Paul Foltyn Eliminated in 15th Place ($31,781)

Paul Foltyn - 15th Place
Paul Foltyn - 15th Place
Paul Foltyn had a short chip stack and moved all in from middle position for 137,000. Action folded to Alex Jacob in the big blind and he made the call.

Jacob held {A-Spades} {9-Spades} and had Foltynn on the line with the {J-Clubs} {4-Hearts}.

The flop came {Q-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {4-Hearts}, pairing both players, but still keeping Foltyn behind. The turn came the {8-Diamonds} and then the river finished it with the {6-Hearts}. Foltyn was eliminated in 15th place.

Jacob collected the chips and now sits at 850,000.

Omniscient Ochana

Steve Ware raised to 27,000 from the cutoff, Davidi Kitai called from the small blind, and Edward Ochana also called from the big blind.

The flop came {5-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. Kitai checked, Ochana bet 105,000, and Ware called. Kitai folded.

The turn was the {3-Clubs}, and both checked.

The river brought the {3-Spades}. Ochana checked, and Ware bet 140,000. Ochana thought a moment, then made the call.

Ochana showed {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} -- just ace-high. But Ware had {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}, and Ochana took the pot.

There was a bit of a reaction when it was revealed Ochana had made the right call. "Be sure to write that one up, live reporter guy!" he said. And it was done.

Ochana is way up to 1,820,000 now. Ware is down to 260,000.

Gray Gives Back

Tom Lutz raised to 30,000 from under the gun, Richard Lyndaker called on the button, then Jason Gray reraised to 110,000 from the small blind.

Lutz then pushed all in for 281,000, Lyndaker folded, and Gray made the call.

Gray: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Lutz: {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

The board came {A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}, and Lutz doubled back up to 560,000. Gray is back down to 250,000.

Picking Up the Pace

As we've played through the night, some of our most aggressive players have been eliminated. Recently, Alex Jacob has decided to pick up the pace a little bit and switch gears. Jacob didn't play many hands up all day until this last break, and he just seemed to pick his spots every now and then. Now, Jacob is raising a healthy amount of the hands he is dealt and chipping up nicely.

Edward Ochana has been doing the same on his table, except he seems to be picking off his opponents' raises with reraises. Tom Lutz has been doing the same, but things just don't seem to be going his way. Jacob and Ochana have increased their stacks by switching gears, whereas Lutz seems to be dropping pots and getting unlucky whenever he puts his money in.

Lutz Loses a Few More Chips

Tom Lutz
Tom Lutz
Tom Lutz has hit a rough patch here. Jason Gray just doubled through against Lutz with A-Q vs. Lutz's J-J when Gray turned a queen. Gray has 540,000, and Lutz has tumbled to 260,000.

He Was Awake All Along

Richard Lyndaker raised to 32,000 from under the gun. The table folded around to Tom Lutz who called from the small blind.

The flop came {2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. Lyndaker made a motion as if to check, even though it wasn't his turn. Lutz bet 40,000, and Lyndaker called.

The turn was the {Q-Hearts}. Lyndaker again appeared to check. "You don't have to check," he was told. "Oh!" he replied, and the table chuckled. It has been a long day (and night).

This time Lutz bet 85,000, and again Lyndaker called.

The river was the {2-Spades}. Lutz bet 140,000, and Lyndaker raised all in. Lutz folded.

Lyndaker now has 900,000, and Lutz 530,000.

The river was the {8-Diamonds} and Lyndaker checked again. Grospellier moved all in for 100,000 and Lyndaker exhaled and then called.
