Jon Godwin Eliminated in 13th Place ($12,613)

Level 26 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Jon Godwin - 13th Place
Jon Godwin - 13th Place

Jon Godwin open-shoved his last 230,000 or so on the button, and David Grandieri instantly called in the big blind.

Godwin: {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Grandieri: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

The {5-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} took away two of Godwin's outs, and the {7-Clubs} on the turn gave Grandieri a flush. Godwin could still survive with a five or a seven on the river, but the {j-Hearts} completed the board.

Godwin is off to the cage to collect his winnings, while Grandieri now has 2.3 million chips.

Lombard: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

The nines held as the board ran out {4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{7-Spades}{j-Diamonds}, and Lombard was eliminated.

Grandieri Doubles Huge; Regains Chip Lead

Level 26 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Mark Rose opened to 50,000 from the hijack and David Grandieri flat called from the cutoff. It folded to Luke Graham who made it 150,000 to go from the small blind and both players called.

The trio saw a flop of {3-Spades}{2-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and Graham tanked for over a minute before checking. Rose moved 307,000 into the middle and Grandieri responded by moving all in for about 848,000 total. Graham once again tanked before releasing and it was back on Rose.

Rose thought for almost two minutes before finally dropping in a call only to find that he was behind.

Rose: {k-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Grandieri: {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}

"Runner-runner, please," pleaded Rose.

It looked as if his wish may come true when the {K-Clubs} rolled off on the turn. The river, however, was the {8-Clubs} and Rose was forced to ship a massive pile of chips to Grandieri. Grandieri is now sitting on about 2.1 million while Rose has fallen to 585,000.

Hyden Jams Turn, Graham Gets Up

Level 26 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

David Grandieri raised to 43,000 from middle position, and received three callers, including Luke Graham (cutoff seat), Ryan Carter (button), and Chris Hyden (small blind).

The dealer fanned {j-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{9-Spades}, and Hyden tanked before leading out for 93,000. Both Grandieri and Graham called.

The turn was the {2-Clubs}, and Hyden sat quietly for over a minute.

"All in," Hyden announced, committing the rest of his 606,000-chip stack.

Grandieri went deep into the tank, and while he was thinking, Graham asked the dealer if he could leave the table for a second. The dealer said no, because he's still in the hand. It appeared as if Graham spilled something on his shirt, and needed a napkin to wipe it off. A server went to retrieve one for him, and when she returned, Graham got up from the table and met her half way.

Grandieri was upset with this, and the dealer said that he would call the floor after the hand. Graham got back into his seat, Grandieri folded, and Graham instantly folded.

Tournament Director Bill Bruce had been observing the later part of the hand, and explained to Graham why leaving the table with action still pending is bad etiquette.

"If you do it again, you're going to get a two-round penalty," Bruce warned him.

Graham sincerely apologized to the table.

Peter Drager
Peter Drager

Action folded to Peter Drager's button and he moved all in for his last 281,000. Tom Gleason tanked from the big blind for well over a minute before finally announcing a call.

Drager: {A-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Gleason: {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

Gleason jumped out into the lead when he paired up on the {Q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. Drager was now hunting for an ace but did not find it as the {3-Diamonds} turned and the {9-Diamonds} rivered. Drager will take over $12,613 for his efforts while Gleason has increased his stack to about 1.2 million.

Grandieri Takes from Rose

Level 26 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Mark Rose limped in from the small blind, David Grandieri checked his option in the big blind, and the dealer spread {7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. Rose checked, Grandieri fired 22,000, and Rose check-raised to 61,000. Grandieri tank-called.

The turn was the {a-Spades}, and Rose led out for 133,000. Grandieri called.

The {k-Diamonds} completed the board, and both players knuckled.

"Jack," Rose announced.

Grandieri snapped over {4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} for a pair of threes, and Rose unhappily mucked his hand.

Another Monster Hand for Birnbaum

Level 26 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Nancy Birnbaum opened to 76,000 from under the gun, Timothy Harrell called in middle position, and the rest of the action folded.

The dealer fanned {6-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades}, and Birnbaum led out for 130,000. Harrell tanked, then assembled to stacks of chips, raising to 305,000. The second Harrell released his chips, Birnbaum announced, "All in."

Harrell went into the tank, then finally asked for a count after two minutes or so. The dealer cut out Birnbaum's stack, and the all-in bet was for 557,000. Once he knew the amount, Harrell immediately called.

Birnbaum: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Harrell: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Birnbaum's kings held as the turn and river came {8-Clubs}, {9-Spades} respectively, doubling her to around 1.275 million chips. Harrell is left with 280,000.

Tolbert Takes Charge

Level 26 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Picking up with the action on a board of {Q-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{A-Spades}{7-Clubs}, Clint Tolbert checked to Arshin Gamini who fired out a bet of 130,000. Tolbert dipped into his stack and came out with a call, prompting the dealer to finish off the board with the {4-Hearts}.

Tolbert rapped the table once more and Gamini slowly and deliberately counted out a bet of 250,000. Tolbert went into the tank for about a minute before finally slinging out a single chip, declaring a call. Gamini instantly threw his hand into the muck and Tolbert tabled {K-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for a pair of kings. He took down the pot and is now sitting on about 1.55 million. Gamini has been crippled and sports only about 205,000.

Bryan Campanello Eliminated in 16th Place ($10,392)

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Bryan Campanello - 16th Place
Bryan Campanello - 16th Place

Chris Hyden raised in the hijack seat, Bryan Campanello three-bet shoved for 270,000 on his direct left, and the action folded back to Hyden, who called.

Hyden: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Campanello: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The two were off to the races, but Hyden's tens "outran" Campanello's overcards as the board came {q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{2-Spades}. Campanello will collect a little over ten grand for his efforts, while Hyden now sits with 625,000 chips.
