Jeremy Halaska Eliminated in 21st Place ($50,614)

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Jeremy Halaska
Jeremy Halaska

Sitting on only 170,000 chips, Jeremy Halaska had to make a move, and he pushed his stack in from the under-the-gun-plus-one position. Matthew Livingston made the call in the big blind and turned over {Q-Spades}{8-Spades} against Halaska's {A-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. The board ran out {7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and Livingston made the top pair to bust Halaska from the tournament in 21st.

Bart Lybaert Eliminated in 20th Place ($50,614)

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Bart Lybaert
Bart Lybaert

In what is easily the biggest pot of the tournament, Bart Lybaert has been eliminated in 20th place and Andrew Dick has added to his chip lead and is now sitting with 8.575 million in chips. As told to us by Dick, it all started when Lybaert opened for the minimum and Dick called out of the big blind.

The flop came {K-Spades}{5-}{4-Spades} and Dick checked. Lybaert made a bet and Dick check-raised. Lybaert called.

The turn was the {6-Spades} and Dick check-raised again. Lybaert again called.

The river was the {10-Diamonds} and this time Dick moved all in. Lybaert made the call with {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades} but it was no good as Dick had {7-Spades}{3-Spades} for a flush. Lybaert is eliminated in 20th place and Dick sits with over four million chips than the next player on the leader board.

Floor Threatens Sembera with Penalty

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Larry Samet raised from the cutoff and action was on Michael Sembera, who had only about 11 big blinds left in the big blind. He tanked and tanked, and Maurice Hawkins finally called a clock shortly after saying he didn't want to be the guy who called the clock.

The floor began the 10 second countdown after almost a minute had passed, and Sembera pushed all in, taking down the pot when Samet folded.

After the hand, Sembera admitted he had known he was shoving and was simply stalling in hopes of a player busting at another table. The tournament supervisor overheard this, and he informed Sembera he would receive only a 10-second clock in the future, as well as a penalty, if it happened again.

Dick Loses Some But Gets it Back

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Andrew Dick had seen about two million chips disappear from his stack but he recently got them back from one time chip leader Jonathan Dimmig and is creeping close to the nine million chip mark. Dimmig opened the action for 105,000 and Dick raised it up to 225,000. Dimmig said "how much you playing" and cracked a smile, as everyone at the table knew Dick had the chip lead. "Someone had to do that joke," Dimmig said as he made the call.

The flop came {J-Spades}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Dick led out for 150,000 and was called by Dimmig. The turn was the {7-Clubs} and Dick bet again, this time for 400,000. Dimmig raised it to 800,000 and Dick didn't waste much time before making the call. The river was the {3-Diamonds} and Dick checked. Dimmig bet 800,000 and Dick quickly called. Dimmig turned over air... {K-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. Dick had a legitimate hand {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for a flopped set.

Larry Samet Eliminated in 19th Place ($50,614)

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Larry Samet
Larry Samet

Patrick Chan shipped all in under the gun, and Larry Samet shoved for less after Maurice Hawkins folded. Everyone else mucked.

Chan: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Samet: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

"That's not what I wanted to see," Samet said.

Probably also what he didn't want to hear: Hawkins said he mucked king-queen as well.

No help arrived on the {10-Spades}{5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{k-Spades} community, and the final 18 runners are redrawing.

Christopher Keller - 18th Place
Christopher Keller - 18th Place

Micheal Stembera moved all in for his last 680,000 and it was folded to Christopher Keller in the big blind who made the call. Stembera had {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and Keller {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. The flop and turn were good for Keller as it came {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and only a jack or king would save Stembera from being eliminated. The river was the {K-Spades} and Stembera scored the double up and Keller was left with 140,000.

Those chips would go all in the next hand and Keller's {5-Diamonds}{4-Spades} would fall to Jason Johnson's {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs} when a king would flop.
