You're All In? I'm All in!

Just had a three-way all-in with two winners and no eliminations.

Scott Freeman raised to 6,100 from early position, Nikolay Evdakov called from late position, then Michael Schwartz reraised all in from the big blind for 21,700. Freeman responded by reshoving for a total of 65,000. Evdakov called.

Schwartz {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
Freeman {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Evdakov {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

The board came {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{8-Spades}, giving Schwartz the main pot and Freeman the big side pot. Freeman is now up to 86,000, and Schwartz has 65,000.

Evdakov soon shipped his suddenly-depleted stack into the middle with {A-Hearts}{4-Spades} and was called by Jochen Dickinger who held pocket eights. An ace flopped, and Evdakov's hand held up, so he's back to 32,000.

Keating Knocked Out

Alex Keating raised to 5,550, got reraised to 13,5000, repopped all in, and got called.

Keating was racing with A-Q versus his opponents' pocket tens. The board ran out nine-high, and Keating is out. (That's Alex; Alan Keating is still alive.)

Roland de Wolfe raised to 5,000 from late position, a player in the big blind reraised all in to 26,400, and de Wolfe made the call with {A-Clubs}{6-Hearts}. His opponent showed pocket eights.

An ace flop, and no eight came to save de Wolfe's foe. De Wolfe is now up to 150,000.

Double Bubble

Shamus

Two players eliminated on the same hand, so both will be splitting 117th place prize money. (That means Beth Shak was the last player eliminated not to cash, as she was ousted in 119th.)

First, Brandon Schaefer was all in with {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} versus a player holding {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}, and when the board came {10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}, Schaefer was eliminated.

Then, Christian Dillon was eliminated in a hand versus Alan Keating when his ace-high fell to Keating's pair of fours.

Both Schaefer and Dillon get $2,464.50 for their efforts -- a few bucks shy of the buy-in.

In the Money

Two players were eliminated during that last hand, and so we're now in the money. Cries of "All in, now!" were heard around the room.

We'll get you those two bustout hands in just a few.

Running in Place

A bubble hand for you...

Andrew Lichtenberger raised to 6,000 from middle position, and Alex Keating called from the big blind. The flop came {Q-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and both checked. Both also checked the {4-Clubs} on the turn.

The river was the {10-Hearts}. Lichtenberger checked, Keating bet 10,000, and Lichtenberger instantly called, saying "tens" as he turned over {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}.

Keating shook his head and smiled, turning over {A-Spades}{10-Clubs}.

Hurry Up and Wait

With 118 players left, that means we have 14 tables' worth. Lots of people standing up and stretching as they wait for every table to finish one hand. It is currently taking about 3-5 minutes to get through each hand.
