Everyone Thinks They're "F***ed"

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Fadi Massaad was all in preflop with {A-}{J-} for 519,000 against the pocket eights for Numit Agrawal.

The flop came down {9-}{7-}{5-} and kept Agrawal in front. After a {3-} hit the turn, Massaad got up out of his chair as if he was about to head off to the payout desk. But in a change of fortune, a {J-} hit on the river to give Massaad the double. He clapped his hands together, sat back down in his chair, and collected his chips.

"As soon as he got up after the turn, I knew I was f***ed," Agrawal said to the table after the hand.

"I thought I was f***ed," Massaad said after.

Christensen Doubles Up

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Erik Christensen raised all in preflop, and Fadi Massaad called. Massaad had the {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}, and Christensen was in the lead with the {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}. The board provided a little bit of a sweat when it ran out {4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{6-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, giving Massaad a brief chance to hit a gutshot straight and knock out Christensen, but instead Christensen doubled up.

Pradith and Andrejevic Battle

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Olivier Busquet raised preflop, and three players called. The flop was {7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{6-Hearts}, and Busquet checked. Patana Pradith bet 108,000, and Andy Andrejevic called. Busquet and the other player folded.

The turn was the {j-Spades} and Pradith checked to Andrejevic. Andrejevic bet 300,000 and sent Pradith into the tank. Pradith looked to be very close to folding at one point, then counted his chips before he finally shoved all in. Andrejevic didn't waste much time and folded, giving Pradith the pot.

Mark Eddleman Eliminated in 19th Place ($15,000)

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Mark Eddleman - 19th Place
Mark Eddleman - 19th Place

From middle position, Mark Eddleman raised to 50,000. Play then folded to Jose Montes on the button, and he reraised to 125,000. Action slid over to Olivier Busquet in the big blind, and he made it 300,000 to go with a cold four-bet. Eddleman reraised all in for around 750,000-800,000, and Montes folded. Busquet quickly called and turned up the {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}. Eddleman had the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}.

The {9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop kept Busquet's kings in front. There wasn't much in the first three community cards for Eddleman to get happy about, and the {6-Clubs} didn't do him too much good, either. He now needed an ace on the river.

The dealer burned one final time before turning over the {K-Hearts} on fifth street. Busquet made a set of cowboys, and Eddleman was left with a 19th-place finish worth $15,000.

With 18 players now remaining, they will redraw to two tables.
