Adams Eliminates Olisar
Level 8
: 250/500, 50 ante
We missed how the preflop action went down, but we do know it resulted in Ryan Olisar getting his stack of 25,000 in against Tim Adams.
Adams: 
Olisar: 
"You're good," Olisar said with a sigh. The board ran out a dry 
and that was all she wrote for Olisar.

Pateychuk's Triple Crown Wait Continues
Level 8
: 250/500, 50 ante
Russia's Andrey Pateychuk has exited the tournament, which means his wait to complete poker's Triple Crown continues.
Pateychuk won the EPT San Remo Main Event, the WPT Prague Main Event and came close to winning the WSOP Main Event in 2011 where he finished in 15th place. He's regarded as one of the best Russian poker players out there, so his exit will be pleasing for his former tablemates, that is for sure.

Bernabeu Busts the Poker Brat
Level 8
: 250/500, 50 ante
Phil Hellmuth's former seat had a new occupant, which suggested the "Poker Brat" had been eliminated. We checked with Jeff Gross, who had been seated to Hellmuth's left, and he said that Hellmuth had indeed been eliminated.
As he explained, it happened in a very interesting hand when Samuel Bernabeu opened for 1,025 and Hellmuth three-bet to approximately 3,000. Bernabeu held 
and opted to flat. Bernabeu then check-called a bet of 3,500 on the 
flop before both players checked the 
turn.
When a 
appeared on the river, Bernabeu simply moved all in. Hellmuth couldn't seem to believe it, double checked his cards and then called off his last 7,000 or so with . Unfortunately for him, his rivered set was no good and he was sent out the door.

The Dragon Eats Glantz's Stack
Level 8
: 250/500, 50 ante
Matt Glantz raised from under the gun and was called by David Pham on the button and the player in the big blind. Glantz continued with a 1,400 bet when it was checked to him on the 
flop and both of his opponents called.
The 
was the turn card, the big blind checked, Glantz bet 3,600 only to see Pham raise to 11,000. The big blind instantly folded, Glantz jammed all-in and Pham snapped him off.
Glantz: 
Pham: 
A flopped set for Pham left Glantz drawing to the two remaining aces. Neither of those aces appeared on the river. Instead, it was the 
, and Glantz bowed out to the man they call "The Dragon".

"Not 'Chainsaw' Approved"
Level 8
: 250/500, 50 ante
We saw Liv Boeree over at Table 10 talking to her significant other, Igor Kurganov, which led us to believe that she had been eliminated from the tournament. A quick check with Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler, who had been at her table, confirmed her demise.
As he told it, Boeree moved all in under the gun for her last 6,875, a move he was highly critical of. "When you go all in under the gun with deuces, no matter what calls you, you're never ahead," he explained.
He then informed us that Benjamin Pollak had called her with 
and a king hit the flop.
"Not 'Chainsaw' approved," Kessler said, shaking his head.

Ramage on a Rampage
Level 8
: 250/500, 50 ante
A short-stacked player got his last 5,000 all in preflop and found himself up against Grayson Ramage, who has been building an impressive stack throughout the day.
Ramage: 
Opponent: 
It was a flip, but Ramage stayed in the lead through the 
flop. The 
turn put out some counterfeit possibilities, but the harmless 
river gave Ramage the pot.
