Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,500 ante

Michael Gathy

Matt Szymaszek open-jammed from the cutoff for 44,500 sparking the craziest hand of the event thus far.

The next player to act was Michael Gathy who also went all in, his stack worth 79,000.

Daniel Ospina flatted from the small blind only to see Brant Hale, after a short time in the tank, also flat from the big blind.

Ospina stood pat, the only one to do so, as the rest of his tablemates drew one. Both Ospina and Hale checked and the hands were tabled.

Daniel Ospina: {10-}{7-}{6-}{5-}{2-}
Brant Hale: {8-}{7-}{6-}{2-}/{a-}
Matt Szymaszek: {9-}{8-}{3-}{2-}/{3-}
Michael Gathy: {9-}{8-}{7-}{5-}/{j-}

Ospina's pat-ten held up to scoop the entire pot sending both Gathy and Szymaszek to the rail. Gathy grabbed the ladder having more chips than Szymaszek.

Deeb Overbets and Gets Paid

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,500 ante
Shaun Deeb
Shaun Deeb

A battle of the two biggest stacks ensued as Shaun Deeb opened to 18,000 from under the gun with Daniel Ospina flatting on the button.

Deeb then drew two cards with Ospina standing pat. After mulling over his options Deeb decided on a very hefty bet of 75,000. Ospina went into the tank for a minute or so but then tossed in the call.

"Ten six," said Deeb, showing {10-}{6-}{5-}{3-}{2-}. Ospina couldn't beat it and the nearly 200,000 chip pot slid in Deeb's direction.

Ray Henson Eliminated in 9th place ($5,420)

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,500 ante
Ray Henson
Ray Henson

Shaun Deeb shoved all-in from the button, Timothy Mcdermott went all in as well for 37,500 and then Ray Henson also committed the remainder of his stack for 70,000. Tim and Ray both drew one and sent Deeb into the tank.

"This is a spot I've never been in," Deeb said as he calculated his decision.

He decided on a pat and showed {J-}{9-}{6-}{5-}{3-} with Mcdermott showing {10-}{9-}{4-}{2-} and Henson rolling over {7-}{6-}{4-}{2-}.

Mcdermott flipped his draw over first breathing a sigh of relief at the {7-}, safe for the moment with ten high but needing Henson to pair for him to stay alive.

Henson then flipped over his draw, a {6-} giving him a pair of sixes to bust.

Deeb earned the side pot from Henson with Mcdermott tripling his stack.

John Bunch Eliminated in 10th Place ($5,420)

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 1,300 ante
John Bunch
John Bunch

John Bunch moved all in before the flop and Ray Henson called off for slightly less.

Henson stood pat tabling a {j-}{9-}{5-}{3-}{2-} with Bunch being live, drawing to a {9-}{7-}{4-}{2-}. Unfortunately, for Bunch, he would pair his seven and was left with just one big blind.

Bunch was forced all in the very next hand out of the big blind and Shaun Deeb finished him off.

Daniel Weinman Eliminated in 11th Place ($5,420)

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 1,300 ante
Daniel Weinman
Daniel Weinman

Daniel Weinman open-jammed for about 80,000 and James Alexander shoved over the top to clear the rest of the table. Each player chose to draw one and their hands were tabled.

Daniel Weinman: {9-}{7-}{4-}{2-}
James Alexander: {8-}{5-}{3-}{2-}

Weinman elected to peel first and got one of the few cards to improve his hand, turning over a {3-}. That left Alexander drawing to a four, six, or seven and as luck would have it, he tabled a {7-} to eliminate Weinman in 11th place.

Devin Looney Eliminated in 12th Place ($4,311)

Daniel Weinman opened from the button to 13,000, Devin Looney three-bet all in from the small blind for 123,000. Daniel Ospina then came over the top and shoved all in as well, putting Weinman to a decision for his entire stack.

Weinman thought for a minute before letting it go. Looney tanked for a couple of minutes before drawing two cards with Ospina patting.

Ospina showed {10-}{8-}{5-}{3-}{2-} with Looney showing {8-}{7-}{5-} the first card he drew was a {J-} leaving him drawing dead and he became the 12th place finisher.

That brought Ospina up to over 480,000 in chips, overtaking Shaun Deeb as the current chip leader.
