Kaufman Out

Michael Kaufman, shoved for about 170,000 chips in early position, and was called by David Peters on the button.

Showdown
Peters: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Kaufman: {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The board spread {8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and Kaufman is out of the tournament. Peters is now up to 620,000 chips.

Vasquez, Clees Out

As Christopher Vasquez was being eliminated on one table, we had another player getting knocked out nearby.

After getting crippled in a big hand versus Ognjen Sekularac, Michael Clees found himself in the small blind facing a button raise from Daniel Hart. Down to just 40,000, Clees called with his {K-Spades}{4-Hearts}, and was hoping to outdraw Hart's pocket treys. But the board came {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, and Clees is out.

Break Time

"All right, guys," said the Tournament Director. "A two-minute break."

A collective "huh?" was followed by chuckles as the TD clarified. "A 20-minute break," he said with a grin.

See you on the other side.

Allis Run Over By Kerr

Paul Kerr opened for 27,000 from middle position, and Michael Allis reraised to 70,000 from the cutoff. It folded back around and Kerr shoved all in, and Allis called with the 156,000 he had left behind.

Kerr {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Allis {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}

Someone mentioned folding {10-}{9-}, which meant the case ten landed on the flop when it came {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, giving Kerr a set. The turn was the {Q-Clubs}, meaning Allis had hope, but the river was the {J-Hearts} and he's out.

Kerr now has 650,000.

Bounce for Bonavida

Dorlan Schick opened with a raise in middle position to 27,000, then Raymond Bonavida reraised all in for 161,000 total. Benjamin Palmer was next to act in the cutoff, and he thought a long while before releasing his hand. The others folded, too, then Schick took about a half-minute before making the call.

Bonavida showed {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} and Schick {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}. The board came {A-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{a-Spades}{6-Clubs}, and Bonavida took the pot. Palmer revealed afterwards that he had folded pocket tens.

Bonavida moves up to 345,000, while Schick is still sitting with about 510,000.
