Flip Tokens Used Up

Jack Powell clearly used up all his flip tokens, as well as his One Time! card™ which automatically allows you to win a crucial flip. He called a short stack's all in with {5-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} and raced unsuccessfully against {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} on a {7-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {8-Spades} {6-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} board, counterfeited on the river.

They're Supposed to Have It the Third Time

There's a story with a climax here. The two men involved were Jason Wheeler and Ed Chang. It seemed as though Chang had some sort of beef with Wheeler. Wheeler opened from third spot before Chang three-betted all in for a nearly 250,000. Fold.

Next hand Wheeler opened from second position and again Chang moved all in and the whole time was staring Wheeler down with what looked like real menace in his eyes. Wheeler shrugged his shoulders and folded once again.

The third hand Wheeler opens for a raise from UTG and our friend Chang moves all in again. One time too many this time though as Wheeler calls with {K-Spades} {K-Clubs} and is in great shape against the {A-Clubs} {6-Clubs} on Chang.

The board ran {J-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {8-Spades}. Wheeler's win puts him up to 260,000. Chang down to 115,000.

Slowing of the Pace

With 53 players left, play has really started to slow down once again. The blinds will be going up to a chunky 3,000/6,000 in a couple of minutes which leave many of the stacks simply looking for spots to move in on.

Double Elimination

A short stacked Chau Giang moved all in from MP before Ryan Broderick reraised all in for 70,000 from the SB. Chris MacNeil in the BB had both players covered and made the call.

Showdown

Giang -- {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}
Broderick -- {A-?} {7-?}
MacNeil -- {8-Hearts} {8-Clubs}

The board ran {6-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} to bust two and put MacNeil on 250,000.
