Mike Sowers bites the dust
Mike Sowers bites the dust

With the action folding round to Mike Sowers in the small blind, he moved all in for 121,000 and James Schaaf made the call from the big bind.

Schaaf: {Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

The board fell {2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} to see Schaaf's queen-high send Sowers to the rail in 25th place for a $17,289 payday as Schaaf climbs back to 885,000 in chips.

Ko: {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Swick: {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

The board fell a rather undramatic {5-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades} to see Swick double through to 322,000 as Ko slips to 485,000 in chips.

Ryan Hemmel opened to 41,000 from the cutoff only to have David Zeitlin move all in for 375,000 from the button. Hemmel deliberated slightly before making the call.

Hemmel: {A-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Zeitlin: {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}

The {J-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop put Hemmel in the lead, and after the {j-Diamonds} and {K-Spades} fell on the turn and river, Zeitlin exited in 24th place as Hemmel climbed to 1,280,000 in chips.

Top Set for Rosskamm

Andrew Rosskamm opened to 50,000 from under the gun and Aaron Gustavson made the call.

Rosskamm flashed his {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} for top set and collected the pot to move to 840,000 as Gustavson slips to 550,000 in chips.

Monster Fade for Gustavson, Siegal and Vaccarello Eliminated

Michael Vaccarello; one of the casualties
Michael Vaccarello; one of the casualties

Michael Vaccarello began cutting out a raise only to have the dealer call a string-bet.

Eventually the decision was that Vaccarello would be bound to a min-raise since the first amount of chips that he cut out was 25,000 therefore meaning he would be bound to a raise ahead of a call.

With the action on Aaron Gustavson, he tossed in three green 75,000-denomination chips only to have David Siegal move all in for 183,000 from the cutoff.

Vaccarello followed suit moving all in for 235,000 as Gustavson double-fist-pump-snap called!

Vaccarello: {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}
Siegal: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Gustavson: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}

The flop fell down {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{10-Hearts} to keep Gustavson in the lead but leave him having to fade any king, jack, nine or heart to eliminate both players.

The turn dropped the {8-Spades} to change little, and after the {2-Spades} landed on the river, Gustavson faded the monster sweat to eliminate two opponents and climb to 1,040,000 in chips.

Bergeron: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Schaaf: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The board ran out {K-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{5-Spades} to see Bergeron double through to 690,000 as Schaaf slips to 565,000 in chips.
