Blair Busts Two

Level 22 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Soon after play resumed, Milton Thomas took out two players in quick succession over on Table 1.

The first one saw Thomas taking {A-Spades}{8-Hearts} up against the short-stacked Bill Rothstein's {A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} in a preflop all-in situation. The board came {6-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{8-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, and Rothstein was eliminated in 36th.

While Andrew Higgins was being knocked out on another table in 35th, Thomas was soon after busy knocking out Milton Thomas in 34th. In that case it was Thomas taking {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} up against Thomas's {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}, and the board rolled out {9-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}.

Fabio "The Animal" D'Agata Tamed

Level 22 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

From what we could piece together, Fabio D'Agata raised to 29,000 from the cutoff only to have Bobby Corcione shove all in from the big blind for around 275,000. D'Agata had about 260,000 total and called off.

D'Agata: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Corcione: {A-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}

Table talk revealed that D'Agata had raised Corcione's blind before, and the former indicated that he knew his opponent would get caught with his "hand in the cookie jar."

D'Agata was excited, but was soon silenced when the flop came down {A-Hearts}{2-Spades}{J-Spades} to give Corcione the lead with two pair. Neither the {5-Hearts} turn nor {4-Hearts} river helped D'Agata, and he was eliminated in 32nd place for $4,438.

The duo continued to have a heated verbal exchange, but eventually the tournament staff quelled it. D'Agata eventually shook Corcione's hand, wished the table luck, and then exited the tournament.

Andries Eliminates Ortiz

Level 22 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Kammar Andries moved all in under the gun for roughly 130,000 and a short-stacked Alex Ortiz called off for 43,000. The rest of the field folded and Ortiz discovered the bad news.

Ortiz: {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}
Andries: {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}

Ortiz was behind and his best bet of sticking around was to be slapped in the face by an ace, but there was none to be had as the board ran out {10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}. Ortiz finished in 31st place and will take home $4,438.

Bitker Doubles Through Silberzweig

Level 22 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

With about 50,000 in the middle and following a {10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop, Matthew Silberzweig checked from the blinds, then Adam Bitker committed all in from the button for 127,000 total. Silberzweig called the raise, showing {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for a straight draw while Bitker held {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for top pair.

The turn was the {A-Clubs} and the river the {8-Hearts}, and Bitker doubled through.

Andries Bids Adieu to his Foulkes

Level 22 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

After Ethan Foulkes opened for 20,000 from early position, Kammar Andries moved all in from the small blind for 172,000. "I'll probably call," Foulkes said after asking for an exact count. Sure enough, Foulkes did just that,

Andries: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Foulkes: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

Andries was behind with two overs, and the {9-Spades}{10-Hearts}{Q-Spades} flop made things interested as it gave him an open-ended straight draw. The {2-Spades} turn didn't complete it, and neither did the {7-Spades}. Andries stared at the board for a few moments and then followed the floor to the payout desk to collect $5,178 for his 30th-place finish.

Campo Cuts Down Yale

Level 22 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Pete Campo keeps adding chips to his leading stack, with John Yale the latest to contribute.

Down to about 180,000, Yale watched Campo open for 23,000 from middle position, then shoved all in from the cutoff seat. It folded back to Campo who called, showing {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} to Yale's {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}.

The flop came {J-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, then the {10-Clubs} turn card put Yale in the lead. But the river brought the {A-Clubs}, and Yale was eliminated in 29th.
