Alone at the Feature Table

Level 15 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Haralabos Voulgaris was all in and at risk preflop for 374,000 holding {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}, and was racing against Gus Hansen's {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}. Voulgaris made a flush as the board came {8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, securing a much-needed double up.

Death Card on the River Spells Doom for Lehr

Level 15 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Keith Lehr on Day 1.
Keith Lehr on Day 1.

A short-stacked Keith Lehr moved all in from middle position for 140,000 only to have Brian Hastings isolate with an all-in three-bet. The rest of the players folded and the cards were turned up.

Lehr: {9-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Hastings: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

Hastings was ahead but Lehr was drawing to two live cards. The {5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{k-Clubs} flop actually hit one of those cards and gave Lehr the lead with a pair of eights. The {4-Clubs} turn was no help to Hastings, and all Lehr needed to do was dodge an ace and queen on the river to stay alive. That was easier said than done though as the dealer burned and put out the {A-Spades}. Hastings spiked an ace to win the pot and bounce Lehr from the tournament.

Mueller Plays it "Really Well"

Level 15 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Philip Sternheimer raised to 35,000 from early position, Greg Mueller three-bet to 87,000 on the button, and Sternheimer called. The flop fell {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, both players checked, and the turn was the {5-Clubs}. Sternheimer led out for 84,000, Mueller moved all in for 390,000, and Sternheimer went into the tank.

"Well, Greg," Sternheimer said. "If you have an overpair or a set then you played it really well."

He called, and Mueller turned over {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} for an overpair. Sternheimer showed {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}.

The {q-Hearts} fell on the river to give Mueller a set for kicks and giggles, and when the stacks were counted down, Sternheimer had exactly 390,000 as well.

"I don't get anything back?" Sternhemier said with a grin on his face. "Not even one chip?

Hansen Gets There on the Turn

Level 15 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Action folded to Bill Perkins in the small blind and he raised to 40,000. Gus Hansen took his time before calling from the big and then watched Perkins fire out 35,000 on the {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop. Hansen responded with a raise to 135,000 and Perkins wasted little time in announcing that he was all in.

"I guess I wasn't putting that much in and not calling," Hansen said before haphazardly dropping in his entire stack of 244,000.

Hansen: {5-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Perkins: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

"That's a good turn card for me," Hansen said nonchalantly when the {2-Clubs} peeled off to give him the straight and guaranteed double. Perkins didn't seem too thrilled and it only rubbed salt in the wound when the {10-Clubs} river gave him trips.

"Good luck, guys," Mercier said, leaving the table.

"Jason Koon, cleaning up," Tobias Reinkemeier said, grinning.

"It's easy," Koon started. "When you get kings."

Prior to Mercier's bust, Koon eliminated Kyle Julius:

Patrick Madden - Eliminated
Patrick Madden - Eliminated

Daniel Negreanu opened for a raise in middle position, Patrick Madden moved all in for around 250,000 near the button, and Negreanu called.

"I have a pair," Madden said, showing {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

"Me too," Negreanu responded, showing {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The flop, turn, and river came {10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{k-Clubs}, giving Negreanu Broadway, and Madden was eliminated.
