Quads for Quinn

Drazen Ilich was under the gun and opened for 180,000, which Shawn Quinn three-bet to 400,000 from the small blind. Both players proceeded to check the {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{Q-Spades} flop, as well as the {6-Hearts} turn. When the {8-Clubs} appeared on the river, Quinn bet 300,00 and Ilich quickly folded.

Quinn let out a long sigh and shook his head as he turned over {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for flopped quads. Unfortunately for him, he didn't get paid off. "I was hoping you had a queen," he said to Ilich.

Jonathan Job Eliminated in 12th Place ($32,193)

Jonathan Job was left with just over two big blinds after his hand with Joe Hebda and was in the small blind. Aaron Steury opened with a raise, Hebda called and Job stuck the rest of chips in the pot.

Steury and Hebda checked all the way to the river and the board showed {K-Spades} {5-Spades} {10-Spades} {2-Clubs} {5-Diamonds}. Hebda turned over {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades} and Job mucked, collected his things and took his payout slip to the desk.

Level: 31

Blinds: 40,000/80,000

Ante: 10,000

Job-Less

After being switched to the other table after the last elimination, Joe Hebda opened for 130,000 and was met with a three-bet to 480,000 by Jonathan Job. Hebda responded by moving all in for 1.63 million and Job made the call.

Showdown
Hebda: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Job: {K-Clubs}{A-Clubs}

Hebda was at risk but racing for his tournament life. Things looked bleak for Hebda when the {J-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop delivered Job a pair of aces, but he soon found salvation when the {Q-Diamonds} spiked on the river. The river was a blank and Hebda survived to double to 3.4 million; meanwhile, Job was left with just 150,000.

Michael Hallen Eliminated in 13th Place ($26,318)

Bob Chow raised to 125,000 preflop only to have Michael Hallen move all in for around 1.2 million. Chow made the call and it was bad news for Hallen:

Showdown
Hallen: {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}
Chow: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

The {10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop gave Hallen a gut-shot straight draw to a queen, making a jack obsolete as one would give Chow a straight. The {4-Spades} turn changed nothing, while the {J-Spades} river made some at the table think Hallen sucked out; however, as we said before, it happened to give Chow a straight and the win. Hallen was eliminated in 13th place and will take home $26,318 for his efforts.

Set Over Set is a Game-Changer

Eric Crain opened for 135,000 and Aaron Steury raised to 325,000. Crain called and the flop came {8-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {K-Spades}. Crain checked, Steury bet 400,000, Crain re-raised to 950,000 and Steury moved all in. Crain snap-called and tabled {8-Hearts} {8-Clubs} for a set. Steury tabled {K-Hearts} {K-Spades} for a set of kings and Crain was so beside himself he threw his hat in the air.

The board finished {9-Spades} {5-Clubs} and Steury leaped to the top of the leaderboard and Crain is left as one of the shortest stacks left.

Steury Hits the River

Action folded to Aaron Steury in the small blind and he raised to 160,000, which Bob Chow called from the big blind. The {8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop saw Steury continuation-bet 150,000, and again Chow called. The dealer proceeded to burn and turn the {A-Spades}, Steury fired out 280,000, and Chow called.

When the {Q-Spades} hit the river, Steury ended up checking, Chow bet 365,000, and Steury called. Chow revealed {9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} for a pair of sevens, but it was no good against the {Q-}{J-Diamonds} of Steury.

Crain Has Pham's Number

Level 30 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Edward Pham may be the tightest player remaining in the field and that isn't lost on Eric Crain. After the {7-} {2-} needle a few minutes ago, Crain continues to apply pressure to Pham.

Pham opened for 125,000 and Crain raised to 350,000. Pham pulled his bet back and stuck out a cool million. Crain pulled his earphones out and moved all in. Pham took only a few seconds before tossing his cards in the muck.

"I Just Got Nit Rolled"

With 350,000 in the pot and a board reading {K-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{K-Clubs}, Shawn Quinn checked from the big blind and Joe Hebda bet 155,000 from early position. Quinn made the call and then both players checked the {A-Hearts} turn. The {7-Spades} brought a third check from Quinn, prompting Hebda to bet a modest 140,000.

Quinn made the call and looked as if he was going to muck when Hebda turned over {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, but then he seemed to realize something and turned over the superior {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}.

"I just got nit rolled," Hebda said in frustration.
