Flawless Victory for Roberts

Level 8 : 300/600, 0 ante

Catching the action on the turn with the board reading {9-Spades}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} and 6,700 in the pot, Brian "flawless_victory" Roberts checked over to Tom Hall.

Hall bet out 4,000 only to have Roberts raise the pot and make it 18,700. Hall made the call - leaving himself just 6,900 behind - as the dealer completed the board with the {A-Spades} on the river.

Roberts announced all in, and after nearly two minutes in the tank, Hall kicked his cards to the muck. Roberts dragged the pot and moved to roughly 120,000 in chips.

Daniel Negraneau - Eliminated
Daniel Negraneau - Eliminated

Daniel Negreanu got his last 5,200 all in preflop against the player in the big blind.

Negreanu: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Big Blind: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

Negreanu's aces were in the lead until the board ran out {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades}{j-Clubs}{6-Hearts} giving the other player a flush and sending Negreanu to the rail.

Froelich Crippled

Level 8 : 300/600, 0 ante

Catching the action on the flop of {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts} we found Roberto Romanello facing an all in from two players; one of which was Eric Froelich.

Romanello eventually folded to see Froelich table his {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{5-Clubs} to be up against his opponent's {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Spades}.

The turn of the {6-Hearts} changed little, but when the {8-Diamonds} landed on the river, Froelich was left with just 1,800 in chips.

No Big Deal, Just Quads

Level 8 : 300/600, 0 ante

With the board reading {q-Hearts}{9-Spades}{3-Hearts}{3-Spades}, Ben Lamb checked the action to Matt O'Donnell who bet 10,000. Lamb then raised to 22,000 and O'Donnell called. The river brought the {q-Clubs} and Lamb bet out 38,000. O'Donnell called but probably regretted that decision as soon as he saw Lamb flip over his {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} for quad queens.

Lamb's stack was 156,000 after the hand.
