Roux Doubles Through Baldwin

Joseph Baldwin put 25,000 in the pot from late position and Anthony Roux moved his entire stack of 130,000 in from the small blind. Baldwin called and the race was on.

Baldwin: {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Roux: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}

A board {K-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}{K-Clubs}{J-Hearts} did no damage to Roux's pair and he doubled to 290,000 while Baldwin found himself with a short stack of just 85,000.

Roux Doubles (Again)

With the action on Anthony Roux on the button, he opened with a raise to 25,000.

Action was on Joe Morneau in the small blind and he pushed the action up to 85,000. Roux then four-bet all in for around 250,000 and Morneau made the call.

Roux: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Morneau: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades}

The board ran out {A-Hearts}{5-Spades}{7-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Hearts} to see Roux double to 560,000 as Morneau slips to 400,000 and change.

Joseph Baldwin Eliminated in 24th Place ($15,270)

Tommy Chen opened to 25,000 from the button and was immediately met with a reraise all in from Joseph Baldwin in the big blind.

Chen called and tabled his {K-Hearts}{4-Spades} to be slightly ahead of Baldwin's {K-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}.

Baldwin took the lead on the {J-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop, but would have to sweat a four or any heart to give Chen the lead and see himself hit the rail.

The turn fell a safe {A-Spades}, but when the river peeled the {5-Hearts} Baldwin was sent to the rail as Chen climbed to 520,000 in chips.

Chen Doubles Through Cole

Corwin Cole made it 35,000 to play from the button and Tommy Chen moved in for 185,000 from the small blind. Cole called and showed {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}, which trailed Chen's {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}.

When the board finished {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, Chen's king played and he doubled to 400,000. Cole still has a comfortable 800,000.

Jamie Brown and Manuel Bevand Eliminated in 22nd and 23rd Place ($15,270)

Catching the action on the flop of {9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, Manuel Bevand moved all in and was immediately followed by Jamie Brown.

Steven Tabb had both players covered and made the call to see a remarkable three-way all in.

Bevand: {5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Brown: {K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Tabb: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}

The turn and river blanked out for the all in players when it fell the {4-Clubs} and {5-Spades} to see Brown exit in 22nd and Bevand in 23rd as Tabb soared to 1,395,000 in chips.
