Victor is the Victor

We don't know how the action went, but both Victor Ilyukhin and Chris Moorman had about the same in chips with Ilyukhin holding a few 100 more managed to get all in preflop.

Moorman: {J-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Ilyukhin: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

Moorman was going to need some help if he planned to steal this away from Ilyukhin. His prayers were not answered as the board ran {4-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} and Moorman was eliminated.

Lichtenberger Lives On

Markus Gonsalves moved all in from the button and received a call from Andrew Lichtenberger. Cards were tabled and it was Lichtenberger's {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} that held the slight lead against Gonsalve's {10-Hearts}{j-Spades}.

A {6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{k-Spades} board fell out of the deck and it was Lichtenberger's king high that was best. Lichtenberger looks to play Russell Rosenblum next.

Katz Beats Duthie

Cary Katz just busted John Duthie giving him a ticket for the third round. Katz explained to us what happened in the biggest pot of the match. In the current level Katz limped the button with {Q-}{J-} and Duthie checked his option. The flop came down {J-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and Duthie lead out. Katz moved all in and Duthie called creating a 72,000 chip pot. Duthie showed {J-}{10-} and lost this massive pot.

On the final hand Duthie was all in for just 3,000 chips and Katz called with {4-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. Duthie showed {5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and the board ran out {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} giving Katz a flush and the win.
