Keikoan Mounting a Comeback

Simon Morris raised before the flop, and Matt Keikoan put in a third bet. Heads up, the two players took a flop of {8-Spades} {Q-Spades} {K-Hearts}, and they both checked.

That brought them to the {4-Clubs} turn, and Keikoan flat-called a Morris bet. That action repeated on the {2-Hearts} river, and Morris turned up {K-Diamonds} {10-Spades} for top pair. It was no good, though; Keikoan flipped up {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} for the big overpair, good enough to earn the pot and move his way up to 190,000.

Morris is back to 170,000.

Hand By Hand We Go

With the elimination of Michael Reed, we are now squarely on the money bubble. The tournament is being dealt hand-for-hand until we find one more knockout, our unlucky bubble boy who will go home with nothing but the proverbial wooden spoon.

Reed Runs Out of Chips

Michael Reed raised under the gun, and Daniel Idema went ahead and reraised enough to put him all in from the small blind. Reed turned over {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds} for his tournament life, and he was flipping for double or nothing against Idema's {6-Diamonds} {6-Hearts}.

The board ran out sour for Reed as it came {5-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}. Unable to improve his overcards, Michael Reed has run out of chips, and he has been eliminated in 20th place, two spots shy of a payday.

Break it Down

That's the end of levels seven and eight today, and we need to take one more twenty-minute break so everyone can stretch out those cramped legs.

Back shortly.

DeBora Returns the Favor

Just to make things interesting, Greg DeBora has just sent a double up back to Matt Keikoan in a coin flip.

Keikoan was at risk with {J-Spades} {J-Clubs}, and DeBora was racing for the knockout with {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}. The board ran out {2-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}, and that set of jacks earns Keikoan the double up to put both players right at 57,000 chips.
