Parker Plunges
Level 16
: 400/800, 0 ante
After a 
board was spread by the dealer Brock Parker bet out 1,600. His opponent, Dan Smith took his time before announcing raise, and putting in 3,900. Action was back to Parker who threw in a giant stack of orange, yellow, and blue and declared all in. Smith made a fairly quick call and both players turned over their hands.
Parker: 
Smith: 
Parker was miles behind as his pair of fives were no match for Smith's pair of jacks. A five or running straight cards could save Parker, but a 
on the turn and a 
river card brought not such luck. Smith was awarded the double up, and now takes a strong lead in the match.

Romanello Loses Some
Level 14
: 200/400, 0 ante
Roberto Romanello opted to cash in both lammers right from the start while Jeffery Kester still has two left behind. We just saw a 
flop and Romanello bet 2,600. Kester raised to 7,000 and Romanello put him all in. After tanking for quite some time his opponent called all in for 17,700. Romanello tabled 
and he was up against 
.
The turn brought out the and the river the giving Kester a double up. Romanello is down to around 40,000 chips while his opponent has the same amount with two lammers left behind.
Bonomo Busts Riordan
We don't know exactly how the action went, but we know John Riordan was all in and at risk of being eliminated by Justin Bonomo. Bonomo held 
while Riordan had 
the board completely blanked out and Bonomo was awarded the pot as his king high was best.
Bonomo now awaits the winner of the Eevert Kokkonen vs. Andrew Frankenberger match.
