Sam Stein Eliminated in 24th Place ($25,891), Jared Bleznick Eliminated in 23rd Place ($25,891)

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante
Sam Stein - 24th Place
Sam Stein - 24th Place

From early position, Matt Glantz raised to 35,000 before Sam Stein raised the pot from the hijack. It folded around to Jared Bleznick in the big blind who reraised all in. Glantz thought for a couple of minutes and had both stacks counted down a couple of times. Stein had about 275,000, Bleznick had just more than that, and Glantz had them both covered by about 300,000. Eventually, he made the call, Stein moved in his remaining chips and the hands were turned face up.

Glantz: {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Spades}
Stein: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Bleznick: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

At this point it seemed as if every player left in the tournament was standing around the table watching this massive hand play out. The flop came down {7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{4-Spades} which gave Bleznick two pair and Glantz top pair and a flush draw. The turn was the {6-Clubs} which officially eliminated Sam Stein and left Bleznick drawing to just a Seven or Four.

The river was the {a-Diamonds} and Glantz was able to eliminate both opponents. He now has 1 million chips.

The board ran out {J-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Barlow doubled with a straight.

Doubling Through Kaupp

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Andy Seth was able to double through Benjamin Kaupp when he raised to 50,000 in late position. Kaupp potted from the big blind and Seth called all in for less. Seth held {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} against the {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and when the board ran out {2-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts} he was able to find a double.

A few hands later, Felipe Ramos got in on the action with Kaupp when he got all his money in on a {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds} board. Ramos held {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for top set against the {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} of Kaupp. Ramos needed the board to pair the river and the {9-Hearts} did just that.

Kaupp is now down to 580,000 but still has both of his opponents covered. Ramos has 560,000 while Seth's double was to 200,000.

Will Failla Eliminated in 26th Place ($25,891)

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
Will Failla - 27th Place
Will Failla - 27th Place

Despite Jared Bleznick's claim that he can outplay his opponents post-flop, he was able to bust Will Failla when the money went in preflop. Will Failla got his last 100,000 in with {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} against Bleznick's {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds} which was in the lead.

The flop came {5-Spades}{8-Clubs}{9-Spades} which gave Failla some hope. The turn {4-Hearts} gave Bleznick two pair, and the river {3-Diamonds} bricked Failla again. That was enough to send Failla to the rail in 26th place.
