Landfish: {x-}{x-} / {8-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{6-Spades} / {x-}

Sorel Mizzi had raised and Steve Landfish called, Mizzi fired again on forth but Landfish put in a raise before both players checked fifth. Mizzi then fired again on sixth and seventh and Landfish called both times.

"Sixes," said Mizzi and Landfish turned over {Q-Spades}{3-Spades}{K-Clubs} for kings to take the pot.

Glantzing Blow

Glantz: {X-}{X-} / {5-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Hearts} / {X-}
Kostritsyn: {X-}{X-} / {10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Spades} / {X-}

After losing the previous hand, Matt Glantz raised, Alexander Kostritsyn re-raised and Glantz called. Glantz check-called Kostritsyn’s bet on fourth and then called Kostristsyn’s bets on all remaining streets. Kostritsyn showed {10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{Q-Spades} for trips and Glantz mucked.

Matt Hawrilenko Eliminated in 16th Place ($20,916)

Level 18 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante
Matt Hawrilenko - 16th place
Matt Hawrilenko - 16th place

Matt Hawrilenko's exit, was a tale of two hands.

Hawrilenko: {x-}{x-} / {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Hearts} / {x-}
Tang: {x-}{x-} / {10-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} / {x-}
Brown: {x-}{x-} / {5-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Spades} FOLDED

Hawrilenko checked on fourth and then check-raised when Tang bet and Brown called but both called the raise. Hawrilenko then fired fifth with Tang calling and Brown folding, Tang called another bet on sixth street as well. On seventh, Hawrilenko check-called a bet but was very disappointed when Tang turned over {J-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} for trips to win the pot.

This left the former WSOP bracelet winner as the short stack and he was soon all in against Tang but couldn't make a pair with his board coming {K-}{J-Spades} / {10-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-}{9-Spades} / {4-Spades} as Tang managed to make queens on a board of {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades} / {K-Clubs}{8-}{Q-Hearts}{2-Spades} / {J-Clubs} - enough to win the pot.

Mercier Doubles Through Tryba

Mercier: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} / {3-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} / {Q-Spades}
Tryba: {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} / {8-Spades}{J-Spades}{5-Clubs}{7-Spades} / {K-Diamonds}
Tang: {X-}{X-} / {10-Clubs}{5-Hearts} FOLDED

Jason Mercier was all in on fourth and at risk but leading with a pair of 9s against Chris Tryba’s 8s. Tryba picked up an open-ended straight draw on sixth but wasn’t able to improve on seventh which gave Mercier the double up. He was commended quite nicely by some tablemates on how he played the hand where he managed to get Tang to fold.

Schulman Doubles Through Wahlbeck

Level 18 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante

By fifth street, Nick Schulman was showing a board of {K-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} against Ville Wahlbeck's {Q-Spades}{9-Clubs}{A-Spades} when the Finn raised, in effect, Schulman all in. Schulman called with {J-Hearts}{J-Spades} in the whole and Wahlbeck showed {8-Spades}{5-Spades} for a flush draw. Wahlbeck missed on sixth, Schulman improved to aces and kings by seventh while Wahlbeck was left to sweat his final card.

"It's black..." announced Wahlbeck.

"It's black?" replied Schulman, a tad concerned.

"No, it's not," answered the Finn, showing the {8-Hearts} to much giggling.

Matt Glantz Eliminated in 15th Place ($20,916)

Matt Glantz - 15th place
Matt Glantz - 15th place

Matt Glantz found himself all in before fifth street against Steve Landfish. We arrived at the table and the cards were a bit all over the place, but Glantz's two pair were inferior to Landfish's.

Glantz: {6-Clubs}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades} {J-Diamonds} (not necessarily in that order)
Landfish: {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} (not necessarily in that order)

Glantz didn't fill up on seventh street, exiting the tournament in 15th place.
