} to give Panesis the pot and leading his eliminated opponent to mutter "oh, that hurt."

The very next hand in a blind-vs-blind confrontation with Patrick Panado, Panesis would flop trip sevens with {7-Clubs}{2-Hearts} on a {J-Clubs}{7-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop and extract value from the former chip leader who held {K-}{J-}. Those two pots moved Panesis up to 200,000 in chips and Panado slipped to 135,000.

There are 13 players remaining meaning two more and play will conclude for the day.
