Anthony Zinno Eliminated in 10th Place ($20,400)

Level 15 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Anthony Zinno
Anthony Zinno

Andy Park raised to 50,000 from under the gun and Stephen Chidwick pushed all in for around 360,000 in the small blind. Park made the call and the two players were flipping for stacks.

Stephen Chidwick: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Andy Park: {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

The board ran out {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Chidwick's pair of eights held on to provide the first dent in Park's stack.

Meanwhile, at the other table, Anthony Zinno was seen leaving his seat as he became the 10th place finisher.

Chidwick Pushes Schindler Off

Level 14 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Stephen Chidwick opened to 21,000 from the cutoff and was called by Andy Park in the small blind and Jake Schindler in the big blind. The flop came {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and Park checked to Schindler who led out for 25,000. Chidwick raised to 68,000 and Park avoided the confrontation. Schindler called to see the {k-Clubs} land on the turn.

Schindler quickly checked and Chidwick moved all in, which forced an instant fold from Schindler.

Ryan Riess Runs Bad to Finish on the Bubble

Level 14 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Ryan Riess
Ryan Riess

Ryan Riess recently lost a big pot while holding {10-}{10-} vs Justin Young's {A-}{10-}. Young hit not only one, but two aces to leave Riess on the short stack. In the first hand of hand-for-hand play, Riess pushed all in for 155,000 and was called by Young.

Justin Young: {a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Ryan Riess: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}

Riess was well in front but, again, the flop came {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} giving Young the lead with a pair of aces. The {k-Hearts} on the turn and the {6-Clubs} on the river changed nothing and Riess was eliminated on the money bubble.

Level 14 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The Man Can't be Stopped

Level 14 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Dan Shak
Dan Shak

Andy Park opened to 50,000 on the button and Dan Shak shoved all in for 231,000 from the big blind. Park asked for a count and then made the call. Park had the slight preflop edge with {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs} against Shak's {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}.

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and Park was still in the lead with a pair of sixes now. The {k-Hearts} on the turn gave Shak a flush draw to go with his two live cards, but the {5-Clubs} on the river was of no help.

With the elimination of Shak, the final 12 players will now assemble on two tables and are just two eliminations away from the money.

Peters Knocks Out Kenney

Level 14 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

David Peters raised to 23,000 on the button and Bryn Kenney shoved all in for a little over 200,000. Peters made the call and was well in front with {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. Kenney held one overcard with {a-Spades}{2-Spades} and would need to catch an ace to stay alive.

The board ran out {q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and Peters held on with his pair of sevens to eliminate Kenney as the money bubble looms.

Park Flies Over One Million

Level 13 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Andy Park just recently busted Brent Hanks with ace-queen after hitting a queen on the flop and another queen on the turn. He continues to push around his big stack as David Peters opened to 18,000 from the cutoff and Park just ripped all in for well over a million chips. Everyone folded and he continued to add to his stack, which is by far and away, the largest in the room.

Schindler Making Moves

Level 13 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jake Schindler
Jake Schindler

Benjamin Pollak raised to 17,000 on the button and Jake Schindler pushed all in for 218,000 in the small blind. Boutros Naim folded his big blind and Pollak counted out his 147,000 chips before making the call for his tournament life.

Jake Schindler; {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Benjamin Pollak: {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Pollak was slightly ahead with his ace-high but Schindler held two live cards. One of those hit on the {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop, pairing his nine to take the lead. The turn was the {6-Spades} and the river landed the {7-Diamonds}, securing the win for Schindler and Pollak headed for the exit.
