Slaubaugh Sliced Down, Then Out

Cody Slaubaugh opened the pot to 3,000 from middle position before Kyle Hegeman made it 9,000 total from the big blind.

Slaubaugh asked for a count, before pushing out a reraise to 20,000. Hegeman moved all in for his last 42,900 and Slaubaugh called.

Slaubaugh: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Hegeman: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

The board ran out {J-Spades}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs}{K-Spades}{8-Hearts} to see Hegeman double through to nearly 90,000 in chips as Slaubaugh is left crippled with 4,200.

After doubling a few hands later, Slaubaugh got the rest of chips into the middle with {Q-Spades}{9-Hearts} against an opponent's {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}.

His opponent turned a set to send Slaubaugh to the rail.

Demidov Clipped

Ivan Demidov opened to 3,000 before Thomas Fuller pushed all in. Demidov made the call and the cards were tabled.

Demidov: {A-Spades}{3-Spades}
Fuller: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

Demidov found gold on the flop of {2-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and when the turn of the {8-Clubs} landed, it seemed Demidov was set to bust another opponent.

However, the river landed the {10-Hearts}, and Fuller doubled through, leaving Demidov crippled on 13,000 in chips.

Bowker Busts

Kyle Bowker is yet another player to hit the rail today.

Bowker pushed all in holding {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and ran into an opponent's {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}.

The board bricked out and Bowker headed to the rail.

Dean 'dinhjo' Doubles

There are only two Aussie's left in today's tournament - and they have both drawn the same table!

Recently, Rayan Nathan bumped the action up preflop with Jonathan Markham making the call before Dean Nyberg jammed all-in.

Nathan passed, but Markham made the call with {A-?}{10-?} to be dominated by Nyberg's {A-?}{J-?}.

The board blanked out and Nyberg doubled to over 50,000 as Markham was left crippled, and eventually eliminated a few hands later.

Johnson Clipped

Facing a raise to 3,500 from early position, Rodrigo Portaleoni made it 9,000 total from the small blind.

With the action on one-time chip leader Marco Johnson in the big blind, he four-bet jammed for his whole stack. The original raiser passed, but Portaleoni called for his remaining 35,900.

Johnson: {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}
Portaleoni: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} to see Johnson left with 70,000 as Portaleoni climbs to just under 80,000 in chips.
