"BalugaWhale" Poached

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Andrew Seidman got three-outed.
Andrew Seidman got three-outed.

Andrew "BalugaWhale" Seidman shoved all in for about 200,000 after an early-position open Maurice Hawkins. Hawkins made the call.

Hawkins: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Seidman: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

"That's about as good as it's gonna get for me," Seidman said.

"Not when I hit this queen on yo' face," Hawkins said.

"Probably will, you're running white-hot," Seidman said.

The flop was harmless for Seidman, though.

"There it is," Hawkins said, but the dealer burned and turned a {10-}.

"There it is," he said again.

Persistence paid off, as the {q-Hearts} peeled off, ending Seidman's run.

Big Stacks Face Off

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Matthew Livingston and Jonathan Dimmig, two of the larger stacks in the room, are sitting side by side and not shying away from playing big pots against one another. Livingston raised it up to 50,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Dimmig, who called from the small blind. Stephen Graner followed suit in the big blind.

The flop of {8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} was checked around. When the {10-Spades} came, Dimmig bet 86,000 and Graner called. Livingston got out of the way and the river fell {Q-Clubs}. Dimmig bet again, this time to 135,000 and Graner called, showing {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and Dimmig mucked while grumbling about the river.

Andrew Dick Wins Massive Pot to Move Into Lead

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Andrew Dick
Andrew Dick

With nearly half a million already in the pot, the board showed {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and a 250,000 chip bet from Andrew Dick sat in the middle. Bassel Assi called, leaving himself with approximately 800,000. The river was the {3-Hearts} and Dick announced that he was all in. Assi would tank for nearly two minutes before tossing a stack of chips into the middle, indicating a call.

Dick turned over {A-Spades}{10-Spades} for flopped two pair. It was good, as Assi turned over {A-}{K-}. The pot pushed Dick's stack to nearly four million as he moved to the top of the chip counts.

Whittling Down

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Here are some more eliminations as we near the redraw.

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Sean Prendiville lost some chips to Andrew Oh.
Sean Prendiville lost some chips to Andrew Oh.

We found Sean Prendiville counting out 557,000 to send over to Andrew Oh after Oh won a pot with {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} on a final board of {q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. We arrived too late to see Prendiville's hand.

Randall Busts; Down to 4 Tables

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

When action folded around to Charles Randall in the small blind with a tiny stack of about 380,000, he quickly shoved. Jason Johnson peered down at his cards and smirked as he called and flipped up {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}. Randall stood up angrily and flung his cards across the table, one of them landing face down in the dealer's chip tray. When the his cards were recovered, they were revealed to be {J-Clubs}{6-Clubs}.

"I can't believe you woke up with aces," he hollered between various expletives.

The board ran out {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Johnson's rockets held, busting Randall. Their table is now breaking down and there is just four tables left in the tournament.

Dimmig First to Three Million

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Ilkin Amirov was all in pre-flop and up against the much larger stack of Jonathan Dimmig. Amirov held {A-}{7-} and Dimmig {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}. The flop would come {Q-}{x-Diamonds}{x-Diamonds} to give Dimmig a stranglehold on the hand and nothing would change on the turn and river and eliminating Amirov in the process.

Samet Doubles Through Oh

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Andrew Oh opened for 50,000 in the cutoff and got three-bet by Larry Samet in the small blind to 125,000. After getting a count of Samet's remaining stack, Oh made the call. Both players checked the {7-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop and Samet bet 100,000 on the {9-Hearts} turn. As he was sliding the stack out, Oh announced all in and was snapped off.

Samet: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Oh: {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Oh was drawing stone dead, and Samet doubled up.

Livingston Chips Up

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Jonathan Dimmig raised it up to 48,000 in the hijack seat and it folded to Matt Livingston in the small blind who made the call. The flop came down {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and Dimmig continued for another 60,000, which Livingston called. The {10-Spades} on the turn was checked down, and the {2-Spades} on the river got Livingston reaching for chips. He grabbed a handful of greens and place 200,000 in front of him. Dimmig took his time calling, but quickly mucked when Livingston showed {9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for turned two pair.

Keller Doubles Through Moore

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Christopher Keller got it all in preflop with {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} against the {a-Clubs}{j-Spades} of John Moore, who failed to improve on the {6-Spades}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades} community.
