Johnny Neckar Eliminated in 19th ($12,438)

After several aggressive hands from Andrew Robl during the limit round, he once again raised from the cutoff. Johnny Neckar reraised from the SB, and Robl called. The flop came {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}. Neckar bet, Robl raised, and Neckar was all in. Their hands . . .

Neckar {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}
Robl {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

The turn brought another seven for Robl, and Neckar is out in 19th. They are now redrawing to balance the last two tables.

Action Slows

The two-table bubble has proven to slow down play among the final 19 contestants. Everyone wants to make 2 tables because of the significant pay jump, and the remaining players are good enough to make it happen for themselves.

Olson Doubles Through Haxton

In a battle of the blinds, Greg Olson has doubled through Isaac Haxton. Preflop, the table folded to Olson who raised to 12,000 from the small blind, and Haxton called from the big blind.

The flop came {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. Olson bet 13,000, and Haxton called.

The turn was the {A-Clubs}. Olson bet 25,000, Haxton raised all in, and Olson called with his remaining 40,000.

Olson showed {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}. Haxton showed {J-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and was drawing dead.

Olson is now up to 220,000, and Haxton down to 210,000.

Olson showed Q-T, and de Best tabled A-Q. The flop came {A-Spades}{J-Spades}{K-Clubs}, giving Olson Broadway. The turn was another jack, the river a deuce, and de Best was out.
