John Farmakoulas Eliminated in 13th Place ($15,135)

John Farmakoulas - 13th place
John Farmakoulas - 13th place

John Farmakoulas raised from under the gun to 200,000. Yes, we said 200,000. Action folded around to Will "Monkey" Souther in the big blind and he moved all in. Farmakoulas actually turned up his hand to reveal the {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} and Souther was about to muck thinking he folded until Farmakoulas said, "Let me think about it." The floor was then called and right as they got there, Farmakoulas announced a call. The ruling would have been that he would have had to call anyway according to the tournament staff. Either way, the cards were on their backs.

Souther: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Farmakoulas: {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

The board ran out {K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and Souther won the pot. The two were very, very close in chips and it required a count of both players' stacks to see who had more. Souther had the most chips by a little bit and Farmakoulas became the 13th-place finisher.

Magnus Finds a Double Through Ammerman

Kevin Ammerman raised from under the gun for all of his chips. He was all in for 408,000. Nadezhda Magnus called all in for 343,000 and then Edwin Choi went into the tank. He tanked for several long minutes before finally folding his hand. Everyone else folded as well and it was Ammerman's {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} up against the {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} for Magnus.

The board ran out {J-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and Magnus doubled up. Ammerman was knocked down to 65,000 in chips.

Magnus Gives Them Back

Matthew Shepsky opened to 81,000 from early position, and Nadezhda Magnus reraised to 215,000 on the button. In the small blind, Daniel Cohen quickly announced an all in for 445,000 total, and that was enough to fold Shepsky. Cohen tanked for a little while, but there really was no decision to be made. She called with the covering stack, and Cohen was at risk and flipping for his tournament life.

Showdown
Magnus: {10-Hearts} {10-Spades}
Cohen: {A-Hearts} {K-Spades}

"Keep it low," said one of Magnus' friends from the rail, but the dealer would not oblige. The ace of spades appeared right in the window, and the board of {A-Spades} {6-Spades} {3-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} means Cohen can stick around for a little longer. He's doubled up over 1,000,000 chips now, leaving Magnus with just about 250,000.

About Ammerman

Kevin Ammerman was down to just 65,000 chips after losing that big pot, and he was immediately moved to the other table for balancing. His first hand there, he pulled in a quadruple up to get over 200,000, and he's just doubled up again to push his stack well over 300,000. He's still in this thing, but it's going to be a battle with the short stack.

Jivkov and Reynolds Back At It

From the cutoff seat, Nick Jivkov raised to 72,000. William Reynolds was in the big blind and reraised to 186,000. Jivkov made the call and the flop came down {Q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}.

Reynolds was up first and fired out 142,000. Jivkov studied for a moment and then raised all in for 905,000. Reynolds tanked for several minutes before folding and Jivkov won the pot.

Nadezhda Magnus Eliminated in 12th Place ($18,598)

Nadezhda Magnus - 12th place
Nadezhda Magnus - 12th place

Jared Kenworthy raised to 75,000 to open the pot, and Nadezhda Magnus three-bet all in for her last 185,000. Kenworthy called, and Magnus was 60-40ing for her tournament life.

Showdown
Kenworthy: {K-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}
Magnus: {A-Spades} {9-Diamonds}

Things were all rosy through fourth street for Magnus, but the river would be her downfall. The board ran {10-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}, and we've lost our last remaining lady. Magnus is out in 12th place, taking home more than $18,000 for her performance this week.
