Julius With an Ace in the Hole

Kyle Julius opened to 17,000 and James Harver three-bet all in for 63,000. Julius called and the hands were tabled:

Showdown
Julius: {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Harver: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The {A-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop gave Julius the advantage and Harver couldn't find the last nine on either the turn or the river sending him to the rail. Julius is still alive and well with 460,000 chips.

Fernandez Flips a Coin

Under the gun, Jacobo Fernandez open-shoved for just over 70,000 total. Yat Cheng made the call from middle position, and the race for Fernandez's tournament life was on:

Fernandez: {9-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}
Cheng: {8-Diamonds} {8-Hearts}

The flop was a good miss for Fernandez as it rolled out {Q-Hearts} {3-Spades} {J-Spades} to give him another eight outs at his straight draw. The {10-Diamonds} on the turn was a great card and a pair to pull him into the lead, and the river {8-Spades} looked scary at first, but it filled Fernandez's straight and secured his double up to 158,000.

Cheng is down to a still-healthy 203,000.

Hamilton vs Hakim

Scott Hamilton was all in for his last 65,000 chips and Jeff "YoungSupremacy" Hakim was his only contender.

Showdown
Hamilton {K-Spades}{9-Spades}
Hakim: {2-Spades}{2-Hearts}

Hakim's deuces were in trouble after the flop fell {7-Spades}{8-Spades}{A-Clubs}, and they were drawing dead after the turn brought the {4-Spades}. The {5-Clubs} on the river was but a formality, and Hamilton doubled to 153,000 chips.

Hakim dropped down to 346,000 chips.

A Challenger Awaits...

A short-stacked Ross Myers got his chips in with {6-Clubs} {6-Hearts} before the flop, and Kyle Julius made the call with {A-Spades} {K-Hearts} to race for another knockout.

And knock out he would.

Board: {10-Spades} {8-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades}

Another player is out, and Myers is now squarely in second place with 532,000 chips.

Dwan Drops Down

Short-stacked, Sam Trickett was all in for his last 109,500. Tom "durrrr" Dwan was his only customer and the hands looked like this:

Showdown
Trickett: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Dwan: {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}

The board ran {9-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{8-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Dwan's hand did not improve. Samuel doubled to 225,000 chips and "durrrr" dropped to 600,000.
