Phil Laak Eliminated in 19th Place ($3,586)

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 700 ante
Phil Laak - 19th place
Phil Laak - 19th place

Catching the action on fifth street we found Phil Laak betting out 6,000 with Eric Buchman calling. Laak then bet sixth and Buchman called before Laak led out for 6,000 on seventh leaving himself just 1,200 behind.

Laak: {X-}{X-} / {J-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} / {X-}
Buchman: {X-}{X-} / {4-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{J-Spades} / {X-}

Buchman announced raise and Laak went into the tank deliberating whether or not to call all-in.

Eventually Laak tossed in the last of his chips tabling his {10-Clubs}{10-Spades} / {2-Clubs}, but it would be Buchman's {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} that would scoop the pot and send Laak to the rail.

Kenney Doubles

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 700 ante

Bryn Kenney completed and Phil Laak raised before Eric Buchman made it three bets to go. Kenney called but Laak folded as Kenney called a bet on fourth. Buchman bet fifth and Kenney raised with Buchman calling and then leading sixth. Kenney raised again and Buchman three-bet as Kenney was all in for his last 17,300.

Kenney: {7-Spades}{5-Spades} / {6-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}
Buchman: {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} / {A-Spades}{3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

Kenney found the {J-Diamonds} on the river as Buchman found the {7-Diamonds} and slipped to 120,000 as Kenney doubled through to 95,000 in chips.

Robert Turner Eliminated in 20th Place ($3,586)

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 700 ante
Robert "Chip Burner" Turner - 20th Place
Robert "Chip Burner" Turner - 20th Place

Robert Turner completed with his short stack, and Alex Kravchenko raised with {k-Clubs}, knocking everyone else out. Turner put all of his chips in.

Turner: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}/{q-Clubs}
Kravchenko: {k-Spades}{9-Diamonds}/{k-Clubs}

Both caught good on fourth with Turner getting the {q-Spades} to pair up and make a three-flush, while Kravchenko got the {9-Clubs} for two pair. Unfortunately for "Chip Burner", that was all the help he would get as the rest of his cards were {7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{8-Spades}, not enough to catch Kravchenko's kings up.

Negreanu Misses, Kravchenko Climbs

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 700 ante

Daniel Negreanu had the bring-in and Alex Kravchenko completed with Negreanu making the call before he raised on fourth after Kravchenko bet. Kravchenko called, and then bet fifth with Negreanu raising again and Kravchenko calling. Both players checked sixth and seventh as each player's board read as follows:

Negreanu: {X-}{X-} / {5-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{9-Spades}{J-Clubs} / {X-}
Kravchenko: {X-}{X-} / {10-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades} / {X-}

Negreanu tabled his {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts} / {A-Clubs} for a busted straight flush draw and a pair while Kravchenko tabled his {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} / {2-Spades} for a full house to scoop the pot.

Diano: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}/{8-Hearts}
Negreanu: {j-Clubs}{7-}/{j-Diamonds}

Negreanu caught a third jack and then filled up, and Diano found no help on his {q-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades}{x-} run out.
