Tsinis, Conrad & Quach Eliminated

Chad Holloway

Chris Tsinis moved all in from early position for around 55,000 only to have Allen Kessler move all in over the top from the cutoff. The button and blinds all folded, and Kessler said, "Wow, big race here," upon seeing Tsinis' cards.

Showdown

Tsinis
Kessler

Kessler didn't even watch the board as the dealer ran out {K-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} , giving him the pot.

Meanwhile, both Huy Quach and Chris Conrad preceded Tsinis out the door.

Slow Going

Chad Holloway

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Being just two players away from the money, action has slowed considerably. No one wants to leave empty handed, though sooner or later two players are going to do just that.

One for Stone

Chad Holloway

Four players created a pot of 42,000 and saw a flop of {8-Spades} {8-Clubs} {Q-Spades} . Nikolas Stone checked from the small blind, Mitch Schock did the same from the big, and Drazen Ilich bet 13,000 from the cutoff. Mark Bonsack folded the button, Stone called, Schock got out of the way, and it was heads-up action to the {J-Hearts} turn.
