Tyler Carslaw Eliminated by Prosper [Removed:250]

Level 29 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Action folded around to Tyler Carslaw in late position and he moved all in for 1,650,000. Prosper [Removed:250] was in the cutoff and called.

Tyler Carslaw: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}
Prosper [Removed:250]: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Carslaw was disappointed to see he only had a couple of outs to survive and yelled "C'mon baby! One time!"

The dealer put out a flop reading {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Carslaw cheered. The turn was the {a-Hearts} and Carslaw yelled "Hold!" Unfortunately for him, the river was the {q-Clubs} and [Removed:250] let out a scream. The dealer pushed him the pot and Carslaw wished the table luck as he exited the tournament area.

"Well, the best hand won!" exclaimed [Removed:250] as he stacked his chips.

Guerrera Doubles; Psallidas Back Down to 1 Big Blind

Level 29 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

We got to the table as the dealer was counting out Alex Guerrera's chips. The board read {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and Guerrera had two queens in front of him. Constantinos Psallidas was the other player in the hand and he appeared to have lost the hand with {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}.

Guerrera doubled up to 5 million while Psallidas dropped back down to just one big blind. A couple of levels ago he was down to one big blind and made his way back up. We'll keep an eye on him to find out if he can do it again!

Russ Lidstone Eliminated by Ryan Morrell

Level 28 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Action folded around to Christian Conrad in the cutoff and he raised it up to 320,000. Ryan Morrell was on the button and called, and action moved to Russ Lidstone in the small blind. After a few seconds of thought he moved all-in for 2,100,000. Conrad folded and Morrell quickly called.

Lidstone was the player at risk and was behind with {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, up against Morrell's {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {6-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Lidstone was sent to the rail after losing two big pots to Morrell in a span of just a few minutes.

Battle of Alberta: Ryan Morrell Fires All Streets

Level 28 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Ryan Morrell
Ryan Morrell

Action folded around to Ryan Morrell in the small blind and he decided to limp in. Russ Lidstone was in the big blind and checked his option.

The flop came {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and Morrell led out for 220,000. Lidstone called. The turn was the {2-Spades} and Morrell led out for 305,000 this time. Lidstone called again.

The river was the {k-Hearts} and Morrell paused for a moment before firing a third bullet worth 1,100,000. Lidstone thought about it for a few seconds and eventually called.

Morrell tabled {9-Spades}{3-Spades} for a flush and Lidstone mucked his hand.

While this tournament features a ton of players from the East Coast, both Morrell and Lidstone are here from the West Coast, specifically Alberta, and are seated next to each other while they run deep in this event.
