Nicholas Aranda
Nicholas Aranda

A short-stacked Nicholas Aranda raised for most of his stack and had 70,000 behind. Henri Koivisto called out of the big blind and moved all in after the {J-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop. Aranda called it off with the {K-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Spades} and Koivisto turned over the {J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. The {10-Hearts} turn and {9-Clubs} river gave Koivisto a straight and Aranda was eliminated in 19th place for $28,502.

Kozlov Doubles; Ingram Too

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Martin Kozlov doubled through Ryan Hughes after both clashed in a battle under the gun versus big blind. Kozlov ended up with two pair on a flop of {Q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades} with his {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{7-Spades} while Hughes had the {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. The {9-Spades} turn gave Hughes inferior two pair and the {6-Clubs} river was a blank.

At almost the same time one table over, Joey Ingram doubled after turning a full house, nines over fours, to remain in contention.

Shack-Harris Builds Stack

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Brandon Shack-Harris raised from early position and was called by Rep Porter in the big blind. On the {A-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop, Porter check-called a bet of 60,000 and the {5-Hearts} turn was checked through. On the {3-Diamonds} river, Porter bet 160,000 and Shack-Harris called. While repping a flush, Porter only had six-five for two pair and Shack-Harris had that beat with {7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades}.

Mack Lee Eliminated in 20th Place ($28,502)

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
Mack Lee
Mack Lee

The cards were already on their backs and the dealer was pushing the pot to Richard Gryko when we got to the table. The players informed us that all the chips had gone in on the {8-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Spades} flop with Gryko holding {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{X-}{X-} and Mack Lee holding {J-Spades}{10-Spades}{X-}{X-}. The {Q-Diamonds} turn missed both players entirely, the river was also a blank, and Gryko took the pot to end Lee's run in this event.

Leah Takes It on the Flop

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Jerry Wong limped in on the button and Mike Leah in the small blind raised the pot. Wong called and the duo headed to a flop of {K-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and Leah bet the pot. Wong had around 450,000 behind and folded, and Leah showed his cards with a big smile on the face. It was {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for top pair and the nut flush draw, as well as back door diamond draw.

Matt Giannetti Eliminated in 21st Place ($28,502)

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
Matt Giannetti
Matt Giannetti

After a raise by Ryan Hughes, Matt Giannetti three-bet out of the big blind and had 170,000 behind heading to the {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Spades} flop. Giannetti moved all in and Hughes called right away.

Matt Giannetti: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Ryan Hughes: {A-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}

Giannetti needed running cards to improve to a full house, as Hughes had flopped the nut flush, and it was all over after the {6-Diamonds} turn, making the {3-Clubs} river a formality. Giannetti was eliminated in 21st place and takes home $28,502.

LaDarren Banks

William Kopp defended his big blind against a raise by LaDarren Banks and check-raised the flop of {Q-Spades}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. Banks called all in and the cards were turned over.

LaDarren Banks: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
William Kopp: {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

Kopp had a double gutshot and an eight and jack as outs, and immediately improved with the {J-Hearts} turn, the {2-Spades} river was a blank and Banks was eliminated in 22nd place for $28,502.

Tim Marsters Eliminated in 23rd Place ($28,502)

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
Tim Marsters
Tim Marsters

Loren Klein opened from early position, Tim Marsters three-bet shoved from the button for 250,000, and Klein called to put Marsters at risk.

"Aces," announced Marsters.

"Not aces," replied Klein with a smile.

Loren Klein: {8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Tim Marsters: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

Marsters had the preflop edge and Klein needed to improve in order to stack him. Although Marsters retained his lead on the {K-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop and improved to a set on the {A-Hearts} turn, the {10-Hearts} river gave Klein the winning flush, so he took the pot to send Marsters to the cage.
