Just a few hands after dropping that pot to Petter Fransson, Marco Bernier was eliminated. Andrey Zaichenko raised to 25,000 on the button and Bernier moved in from the big blind for 69,000. Zaichenko called with {J-Clubs}

to Bernier's {K-Clubs}

, but Zaichenko hit the {7-Diamonds}

flop and after the {A-Clubs}

turned he made two pair when the {J-Hearts}

fell on the river. Bernier's night came to an end, and Zaichenko is now up to 520,000.

Dan Harmetz Doubles Through Cody Slaubaugh

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

The action was folded around to Cody Slaubaugh in the small blind and seeing that Dan Harmetz had around 100,000 left Slaubaugh raised that amount. Harmetz looked down to find the {A-Hearts}

waiting for him and he made the call. Slaubaugh held {7-Hearts}

and the

flop gave Harmetz the lead and though Cody had some hope after the {6-Clubs}

turned the river brought the {3-Clubs}

and Dan doubled to 210,000.

That hand left Slaubaugh with 300,000, but he quickly added 50,000 to his stack in a hand with Elliot Smith to win back some of the chips he lost to Harmetz.

Level: 18

Blinds: 6,000/12,000

Ante: 1,000

Heimiller raised to 40,000 and Garvin moved in for his last 180,000. He soon found that his pocket nines were crushed by Heimiller's pocket aces and though he picked up a gutshot draw on the turn, the river was a blank and Garvin was eliminated. Heimiller is now up to 955,000.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Andrey Zaichenko raised to 23,000 and Anders Fraulund called in the big blind. Both players checked the {5-Spades}

flop, but when the {8-Diamonds}

turned Fraulund bet 35,000, Zaichenko raised enough to set Fraulund all in, and Anders made the call. And learned that Andrey flopped the flush with {A-Spades}
