David Peters and Daniel Buzgon went heads up to the {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop. Peters checked to Buzgon who bet 27,000 into a main pot of about 100,000. With the action back on Peters he moved all-in for 141,000.

Buzgon snap called turning over his {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} but Peters showed {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for trip eights. The turn {k-Diamonds} and river {k-Clubs} improved Peters to eights full of kings and he doubled his stack.

Edan Sucov Eliminated in 26th Place ($15,051)

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Edan Sucov
Edan Sucov

Andrew Brokos raised from early position and Edan Sucov moved all-in for 355,000. It folded back to Brokos who called and the hands were shown.

Andrew Brokos: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Edan Sucov: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

The dealer spread the {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop and Brokos improved to top set to move well ahead in the hand. Sucov needed the gutshot queen or runner runner hearts to survive, but the turn brought the {3-Diamonds} giving Brokos a full house leaving Sucov drawing dead. The meaningless {3-Hearts} hit the river and Sucov was sent to the rail in 26th place taking home $15,051 for his efforts.

Daniel Buzgon
Daniel Buzgon

Jeff Hakim raised to 35,000 from under the gun and it folded to Daniel Buzgon in the small blind. Buzgon moved all in for just over 400,000 and Michael Marder folded his big blind.

With the action back on Hakim he snap called turning over {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} and Buzgon saw the bad news as he tabled his {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. The board ran out {k-Spades}{10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and Buzgon wished the table good luck as he made his way to the payout line.

Buzgon is the 25th place Event #43: $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em finisher and will earn $15,051 for his efforts.

Rann Takes From Brokos

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
James Rann
James Rann

The pot was limped by Andrew Brokos in the small blind and James Rann checked in the big.

On the {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop, Brokos bet 20,000, which Rann called. It was a similar story on the {3-Hearts} turn, except that the bet was 60,000 and Rann called that too.

The river brought out an {8-Hearts} and Brokos set Rann all-in and again, Rann called the 210,000 and they turned over their cards.

James Rann: {j-Spades}{3-Clubs}
Andrew Brokos: {q-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Brokos' top pair wasn't good enough to beat Rann's two pair and Rann got the double.

Pavlo Veksler
Pavlo Veksler

Pavlo Veksler moved all-in for his last 200,000 from the small blind over the button open of Timur Margolin. The big blind folded and Margolin called.

Timur Margolin: {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Pavlo Veksler: {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

"I'm pretty good at winning these" joked Margolin and they wished each other good luck. The dealer fanned the {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop and it was no help to Veksler. The turn brought {k-Diamonds} and the {3-Diamonds} completed the board.

James Rann Eliminated in 23rd place ($15,051)

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
James Rann
James Rann

James Rann couldn't have got it in better preflop. After Andrew Brokos opened to 45,000 on the cutoff, James Rann three-bet to 115,000. Andre Haneberg was in the small blind and after a brief time in the tank, he cold four-bet shoved. Brokos moved aside and it was a snap from Rann.

James Rann: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Andre Haneberg: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

Rann was the massive favorite at this point but the {k-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop changed that, bringing out a flush draw for Haneberg. The {9-Hearts} kept Rann ahead but the {10-Spades} river brought the flush and the chips to Haneberg, who winced on Rann's behalf.
