King Clancy Doubles Through Valkenburg

It was folded around to Paulus Valkenburg on the button who went all in for 420,000. Jonathan Clancy immediately called from the small blind for his stack of 315,000. The big blind folded and the players flipped their cards.

Clancy: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Valkenburg: {A-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}

The board ran out {10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{10-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{5-Spades} and provided no help to Valkenburg who dropped down to five big blinds while Clancy doubled.

Rudnik Doubles Through Findlay

We caught up with the action on a {K-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{6-Spades}{A-Spades} board where Andrew Rudnik checked to Alex Findlay who bet 80,000. Rudnick check-shoved for 269,000 more and after a bit of time, Findlay made the call. Rudnik turned over {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds} for the nut flush which was good for the double up when Findlay mucked.

From under the gun, Genefredo Legaspi made a raise to 110,000, leaving himself with just 1,000 behind. Justin Cohen was on the button and didn't see the stack of 22 red chips worth 5,000 each sitting in the middle of the table that represented Legaspi's near all-in raise. He tried to make it 35,000 but eventually just called when he figured out what was going on. The dealer made sure to let the players know that Legaspi was not all in.

The blinds folded, the flop came {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and the players got it in. Cohen had {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} and left Legaspi drawing to running cards with {a-Diamonds}{4-Spades}. The turn was the {10-Clubs} and that was all she wrote for Legaspi. Cohen now sits with 925,000.

From the cutoff, Ravi Raghaven moved all in for his last 211,000. Justin Cohen asked for a count and eventually made the call from the small blind. The big blind quickly mucked and the hands were revealed.

Raghaven: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Cohen: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}

"King-Queen! Good luck!" Cohen exclaimed. He seemed excited just to be in the moment. The positive attitude brought a positive flop. {k-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} peeled out and Cohen had his all-in opponent drawing to running Kings or running clubs. The turn was the {7-Hearts} and left Raghaven drawing dead. Cohen filled up with the {j-Hearts} on the meaningless river and stacked chips now amounting to 800,000.

Jake Flores Eliminated in 19th Place ($13,978)

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Action folded around to Mike Schmid in the small blind and he decided to raise to 40,000. Jake Flores looked down at his cards, thought a moment and moved all in for his remaining 226,000. Schmid thought for about a minute before making the call. His {a-Spades}{9-Clubs} was well ahead of the {a-Diamonds}{4-Spades} of Flores but the window card hit Flores hard. It was the {4-Hearts} and came with the {10-Clubs} and {8-Clubs}. The turn was the {5-Hearts} and Schmid needed one of the three Nines left in the deck.

The dealer slowly dealt the last card face down and dragged it to where the river card should go. After building the anticipation with a slow draw, he quickly flipped it up when it reached its final destination. Of course at that point it could only be the {9-Diamonds}. The table and rail all flinched a little for different reasons when it hit and in just over one level, we have eliminated nine players and have reached our final two tables.
