"Alright Gents, Have a Good Day"

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

After the player in the hijack opened with a raise, a short-stacked Chance Kornuth moved all in from the button for 9,300. James Mackey then three-bet all in over the top from the small blind for 19,600, the big blind folded, and the original raiser got out of the way.

Kornuth: {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Mackey: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Kornuth was in bad shape and looking for some help, but he found none on the {8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop. The {A-Spades} turn paired Mackey, and that left Kornuth drawing dead.

"Alright gents, have a good day," Kornuth said as the dealer put out the {4-Hearts} on the river to make his elimination official.

Meanwhile, Justin Bonomo was eliminated over at Table 1 in unknown action.

Madsen Soars to 100K

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Jeff Madsen shot to fame in 2006 when he won not one but two bracelets at the World Series of Poker. He won his third piece of poker jewellery in 2013 when he took down the $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha tournament and is setting himself up for a shot at a fourth bracelet by accumulating a stack of 100,000 as this tournament heads towards its final level of play.

Juanda vs. Ramage

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

John Juanda opened for 850 and cleared the field all the way around to Grayson Ramage, who opted to call from the big blind. Ramage proceeded to check-call bets of 1,350 and 2,750 on the {3-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} flop and {A-Spades} turn respectively, and then checked for a third time on the {3-Hearts} river.

Juanda thought for a few moments before betting 4,350, and Ramage thought equally as long before making the call.

"I have an ace," Juanda said before tabling the {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. It was good as Ramage simply sent his cards to the muck.

Meanwhile, Jeff Gross has been eliminated from the tournament.

King Ostrander

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

The preflop action escaped us, but we do know Greg Ostrander got his stack of 22,975 all in preflop against David Fhima, who was sitting on a pretty big stack of his own.

Ostrander: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Fhima: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}

Ostrander was well out in front, and that's just where he stayed as the board ran out a harmless {j-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}.

Kanit Loves the Dealer

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Mustapha Kanit raised from the cutoff and quickly called when Igor Kurganov three-bet from the small blind.

The talented duo looked on as the {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{K-Diamonds} flop came into view - a flop that both players checked. The {7-Hearts} saw Kurganov lead for 4,400 and Kanit called. Kurganov fired a 12,500 bet at Kanit on the {K-Hearts} river and Kanit quickly called.

Kanit: {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Kurganov: {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}

Kurganov had a busted straight and Kanit a hand-winning full house, but the dealer took a couple of seconds to process what was in front of her.

"Chop it up," joked Kurganov.

"Give me the money," exclaimed Kanit before adding an "I love you" to the dealer.
