Ron Faltinsky Doubles Up

A player moves all in, and Ron Faltinsky calls for 55,700 with {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}. His opponent shows {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}, and Faltinsky is in position to double up.

The board comes {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, and Faltinsky's jacks hold up to win the pot, and he doubles up to about 120,000.

John Spadavecchia Eliminated in 107th Place ($4,822)

Raymond Davis raises to 9,000, and John Spadavecchia calls. The flop comes {A-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{3-Spades}, Davis checks, Spadavecchia moves all in, and Davis calls with {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} for a pair of aces. Spadavecchia shows {8-Spades}{7-Clubs} for a pair of sevens, and he'll need to improve to stay alive.

The last two cards are {6-Hearts}{2-Spades}, and Davis wins the pot with his pair of aces. John Spadavecchia is eliminated in 107th place, earning $4,822.

Late (& Pissed) Arrival: David Redlin Eliminated in 100th Place ($4,822)

David Redlin heard that the restart had been delayed until 4:00 pm PDT. So he showed up at that time -- 45 minutes after play began. He started the day with 84,100, but his chip stack took some serious dents from the blinds in his absence.

He only played a few hands before this one came up.

Redlin got all his chips in the middle on a 10-high flop with K-K against another player's K-10 -- it doesn't get much better than that. But a 10 on the turn reversed the situation, and the river card was a blank.

David Redlin is eliminated in 100th place, earning $4,822.
