Team Gardner Eliminated, Team Lamphere Above One Million

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

The flop read {9-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and Team Gardner was all in and at risk from early position as they had been called by Team Lamphere in the big blind.

Team Gardner: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Team Lamphere: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}

They had both flopped a set with Team Lamphere holding the higher set with the jacks.

The rest of the board was completed with the {8-Spades} on the turn and the {6-Diamonds} on the river to complete the board but not provide any help to Team Gardner, and they were eliminated in 24th place.

Team Simpson Doubles Through Team Levy

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Team Lamphere opened the action with a raise to 22,000 from under the gun, and Team Levy called in the small blind. In the big blind, Team Simpson decided to three-bet. Team Lamphere folded, and Team Levy went all in and was called.

Team Levy: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Team Simpson: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

Board: {7-Hearts}{2-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{5-Spades}

"No! Quads!" exclaimed Team Lamphere, who seemingly folded pocket sevens preflop.

But it was Team Simpson that held to win the pot with pocket jacks and moved up to 520,000.

Level 22 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Team Gangloff shoved all in for their last 30,000 or so from the under-the-gun position and action folded all the way to Team Clarke in the big blind who asked how much it was for. Before the dealer could even count Team Gangloff's stack, Team Clarke already made the call.

Team Gangloff: {A-Clubs}{7-Spades}
Team Clarke: {K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

The board ran out {k-Spades}{2-Clubs}{j-Spades}{6-Clubs}{j-Hearts} to give Team Clarke a pair of kings on the flop and improve to two pair on the river to eliminate Team Gangloff in 23rd place.
