I Gotta Feeling...
Action folded to Jonathan Aguiar in the small blind who shoved for around 90,000 chips. The big blind tanked for a good minute or two before finally calling and showing 
.
Aguiar turned over 
announcing, "I have a good feeling about this one."
The dealer wrapped the tabled and flopped 
.
"Jack please," Aguiar asked the dealer.
No jack on the turn, rather it was the 
. The river did fill the gut-shot though with the 
, eliminating Aguiar's opponent from the tournament.
Aguiar's hunch was correct, and now he's sitting with 180,000 chips.
Luckbox Lutz
Tom Lutz found himself all in with 
against a mid-position player's pocket 
.
Not so bad. That's a coinflip, right?
Flop: 
Uh oh. It's not a coinflip any more.
Turn:
Interesting...
River: ... 
!
Lutz duly doubled up. As our man on the floor asked Lutz for his name, tablemate Eric Aude piped up, "Call him the suckout king, 'cause there's no-one else at this table in the running." He turned to Lutz. "Have you ever gotten it in in this tournament ahead?"
Elpayaa's Nightmare Level Ends
Level 17 was hell for Joe Elpayaa. He was two-outed then coolered, and now he is eliminated from the tournament.
Elpayaa stuck his last 10,000 in the middle when the action folded to him on the button and a player in the small blind called. The player in the big blind isolated the shove, the small blind folded and the hands were tabled:
Big Blind:
Elpayaa:
Elpayaa found no help from the 
board and hit the rail.
Dolo's Double KO
He still ain't afraid, and now he's the chip leader.
Robert "E-Dolo" Scott and two other players saw a flop of 
and the action checked to an early-position player who bet 14,000. The other player in the small blind shoved all-in and Scott called. The early-position player then re-shoved and Scott again called.
Small Blind: 
Scott:
Early Position: 
The 
turn changed little, but when the 
spiked on the river Scott shipped a huge pot. This one went without celebration, which surprised us.
Maybe 370,000 chips and the chip lead will quiet Dolo for a bit.
In Need of 'Elp
Joe Elpayaa has taken another hit, and although it hasn't proved fatal exactly, consider him on life support.
All the chips went in preflop, Elpayaa holding pocket queens but trailing his opponent's pocket aces. The board ran out relatively raggy, and Elpayaa was left with just 10,000.
Mo' Money, No Problems
We just went up a pay jump.
"Woo, let's chop!" cried one punter.
We play on.
Markholt Gone
Lee Markholt got it all-in holding but was up against an opponent's .
The board ran 
and Markholt hit the rail.

Elpayaa Takes a Hit
Joseph "bigegypt" Elpayaa forced a short-stacked player all-in and had him dominated with 
against 
.
Unfortunately for Elpayaa there was a on the flop, and after blanks hit both the turn and river he lost the 110,000 chip pot to slip to 87,000 chips.
