Aces Don't Hold for Clements
As we get deeper and deeper into the money here in this Main Event, the stakes increase more and more. Getting your aces to hold up becomes even more important than it normally would be. That was the situation Scott Clements found himself in -- hoping his aces held -- after Clements raised pre-flop to 95000 and Brian Jensen jammed for 680,000 with pocket tens. The flop came 
, great for Clements, but Jensen spiked a 
on the turn to take the lead. He dragged the pot after the river blanked out 
.
Clements is down to about 2.1 million.
Ferrarizumbini Zooms Out
Flavio Ferrarizumbini opened top 105,000 from under the gun and Alexander Kostritsyn made the call from the small blind.
Kostritsyn led out for 175,000 on the 
flop and Ferrarizumbini made the call as the 
landed on the turn.
Kostritsyn led strongly once more; this time for 475,000, only to have Ferrarizumbini move all in for 1,905,000. Kostritsyn instantly called, and we were off to a showdown.
Ferrarizumbini: 
Kostritsyn: 
With Ferrarizumbini needing a jack or any spade that didn't pair the board, he would unfortunately see the 
land on the river to send Ferrarizumbini to the rail and Kostritsyn soaring up to 6,450,000 in chips.
Doublin' with a Bang
Jeff Banghart was just all in the previous hand when he shoved again on this one. He held the 
and was up against the 
for Matthew Berkey.
The board ran out 
and Banghart earned the double. He's now back over one million in chips.
Baldwin Turns a Double Play
Andrew Brokos opened to 80,000 from the button, and small blind Eric Baldwin reraised all in for his full stack of 780,000 chips.
Showdown
Brokos: 
Baldwin: 
"Ace-eight of clubs versus jack-ten of hearts," Brokos astutely noted, announcing the hands for his railbird friends who are too far away to see the cards. "I'm ahead."
"For now," Adam Levy said from the nine seat. "But your hand is way behind in prettiness."
The flop came out 
, and Baldwin pulled himself into the lead. "Jack-six-four," Brokos announced again. "I'm way behind!"
The turn gave Baldwin two pair, but Brokos still seemed to be sweating the river. "Ten," he said. "No help." After another couple seconds, he realized he was drawing dead. "Oh, he has two pair!" he finally noticed.
The meaningless 
filled out the board, and Brokos paid off his debt to double "basebaldy" up to 1.41 million. He and Brokos have essentially traded stacks.
Banghart Chops to Stick Around
Jeff Banghart moved all in from the cutoff seat for 435,000. Bryn Kenney called from the button and the hands were opened up. Banghart held the 
. He was dominated by the for Kenney.
The board ran through 
to keep Banghart alive with a chop as both players played their ace kicker with the two pair on board.
Carroll Flushed By Shnayder
James Carroll was the short stack of the field and tried to make something happen by moving all in preflop for his last 340,000 with but Evgeny Shnayder made the call with a dominant 
.
The board ran out 
to make Shnayder the nut flush to take it down. Carroll hits the rail in 96th place.
Dorfman Clips Kostritsyn
Randy Dorfman opened to 105,000 from under the gun and Alexander Kostritsyn defended his big blind.
Dorfman fired out 150,000 on the flop and Kostritsyn check-called to see the 
on the turn and a bet of 375,000 follow from Dorfman.
Kostritsyn sat back in his chair looking and both the board, the pot and Dorfman over the next two minutes before sliding out a stack of chips to signify a call.
The river landed the 
and Kostritsyn led out for 125,000 only to have Dorfman instantly move all in to prompt a fold from Kostritsyn.
Affluent Affleck
Just before the break, Matt Affleck took a huge pot off of Sergey Rybachenko. The pair made it to the river at which point the board was queen-high and showed three diamonds. Affleck put out a bet of 700,000 and Rybachenko called.
Rybachenko had , but Affleck had 
for the flush. Affleck returns from break to a stack of 6.94 million, while Rybachenko is down to 890,000.
Last Level!
Tournament Director Jack Effel has just announced that this will be the last level of the night. Originally, the field was scheduled to play five full levels today -- taking us halfway into Level 26 -- but it appears that Effel is satisfied enough with the pace of play to give the players an early departure.
