Chad Holloway

Action folded around to Aaron Jones on the button and he moved all in for 32,800. The small blind folded and then Jason Wheeler asked for a count before spiking in a call.

Wheeler:
Jones:

It was a flip and Wheeler was looking to hold. When the flop fel and Jones paired his ace, the tables were turned on Wheeler and he was the one looking to hit. The turn gave Jones trips, but it didn't change the fact that Wheeler needed a six to eliminate his opponent. The dealer burned one more time and put out the . Wheeler missed and Jones doubled through.

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Wow. Wow. Wow.

We just saw what can only be described as a world class call by Joao Dornelesneto to give him the chip lead as we approach the final 100 players in this event. The table caught our attention when we saw at least 120,000 already in the middle on a board that showed . Dornelesneto's opponent moved all in for the rest of his 110,000, which put Dornelesneto and his stack of 72,700 to the test. Dornelesneto thought for quite some time, and eventually, he announced "I call."

His opponent said "Nice call. Queen high." Dornelesneto rolled over just for ace high and maybe of the players at the table gasped in awe at the sight of his hand, before congratulating him on such a sick call. His opponent's cards had to be tabled, , and he too had nothing but praises for Dornelesneto , saying "good call man." After taking down that ginormous pot, Dornelesneto is our new chip leader, with 280,000!

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Ali Eslami for roughly 13,000, leaving himself just 100 behind, only to have Frank Op de Woerd three-bet all in over the top for 33,000. Joe Elpayaa, who had both of them covered, then announced that he was all in himself. The rest of the field folded and Eslami called off his last 100.

Eslami:
Op de Woerd:
Elpayaa:

Eslami joked a bit about the bad spot he was in while Op de Woerd, who held two overs to Elpayaa's queens, rose from his chair. The flop kept Elpayaa in the lead, and the turn firmed up his position. However, while Eslami was drawing dead, Op de Woerd picked up the nut-flush draw. Unfortunately for the man from the Netherlands, the blanked on the river and his deep run came to an end.

Eslami became the 133rd-place finisher while Op de Woerd took 132nd.

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Ryan Beckwith, a well-respected player from the Wisconsin poker scene, got his stack of 32,800 all in from the cutoff holding the and was up against Andrew McNamee, who held the in the big blind. Beckwith got it in good and was a favorite to double, especially when the flop failed to deliver McNamee any help.

Much to Beckwith's dismay, the dealer burned and turned the to give McNamee the lead with a pair of aces. Beckwith needed the case queen to stay alive, but it wasn't meant to be as the useless peeled off on the river.

"We got it in good," Beckwith said solemnly before making his way to the payout desk in 139th place.

Meanwhile, World Series of Poker Circuit regular Brett Schwertley has also been eliminated from the tournament.
