Kelly Kim Eliminated

A short-stacked Kelly Kim pushed his last 18,200 into the middle and found a caller in both Neil Channing and Joe Simmons out of the blinds.

The flop fell down {K-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Channing lead out for 25,000 with Simmons making the call.

Both players checked the turn and river down when it fell the {6-Spades} and {4-Clubs} to see Channing table his {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. However Simmons would roll his {J-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, and once Kim flashed and mucked his {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}, Simmons scooped the pot to move to 443,000 as Kim headed to the rail.

Channing Cut Down

Luck no lady tonight for Channing
Luck no lady tonight for Channing
We caught the action with the board reading {6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and the action on Joe Simmons after Neil Channing had checked.

Simmons announced all in and was insta-called by Channing as a 300,000-chip pot had developed.

Channing: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Simmons: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

When the turn landed the {5-Hearts} it would leave Channing still drawing to one of the two remaining Queen's in the deck.

Paint would land on the river, but unfortunately for Channing it would be the {J-Hearts} to see him head to the rail as Simmons soars to just under 500,000 in chips.

Broadway Cracks Nyberg

Facing a raise from late position to 7,400, Dean 'dinhjo' Nyberg pushed the last of his 35,300 into pot.

Robert Taylor Perkins asked for a count, before raising to 70,000 total. The original raiser folded, and the cards were tabled.

Nyberg: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Perkins: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

The flop fell down {8-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} to keep Nyberg in front, but when the {10-Spades} landed on the turn, Perkins made Broadway to put Nyberg on the rail.

As the meaningless {A-Diamonds} was dealt on the river, Nyberg headed to the payout desk to collect $3,528 for his efforts.

Straight Flush Double For Boeree

Liv Boeree has managed to find a double up after making a straight flush against her opponent.

After the hand, Liv told us holding her opponent moved all in on a {Q-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop and she made the call holding {K-Spades}{J-Spades}.

Her opponent was in the lead with {K-?}{Q-?}, but after the turn of the {8-Spades} dropped, followed by the river of the {10-Spades}, Boeree doubled with her rivered straight flush to over 110,000 in chips.

Can't catch Simmons' bluff

Joe Simmons opened the pot to 14,000 before being three-bet to 42,000 by Mats Gavatin out of the small blind.

Simmons made the call and then proceeded to call 55,000 on the flop of {K-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades}.

The turn of the {3-Spades} went check, check, but when the river of the {2-Hearts} landed Gavatin checked to Simmons who fired 100,000 into the pot.

Gavatin eventually mucked his hand, but wished he didn't went Simmons tabled his {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for just eight-high; but the pot, as he climbs to 605,000 while Gavatin slips to 165,000.

In great shape against the {A-Hearts}{4-Spades} of his opponent, the final board of {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} would see Croffut double to 150,000 in chips.
