Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Hunter Frey - 7th Place
Hunter Frey - 7th Place

Jon "PearlJammer" Turner opened for 90,000 on the button and Hunter Frey reraised to 190,000 from the small blind. Turner raised enough to put Frey all in and Frey made the call, which got a wince out of Turner.

Turner: {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
Frey: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}

Turner came out ahead, however, as the board ran out {3-Spades}{K-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, ending Frey's run.

The online prodigy known as "PearlJammer" is back up to three million.

Short Break, Bad Cards

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

The Tournament Director has just called for an unscheduled break.

The main reason the break was called was because Jon Turner spotted a mark card. On closer inspection of the decks in use, along with some of the spares, it was noticed that there was a printing error on every {4-Spades} along with some other low spades in the deck.

Decks for use are currently being checked and re-checked to assure that there is no disadvantage to any player.

And We're On The Move!

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

The Tournament Director has decided to move the players to a standard table located in Amazon Room after thirty set-ups (sixty decks of cards) all had the same flaw.

Being a manufacturing fault, the players are literally spitting chips at the fact they not only have they had to move to an outer table, but also the fact that they are going to use a faulty deck.

The senior Tournament Director on duty told the players that if they can find the {4-Spades}, they will have their chips bagged and play paused for the night.

"This ain't magic on the street!" announced Sean Getzwiller as he sorted through the cards looking for the {4-Spades}.

"If you see it, we will stop for the night!" added the Tournament Director.

Both Getzwiller and Jon Turner sorted through the whole deck, and although they spotted every flaw over in the Thunder-Dome they were unable to find it here, and consequently play returned to normal play.

Crabs Double for Getzwiller

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

From the small blind, Max Weinberg moved all in for over 2 million and Sean Getzwiller made the call from the big blind for his 1,085,000.

Weinberg: {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}
Getzwiller: {3-Clubs}{3-Spades}

"Sick overpair dude!" stated a railbird before the dealer spread a {A-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades} board to ensure Getzwiller's double to 2,190,000 as Weinberg slips to 1,375,000 in chips.
