Krouner's Stack Decimated

Ken Krouner's stack has been decimated to just several thousand after running eights into Young Phan's tens. The 7-K-J-3-K made no difference, meaning Phan is now on 45,000.

Also OUT shortly before the break was second-to-last woman standing Katelyn Tupper. From the horse's mouth, she pushed with pocket kings and got called by pocket nines, but the gent with the nines found four flush cards on the board to send her to the rail.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

A gentleman raised to 7,000 utg and Kevin Hanson, down to just 300 after losing a massive hand, called all in from the button. Dane Lomas in the small blind raised all in for a total of 9,400 and Tyler Sprague in the big blind dwelled up for a while before calling. Mr Under The Gun called as well.

Mr Under The Gun and Sprague checked down the {9-Diamonds}

board until the river, when Mr Under The Gun bet 6,000 and Sprague called.

Sprague: {A-Clubs}

Mr Under The Gun: {6-Clubs}

Kevin Hanson: {6-Clubs}

Dane Lomas: mucked

Hanson and Lomas are both eliminated, and Sprague is up to around 55,000.

Two Pair for Ehrlich

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Matthew Ehrlich is another player to join the elite 100,000 club. On a {A-Hearts}

board, he bet 8,000 before checking down the {6-Diamonds}

river.

Ehrlich showed {A-Clubs}

for the win, whilst his opponent revealed the {A-Spades}

and mucked his other, clearly inferior card.

"I thought you had ace king," confessed a relieved Ehrlich.
