Loren Klein Eliminated in 14th Place ($13,026)

Len Ashby raised to 28,000 from under the gun and Theo Jorgensen called before Loren Klein reraised all in. Ashby folded and Jorgensen called.

Klein: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Jorgensen: {K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

Klein remained in front and picked up a flush draw on the turn when the board came {6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, but the river was unkind, bringing the {4-Spades} and giving Jorgensen two pair.

Klein left with $13,026 while Jorgensen rebuilt his stack. He now sits with 435,000.

Len Ashby Eliminated in 13th Place ($13,026)

Len Ashby - 13th Place
Len Ashby - 13th Place
Len Ashby led out for 55,000 on a {6-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} flop. Theo Jorgensen re-potted, setting Ashby all in and he made the call for his last 180,000.

Ashby {A-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {6-Hearts}
Jorgensen {6-Clubs} {6-Spades} {5-Clubs} {5-Diamonds}

Ashby was looking for a diamond to fade Jorgensen's set of sixed, but didn't get there, the turn falling the {7-Spades} and the river the {J-Spades} to send him to the rail in 13th place.

Jorgensen is now the chip leader with 765,000.

Flowers' Chip Stack Blooms

Dallas Flowers raised to 28,000 from the cutoff and got called by Lev Briskin in the big blind.

When Briskin checked the flop of {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{10-Spades}, Flowers bet all in for 23,000 and Briskin made the call.

Flowers: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Briskin: {K-Spades}{9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

When the board finished with the {2-Hearts} and {3-Spades}, Flowers' trips held and he doubled up to 110,000.

Lev Briskin Eliminated in 12th Place ($17,488)

In a battle of the blinds, Lev Briskin bet 48,000 on a flop of {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and got called by Ross Boatman.

Briskin bet his last 38,000 on the turn, which brought the {8-Diamonds}, and Boatman called again.

Briskin: {9-Spades}{K-Spades}{9-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Boatman: {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

Briskin was looking for a ten to make his straight while Boatman had an open-ended straight draw and needed any diamond to hit his flush. Neither came with the {2-Spades} on the river, and Boatman took the pot with a pair of queens.

Stephen Ladowsky Eliminated in 11th Place ($17,488)

Stephen Ladowsky pushed all in for 12,000 from the cutoff and got called by J.C. Tran and John Juanda out of the blinds.

When Tran bet 10,000 on a flop of {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, Juanda folded and the cards were flipped.

Tran: {J-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Ladowsky: {K-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{9-Spades}

When the {Q-Hearts} fell on the turn and the river came up a brick, Ladowsky left the tournament in 11th place.

I crack aces with my stare alone

John Juanda opened for 35,000 from the hijack seat, Jean-Phillipe Leandri re-potted from the small blind and Juanda called all in for about 98,000.

Juanda {10-Spades} {9-Hearts} {8-Spades} {7-Hearts}
Leandri {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {Q-Spades} {J-Spades}

The flop was perfect for Juanda, coming down {8-Hearts} {7-Spades} {6-Clubs} to make him the nut straight. He picked up a flush draw to boot when the {4-Hearts} fell on the turn and he made it on the river with the {A-Hearts}.

Juanda doubled to 210,000 while Leandri was left with only 108,000.
