Hand #35

Hand #35 - William McMahon limps for 40,000 from the small blind, Michael Binger reraises from the big blind, and McMahon folds. The holecams reveal:

McMahon: {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Binger: {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

McMahon has been playing very tight all day, and, as the shortstack, he doesn't have a lot of chips to spare.

Hand #29

Hand #29 - William McMahon moves his short stack all in under the gun with {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, and everyone else folds. McMahon takes the blinds and antes.

Hand #23 - Karga Holt Eliminated in 5th Place ($140,091)

Hand #23 - There is a dead button, Holt moves all in with {Q-Spades}{3-Clubs}, and Michael Binger calls with {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}. Holt started the day as the chipleader, but he'll need to improve to stay alive.

The board comes {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}, and Binger's pocket jacks hold up to win the pot.

Karga Holt is eliminated in fifth place, earning $140,091. The next player eliminated will receive $194,319 for fourth place.

Hand #21 - Nick 'TheTakeover' Schulman Eliminated in 6th Place ($108,457)

Hand #21 - James Mackey raises from the small blind, Nick Schulman moves all in from the big blind, and Mackey calls with {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}. Schulman shows {A-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, and he'll need to improve to avoid busting out here.

The board comes {Q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{3-Spades}, and Mackey wins the pot with his ten kicker.

Nick 'TheTakeover' Schulman is eliminated in sixth place, earning $108,457. The next player eliminated will receive $140,091 for fifth place.

Hand #20 - Jan Sorensen Eliminated in 7th Place ($81,343)

Hand #20 - Jan Sorensen (cutoff) is all in with {A-Clubs}{A-Spades} against Michael Binger (late position) with {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. Sorensen is in excellent position to double up here.

But the flop comes {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades}, and Binger flops a set to take a huge lead. The holecams reveal that another player folded an ace preflop, and Sorensen is drawing to just one out.

The last two cards are {Q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}, and Binger wins the pot with three tens.

Jan Sorensen is eliminated in seventh place, earning $81,343. The next player eliminated will receive $108,457 for sixth place.

Hand #19

Hand #19 - William McMahon moves all in from late position, and Holt thinks for over a minute before he calls from the big blind with {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. McMahon shows {A-Clubs}{9-Hearts}, and he's a big favorite to double up here.

The board comes {4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{9-Spades}{Q-Spades}, and McMahon wins the pot with a pair of nines to double up in chips.
