Kyle Frey Eliminated in 12th Place ($13,368); Nikita Lebedev Advances!

Level 7 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Kyle Frey - 12th Place
Kyle Frey - 12th Place

Nikita Lebedev opened to 16,000 only to have Kyle Frey move all in from the big blind for 252,000. Lebedev contemplated a decision for a few moments before making the call to put Frey at risk.

Frey: {A-Spades}{9-Spades}
Lebedev: {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

With Lebedev in great shape, the {10-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop changed little until the {Q-Clubs} fell on the turn. Frey would now need one of four jacks in the deck just to chop, but after the {2-Diamonds} completed the board on the river, Frey was pushed to the rail in 12th place as Nikita Lebedev advances to the final table.

Just One More Match

Level 7 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

With the recent conclusion of the Nikita Lebedev and Kyle Frey match, only one remains.

Although starting late after taking a full dinner break, Yasuhiro Waki and Mark Radoja are still playing the remainder of the previous 4,000 - 8,000 and 1,000-ante level and sit fairly even in chips although Radoja holds a slight edge.

In the final hand of this grueling, back-and-forth heads-up match, Mark Radoja opened for 16,000 from the button and Yasuhiro Waki three-bet to 48,000. Radoja announced he was all-in and Waki called for his remaining 230,000.

Waki: {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Radoja: {Q-Clubs}{K-Spades}

Both players got up out of their seats in anticipation.

Flop: {J-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Waki screamed.

Turn: {A-Hearts}

River: {K-Hearts}, which paired Radoja's king and left him with the best hand.

"Kiiing! Kiiing! Lets gooooo!!" Radoja shouted in ecstasy.

Gracious in defeat, Waki shook hands with Radoja and headed for the rail.

Shootout Final Table Set; USA Dominating

Level 4 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

The penultimate day of Event #24: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout has wrapped up here at the 2011 World Series of Poker and the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino!

The 387-player field was whittled down to just forty yesterday, and on return to the felt today, those forty players were split amongst ten tables of four-handed play. A win on your table not only meant a guaranteed payday of $28,447, but also a spot on an elusive WSOP final table.

Four-handed play is often accustomed with fast action, and today was no disappointment as chips flew around the tables. Unfortunately there would always be players that suffered as a result, and James Dempsey (39th), Maxim Lykov (38th), Tommy Vedes (37th), Jeff Williams (32nd), Dan O'Brien (29th), Jason Young (28th), Toby Lewis (23rd), Justin Bonomo (21st), JP Kelly (18th), Erik Seidel (17th), Gavin Smith (16th), James Akenhead (15th) and Jordan Young (14th) all fell short of the final table as the following players managed to best their table.

Sean Getzwiller has made his second final table of the series after winning a bracelet in the Event #8: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em, and is in great form to have a crack at another one following his demolition of his table over the past two days. Online phenoms Adam Junglen, Tom Marchese, Dan Smith and Todd Terry are in the mix while Mark Radoja will be riding a high wave of confidence after an epic heads-up match.
