Parenti Doubles Up

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

Sitting in early position, Nathaniel Parenti pushed all in and the action folded to Steven Levy with the button. After sizing up how much the shove was for, Levy pushed all in over the top and just the two of them went to a race.

Parenti: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Levy: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

The flop came down {j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} to add a diamond draw for security, taking away an ace and a king from Levy's outs. The turn was the {q-Diamonds} to complete the flush, and the river was the {a-Hearts}. Parenti secured the double up with his {8-Diamonds} contributing to the flush.

Mark Allen Eliminated in 24th Place ($50,202)

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante
Mark Allen - 24th place
Mark Allen - 24th place

Joseph McKeehen opened the cutoff to 240,000 and Mathew Frankland called from the button before Mark Allen moved all in for 720,000 from the small blind. Zachary Gruneberg made the call from the big as both McKeehen and Frankland folded.

Allen: {A-Spades}{5-Spades}
Gruneberg: {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

With Allen in dominated shape, the {Q-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Hearts} board would ensure his elimination in 24th place as Gruneberg climbed to roughly 10.6 million in chips.

Mark Peckham Doubles Through Robert Gustafsson

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

Robert Gustafsson opened to 250,000 in middle position and Mark Peckham three-bet shoved for 935,000 from the hijack. Action folded back to Gustafsson who called with {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, leading Peckham's {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}.

However, the board ran out {A-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{6-Spades}, giving Peckham a pair of aces to double up.

Beaumont Bowls Them Over

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

Lynn Beaumont kicked off the action with a raise to 250,000 from the hijack seat and Austin Bursavich called from the cutoff as well as Thayer Rasmussen in the big blind.

The dealer flipped over {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}{j-Hearts} for the flop and the players checked to Bursavich. He bet out 415,000 and both of his opponents made the call to go to a turn of {5-Diamonds}.

Once again, the action was checked to Bursavich who bet 980,000 this time. Rasmussen had had enough and threw away his hand, but Beaumont still saw something she liked and made the call.

The river card was the {5-Hearts} and Beaumont checked again. Bursavich said "I'm all in," with his stack easily covering Beaumont's. She took only a couple of moments to decide to call, risking her tournament life. She showed {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} for two pairs — aces and the fives on the board. Bursavich showed {3-Clubs}{3-Spades} for an underpair to go with the fives, and he shook is head in disbelief at the absurd amount of chips he had lost in a single hand.

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante
Kevin Danko - 23rd Place
Kevin Danko - 23rd Place

A preflop raising war ended with Kevin Danko all in for 3,980,000 and Bobby Byram having him barely covered with 4,125,000.

Danko: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Byram: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

This was the second time in the last two levels that Byram found himself on the better side of poker's sickest cooler. The dealer fanned out a board of {2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and Danko was led to the payout desk.

Paul Mattioda - 22nd Place
Paul Mattioda - 22nd Place

Jason Leifer raised to 240,000 from under the gun, Paul Mattioda three-bet shoved from the cutoff for about 1.46 million and Mat Frankland called from the small blind. Leifer gave it some thought before he folded.

Mattioda: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Frankland: {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

The board ran out {K-Spades}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{9-Spades}{3-Clubs}, no help to Mattioda, giving Frankland the pot.
