A Double For Cheney

Level 20 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

While Erik Roussakis was eliminated on one table, Beverly Cheney was all in and at risk for her tournament life on another. She held {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} against an opponent's {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}.

The flop kept Cheney in the lead but gave her opponent tons of outs when it brought {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs} onto the felt. The turn and river bricked out, though, with the {2-Hearts} and the {7-Spades}, ensuring Cheney would double to about 100,000.

Pileggi Busts Roussakis

Level 20 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Erik Roussakis was all in before the flop for his last roughly 110,000. Larry Pileggi had him covered and the two took the five community cards together.

Pileggi: {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Roussakis: {k-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}

Pileggi secured his lead on the {9-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{A-Hearts} flop and continued to improve with the {A-Spades} on the turn and the {3-Hearts} on the river. Pileggi's full house was more than enough to secure the victory. He's now sporting 320,000 while Roussakis is making his way to the payout desk.

Weber Doubles Through Renzi

Level 20 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

We caught up with the action on a board of {7-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} to find Matthew Weber move all in. John Renzi called the all in but was flabbergasted when Weber rolled over {K-Spades}{k-Clubs} for kings full of nines. Renzi tried to muck his cards but floor staff made them be tabled because the situation was an all in and a call.

Renzi held {K-Hearts}{2-Hearts} but those quickly went right back into the muck when the {10-Diamonds} finished off the board. Weber scooped up the pot and is now sitting on about 305,000 while Renzi has fallen to 250,000.

Sent to the Hall

Level 20 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Just after the break we found Ryan Hall all in before the flop. Hall was racing for his tournament life with {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} against Andrew Rudnik's {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}.

The flop brought no help to Hall as it fell {8-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{10-Spades}. The {10-Hearts} on fourth street also did not help him and he was looking to pair up on the river to stay alive in this tournament. The deck did not oblige, however, as the {4-Clubs} completed the board and eliminated Hall from play. He made his way to the payout desk while Rudnik dragged in the pot.

Renzi Wins Race

Level 19 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

We caught up to find a player all in and at risk before the flop while holding {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}. He was racing with John Renzi's {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}.

The flop came down {4-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and Renzi's sevens maintained the lead. The {10-Hearts} hit fourth street and Renzi needed to dodge an ace or a queen heading to the river to reduce the field by one player. Fifth street was the {K-Clubs} and Renzi was able to score the knockout and scoop the pot. He's now sitting on 400,000 in chips.

Borukhov Gets White Washed

Level 19 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

The flop read {9-Spades}{3-Hearts}{J-Hearts} when we came upon the table and saw Antoine White put Eugene Borukhov all in. Borukhov called for his tournament life.

"I have a nine," said White as he tabled {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}.

White glanced across the table and saw Borukhov show {A-Spades}{J-Clubs} for top-top.

"Nice hand," remarked White.

The words had barely left his lips when the {9-Clubs} drilled the turn, giving him trip nines and suddenly vaulting him into the lead. The entire table let out a collective gasp. The {10-Spades} completed the board and just like that Borukhov's tournament life had come to an end. White scooped up the chips and is now sitting on about 320,000.
