Boivin Eliminated

Donald Boivin made it 25,000 to go and Sergey Konkin reraised to 75,000. Boivin pushed and Konkin called.

Boivin: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Konkin: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}

The board of {A-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{4-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} offered Boivin no help, and he hit the rail. Konkin, meanwhile, increased his stack to 720,000.

Remic Doubles

Christopher DeMaci raised to 27,000 and Miha Remic moved all in for 143,000. DeMaci made the call with {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds}. Remic held pocket tens, {10-Hearts} {10-Spades}.

The board didn't give any help to DeMaci and Remic's tens held strong to earn him the double up.

Wheeler Rolls On

Jason Wheeler got his stack in the middle pre and got called by Randy Pfeifer.

Wheeler: {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Pfeifer: {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

When the board came {K-Spades}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, Wheeler doubled up to 245,000.

Chaplin's on Fire

Joseph Chaplin won two big hands back to back.

With 80,000 in the pot, Chaplin and Jon Christensen saw a flop of {10-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. Christensen bet 50,000 and Chaplin flatted, taking us to the turn and the {J-Clubs} where Christensen check-called for 50,000 more.

The river brought the {9-Spades} and Christensen check-called another 125,000 before Chaplin turned over {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for quads. That hand left Christensen with just 65,000.

On the next hand, Chaplin called a preflop all in bet for 130,000 before turning over pocket tens for a second time. His opponent held {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} and couldn't improve when the board ran out. That hand brought Chaplin's count to 800,000.

Just Quads For Rosini

Catching the action on the flop with the board reading {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}, Kevin Rosini found himself all in holding {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} against the straight draw of Jason Wheeler with {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

The turn gave Wheeler a flush-draw when it landed the {4-Diamonds}, but with the dealer burning and turning the {9-Spades} on the river, Rosini doubled through to 330,000 as Wheeler slipped to 200,000.

Norris Double Doubles

Josh Norris has found two doubles within the space of a few hands to go from 33,000 all the way up to 158,000.

In a blind versus blind battle, Norris woke up with aces to his opponent's pocket nines, and then turned a full house with {A-?}{Q-?} against {J-?}{10-?}.
