Dmitrii Valouev Eliminated in 7th Place ($31,278)

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 0 ante
Dmitrii Valouev
Dmitrii Valouev

Hand #115: Matthew Dames raised pot size to 140,000 from the button and Dmitrii Valouev called all in for 105,000 from the big blind.

Dames: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{J-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Valouev: {2-Hearts}{2-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades}

"Hold one time," Valouev said with a grin on the face and pointed to his pair of deuces, followed by the laughter of all opponents.

The {10-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{10-Spades} flop killed almost all hope for yet another double up as Valouev now needed running deuces to stay alive. It was all over after the {8-Spades} turn and the {4-Hearts} river completed the board. For his 7th place finish, Valouev will receive $31,278.

Kevin Saul Eliminated in 8th Place ($24,111)

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
Kevin Saul
Kevin Saul

Hand #92: Millard Hale opened for a pot sized raise of 105,000 and Kevin Saul made the call from the big blind. The flop came {J-Hearts}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts} and Saul moved the rest of his chips into the middle. Hale made the call and he had Saul slightly covered so it was Saul who was at risk.

Hale: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Saul: {Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

"Ouch," said Saul when he saw Hale's hand, knowing he was in bad shape. The turn was the {4-Hearts} giving Hale a flush and Saul was drawing dead. The river was the {3-Hearts} and Kevin Saul was eliminated in 8th place and Millard Hale survived a key hand to move his stack up to 450,000 in chips.

Hands #90-91: Nassif Doubles Up

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Hand #90: Brandon Paster opened to 70,000 and Gabriel Nassif re-raised to 240,000 from the small blind. Paster made the call and the flop came {7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and Nassif bet all in for a total of 290,000. Paster made the call and the hands were turned over:

Paster: {Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}
Nassif: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades}

Nassif was ahead with his aces but Paster had plenty of ways to improve his hand. The turn was the {A-Hearts} giving Nassif a set of aces and Paster would need to hit a four or an eight to knock Nassif out. The river was the {J-Clubs} and Nassif scored a huge double up and inched closer to the chip lead that Paster held.

Hand #91: Paster opened to 65,000 and Matt Humphrey re-raised to 225,000 from the small blind leaving himself 75,000 behind. Paster folded.
