Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
John Ott
John Ott

The board read {2-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. Isaac Kempton bet 400,000 over to John Ott who thought for a while before moving all in.

Kempton snap called and turned over the {a-Spades}{k-Spades} while Ott had the {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}.

The river was a harmless {7-Diamonds} and Ott was the first victim of the final table.

Brian Ray

David Jackson opened to 215,000 from under the gun and Brian Ray moved his stack of about 1,400,000 into the middle from the small blind. Jackson snap-called and the two players turned over their hands with Ray at risk.

Brian Ray: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
David Jackson: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The dealer fanned out {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}{7-Spades} and Jackson took a commanding lead with his three jacks. A {4-Spades} on the turn left Ray with one more shot to survive but the {8-Spades} river was not it and Jackson scooped the pot, eliminating Ray from the tournament.

Michael Cohen Eliminated in 16th Place ($16,179)

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Michael Cohen
Michael Cohen

Paul Balzano opened to 150,000 from middle position and Robert Manjura called. Michael Cohen three-bet shoved a little bit over 1,700,000 from the button and Balzano instantly jammed over the top. Manjura hit the tank but in the end, he folded {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} face-up and the two that remained tabled their hands.

Michael Cohen: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Paul Balzano: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The flop came down {k-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Cohen was in need of a dime to stay alive. The {4-Diamonds} landed on the turn and {5-Spades} on the river, failing to help Cohen as he was eliminated by the jacks of Balzano.

Robert Manjura opened to 150,000 from under the gun and Thomas Boyden moved all in for around 700,000. Manjura snap-called and the two turned over their cards.

Thomas Boyden: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Robert Manjura: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

It was a classic flip between the two and the dealer then fanned out {10-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Spades} on the flop, leaving Manjura in the lead as Boyden needed to pair up or was going to be eliminated.

The {3-Hearts} turn and {6-Diamonds} failed to improve the hand of Boyden, sending out the door in sixteenth place for $16,179.

Jason Klapman
Jason Klapman

Jason Klapman was all in preflop for about 625,000, Paul Balzano had the chips committed to challenge his all in. Fares Santana was in the big blind and thought for a bit but eventually he gave it up.

Jason Klapman {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Paul Balzano {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Klapman was in good position to secure a double up but the flop had other ideas as it came {6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. The turn was the {a-Diamonds} and the river came the {3-Hearts} to send Klapman home in 18th place.

The board would not save Serda as it came {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} and he became the final elimination before the two table redraw.
