Ashton Griffin Eliminated in 13th Place ($18,380)

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Ashton Griffin - 13th Place
Ashton Griffin - 13th Place

Down to less than 100,000, Ashton Griffin watched from the small blind as the table folded to Ryan Chapman who raised from the button. Griffin then pushed his last chips all in and when the action was back on Chapman he called.

Griffin: {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}
Chapman: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}

Griffin was already getting up as the flop came {J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} to give Chapman a big straight draw to go with his queens. The turn then brought the {6-Spades} and river the {9-Hearts}, giving Chapman his straight and knocking Griffin out in 13th.

[Removed:424] Eliminated in 14th Place ($18,380)

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
[Removed:424] - 14th Place
[Removed:424] - 14th Place

[Removed:424] opened with a pot-sized raise to 35,000 from early position. The table folded to William Black in the cutoff who called, and the players sitting in between the pair stepped aside.

The flop came {J-Hearts}{3-Spades}{K-Spades} and Perez checked. Black took the opening to bet 85,000, and Perez quickly check-raised all in for his last 120,000 or so. Black called, and Perez tabled his {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs} for top two pair and a gutshot Broadway draw. Black then turned over his hand — {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} for a set of jacks.

The turn was the {Q-Diamonds} which improved Perez's two pair, but the {8-Hearts} river didn't help him further and he was eliminated in 14th place.

Madsen Keeps Adding

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Jeff Madsen just added a few more to his leading stack at the expense of Scott Clements.

The pair found their way together to the river as the community cards came {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, then {3-Diamonds}, then {10-Hearts} , at which point Clements fired a bet of 82,000 into the middle. Madsen thought for nearly two minutes before calling, and Clements immediately patted the felt before him in response. Madsen turned over {A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs} for the flush and collected the chips.

Hannawa Doubles Through Griffin

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Following an Ashton Griffin open to 22,000 from middle position, Danny Hannawa reraised the pot to 92,000 from the small blind and Griffin called.

The flop came {Q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, Hannawa promptly bet all in with his last 132,000, and Griffin called right away.

Hannawa had {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{3-Hearts} while Griffin had {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}{10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. The turn was the {6-Diamonds} and the river the {3-Spades}, meaning Hannawa's kings had held to give him the big double.

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Brian Alioa - 15th Place
Brian Alioa - 15th Place

Scott Clements raised to 25,000 in the hijack seat, Brian Alioa called all in for that exact amount in the cutoff, and Jeff Madsen called on the button. Clements and Madsen both checked, on the flop ({5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}) and the turn ({8-Spades}), and the {j-Clubs} completed the board. Clements check-folded to a bet of 25,000 from Madsen, and the two remaining hands were opened for the main pot.

Alioa: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs}
Madsen: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts}

Madsen took down the pot with top two pair, eliminating Alioa in 15th place.

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Ashton Griffin raised to 27,000 from under the gun, Danny Hannawa three-bet the pot (93,000) from the cutoff, and the action folded back to Griffin, who moved all in for effectively 106,000. Hannawa quickly called.

Griffin: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Hannawa: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}

Hannawa's hand held up as the board ran out {q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}, and he doubled to 227,000 chips. Griffin dropped down to 515,000.

Mike Sexton Eliminated in 16th Place ($14,693)

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Mike Sexton
Mike Sexton

Just as Level 19 was coming to a close, Poker Hall of Famer Mike Sexton became the fourth elimination of the first hour today after losing the last of his stack to chip leader Jeff Madsen.

Sexton's final hand began with the "Ambassador of Poker" raising to 18,000 from under the gun and getting three callers in Madsen (middle position), Isaac Hagerling (button), and Scott Clements (big blind). The flop came {8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} and after Clements checked, Sexton bet 60,000.

Madsen sat for about a half-minute in his characteristic pose, riffling his chips with his right hand while his left hand rested on his opposite shoulder, then raised to 175,000. The bet forced both Hagerling and Clements to release their hands, then forced Sexton into a couple of minutes' worth of contemplation over whether or not to commit his final 85,000 or so.

Finally Sexton called, asking "You got a set?" "Yes," said Madsen as he turned over {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for three kings. Sexton showed his {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and began calculating what sort of runner-runner combination might save him. The {10-Diamonds} on the turn provided the first step toward one of those possibilities, but the river was the {3-Hearts} and Sexton is out.

Kings Up for DeWitt

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Mike Sexton limped in and Jeff Madsen completed from the small blind as Jason DeWitt checked his option.

The flop of {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{7-Hearts} saw Madsen lead out for 17,000 with both DeWitt and Sexton calling before all three players checked the {9-Diamonds} and {K-Hearts} on the turn and river.

DeWitt tabled his {K-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for top two pair and collected the pot.
