Malherbe Crippled; then Eliminated

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Jean-Yves Malherbe
Jean-Yves Malherbe

The action folded around to Steven McKoy, who opened to 50,000 from the hijack. Patrick Renkers then raised it up to 120,000 from the button, before Jean-Yves Malherbe moved all in for 780,000 from the big blind. McKoy folded his hand, before Renkers snap called the bet, for 11,000 less.

Renkers: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Malherbe: {A-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} to see Renkers win the hand with his king kicker.

In the very next hand, Malherbe was all in on the small blind for 8,000. The table folded back around to him, before he tabled his {3-Hearts}{9-Spades}. Leonardo Moura was on the big blind, and he peeled the {a-Hearts}, before revealing the {a-Clubs} as well.

The pocket aces of Moura would hold, as the board ran out {7-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{8-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} to see Malherbe eliminated from the tournament.

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Adeeb Harb raised to 40,000, and Alexander Livingston made 130,000 to play. Harb responded by pushing all in for 835,000, and Livingston called. Livingston held {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}, and he was ahead of Harb's {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. The flop was {9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{4-Clubs}, missing both players. Then the {q-Hearts} gave Livingston a set on the turn, and Harb was drawing dead. The river was a meaningless {k-Spades}, and Harb was eliminated.

Heath Finds a Much-Needed Double

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Eli Heath moved all in for 151,000 in middle position, and Mikolaj Zawadzki re-shoved for around 400,000 near the button. The rest of the players folded.

Heath: {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Zawadzki: {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Zawadzki remained ahead on a flop of {q-Clubs}{3-Spades}{5-Spades}, but the {k-Hearts} turned, giving Heath a pair of kings. The {2-Clubs} completed the board, and Heath doubled through.

Annette Ascends to 2.65 Million

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Annette Obrestad
Annette Obrestad

Sergio Castelluccio min-raised to 40,000 from middle position, Annette Obrestad three-bet to 110,000 from late position, and Castelluccio called to see a flop of {K-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. Castelluccio checked, Obrestad bet 130,000, and Castelluccio called. He checked again on the {4-Diamonds} turn, and Obrestad meticulously cut out 275,00 from her stack and placed it in the pot. Castelluccio stared her down for a couple minutes before matching her bet, and suddenly there was more than a million in the pot.

The river was the {Q-Diamonds} and once again Castelluccio checked. Obrestad pushed out a stack of green T25,000 chips from her stack, totaling 500,000. Castelluccio sat in the tank for another two minutes, and this time gave it up. Obrestad now sits at 2.65 million and has climbed back into the top 10.

Jonathan Jaffe Doubles to Almost Three Million

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Jonathan Jaffe
Jonathan Jaffe

Jonathan Jaffe raised to 45,000 from under the gun +1. Yi Fang, who had literally just sat down for his first hand at the Mothership, reraised to 70,000 from the hijack. It folded back to Jaffe, and he thought for a while before reraising to 240,000. Fang tossed in the call, and the flop came {q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. Jaffe led right out for 300,000, and Fang quickly moved all in. Jaffe called even quicker, and in a flash, the pot had ballooned to over 2.8 million.

Jaffe: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}
Fang: {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Fang stood up and immediately started chanting for a queen. A ten would also have done it for him against Jaffe's overpair, and while he didn't hit either on the turn, he did pick up a few more outs with the {J-Diamonds}. Fang started chanting "Queen, ten, nine. Queen, ten, nine!" Jaffe couldn't help but laugh despite the tension of the moment, and said "I hope that if I bust that you win the tournament." The 2.8 million chip river card was the {5-Hearts}, and Jaffe scored a massive double up, while Fang tumbled down to just 504,000.

The Man Who Has "Never Gotten Lucky" Gets Lucky

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Ronnie Bardah
Ronnie Bardah

From middle position, Ronnie Bardah raised all in for 196,000. In the small blind, Erkut Yilmaz called. Bardah showed the {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}, but was behind the {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}.

Bardah stood from his chair as the cameras rolled and said, "I never get lucky in the World Series of Poker. In four years, I've never gotten lucky in this tournament. If I get lucky, I'll shut up."

The flop came down {K-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and Yilmaz kept his lead. The turn was the {6-Diamonds} to vault Bardah in front with a set and you could see the excitement shoot through his body. The river was the {9-Spades} and Bardah had doubled up.

"I'll shut up now," he finished as he sat back down to stack up his chips.

"We don't want you to do that," said one of the ESPN producers.

Nuter Gets the Nuts

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

The action folded around to James Rubenstein on the small blind, who moved all in for around 200,000 in chips. He was snap called by Timothy Nuter, before both players tabled their cards.

Rubenstein: {k-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
Nuter: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Rubenstein took the lead, when the flop came {8-Spades}{k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. However, the {j-Clubs} fell on the turn, giving Nuter the straight, leaving Rubenstein drawing dead. He slammed his hand on the table, before stepping back from the table, knocking over his chair. He quickly apologised, as the meaningless {k-Spades} completed the board.

The {8-Diamonds} completed the board, and Klein was eliminated. Alexander now has over three million chips.
