Ed Stannish Eliminated in 15th Place ($6,744)

Tuan Phan opened the action with 30,000 from the button and Ed Stannish shoved from the big blind for 231,000. Phan stood up and wondered aloud, "The question is do I want to gamble?"

Phan asked for an exact count and then asked Stannish, "How much do you like your hand?"

"I'm pretty comfortable with it," Stannish replied.

Phan continued to think, stood up from his chair and then called after a few more moments.

Phan: {K-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}
Stannish: {10-Clubs} {6-Clubs}

The board ran {Q-Clubs} {8-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} and Phan jumped up to the top of the counts with Stannish's elimination.

Bonn Pushes Back

Level 22 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

Christopher Bonn raised to 25,000 from the button only to find Eugene Fouksman three-bet to 65,000 from the small blind. Bonn called and the flop fell {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}. Fouksman announced a bet of 80,000 but before he could even get the chips in the middle Bonn announced that he was all in. Fouksman heaved a sigh and folded his cards, awarding Bonn the pot.

Eric Panayiotou Eliminated in 14th Place ($6,744)

Bonn: {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades}
Panayiotou: {J-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}

The board ran {J-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {A-Spades} and Panayiotou was sent to the payout desk.

Robinson Triples

Level 22 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

Cory Mascagi raised to 30,000 and Georgia Robinson moved all in for her last 39,000. Mike Linster made the call and Mascagi tossed in the extra 9,000 to call as well.

Mascagi and Linster checked down the board of {5-Spades}{2-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{5-Clubs} only to find Robinson flip up a winning {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}. Everyone laughed as the chips were pushed her way. From the rail, Robinson's friend chimed in, "You've got a horseshoe up your ass this mornin'!"

Kaemmerlen Doubles Through Phan

Tuan Phan opened for a raise on the button and Pete Kaemmerlen re-raised to 69,000 from the big blind. The flop came {8-Hearts} {10-Spades} {4-Hearts} and Kaemmerlen bet 87,000. Phan raised to 200,000 straight and Kaemmerlen moved all in for an additional 162,000.

Phan did his ritualistic stand up from his chair to think, but this time he admitted outloud, "I played this hand so bad." Then he called and the hands were tabled.

Kaemmerlen: {A-Clubs} {10-Hearts}
Phan: {A-Spades} {2-Spades}

The board completed {3-Clubs} {2-Clubs} and Phan plummeted down to under 200,000.

Phan is Capable of Folding a Hand

Level 22 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante
Eugene Fouksman convinced Phan to fold.
Eugene Fouksman convinced Phan to fold.

Eugene Fouksman and Tuan Phan went to a flop together of {5-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {9-Spades}. Fouksman bet 45,000, Phan raised to 100,000 and Fouksman played right back and three-bet to 250,000.

In the craziest turn of events, Phan thought for a while and then folded his hand. Something we hadn't seen almost all day.
