Sparta Vanquished

Phillip Sparta
Phillip Sparta
Phillip Sparta built up a big stack early in the day, but couldn't hold on to it, forcing him to push his last 65,000 into the middle with {10-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} preflop.

He got called by Andrew Seden in the big blind with {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, who made a flush when the board came {6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{8-Spades}.

The pot gave Seden 400,000 chips.

Elliott Levy Eliminated

Elliott Levy put his stack at risk with a weak ace and paid the price when he ran into William Miner's pocket kings.

Levy couldn't catch a hand when the board came {9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. Miner now has a stack worth 390,000.

Woodall Chops Down Woods

In another hand between Warren Woodall and Darren Woods, Woods raised to 16,000 pre and Woodall called from the small blind.

Woodall then check-raised all in after Woods bet 30,000 on a flop of {J-?} {7-?} {2-?} with two diamonds on the board. Woods called and showed {6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a flush draw, while Woodall showed {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

He faded the flush when the board brought no more diamonds, and Woods went to the rail. Woodall now has the chip lead with 740,000.

Andrews Eliminated

With the action folding round to Joseph Baldwin in the small blind, he made the call only to have Scott Andrews push the action to 17,000 from the large.

Baldwin then pushed all in, putting Andrews to a decision for his tournament life. Andrews made the call and the cards were tabled.

Andrews: {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Baldwin: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}

The board ran out {4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{8-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{J-Clubs} to see Andrews hit the rail as Baldwin climbed to 400,000 in chips.

Panone Gets Pipped; Busted

Donovan Panone put his stack at risk preflop versus Andrew Seden, and didn't like what he saw.

Panone: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Seden: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

A board that ran {K-?} {3-?} {5-?} {A-?} X provided no help for Panone. Seden's stack is now 357,000.

Levy Doubles Up

Brandon Myers made it 15,000 to go and Elliott Levy re-raised all in for 69,000.

Myers took nearly a minute before announcing a call and showing {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}, which put him slightly behind Levy's {A-Diamonds}{5-Spades}.

Levy loved the door card when the flop came {A-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, and faded Myers' remaining outs when the board finished {8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}.

After the hand, Myers had slipped to 85,000 while Levy climbed to 139,000.
