Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Sergey Babayan
Sergey Babayan

Jesse Odenheimer raised to 90,000 from early position and he was called by Isaac Hanson from middle position. Sergey Babayan called from late position and Jesse Kertland called from the big blind.

The flop fell {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Spades} and that's where all the money got in. It checked to Hanson who took over the betting initiative with a bet of 225,000 and Babayan went over the top when he pushed about a million in the middle. The others got out of the way but Hanson called.

Sergey Babayan: {10-}{10-}
Isaac Hanson: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

The board ran out with the {a-Clubs} turn and the {8-Spades} river and that was the end of Babayan's run in the Casino Employees Event. He finished in 17th place cashing for $2,074.

Jesse Odenheimer
Jesse Odenheimer

Travis Williams raised to 85,000 from middle position, then called a three-bet shove for 370,000 from Jesse Odenheimer in the big blind.

Jesse Odenheimer: {a-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
Travis Williams: {q-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Odenheimer seemed surprised by Odenheimer's call, and he was shaking his head after the {j-Spades}{3-Spades}{9-Spades} flop brought a plethora of outs for Williams. Odenheimer survived on the {5-Diamonds} turn, but Williams hit the {10-Hearts} river to end Odeheimer's run.

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Darrin Phillips
Darrin Phillips

The board read {5-Spades}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{j-Hearts} when Darrin Phillips bet 175,000 from the big blind. Christopher Bowen sat in the cutoff and he called the bet.

The {j-Spades} river completed the board and Phillips immediately moved all in for his last 350,000. There was a snap-call by Bowen who also immediately turned over {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and that was enough to beat Phillips' {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}.

Darrin Phillips was eliminated in 15th place and he cashed for $2,569.

Austin Roberts Eliminated in 14th Place ($2,569)

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Austin Roberts
Austin Roberts

Adam Lamers raised to 130,000 in the small blind, and Austin Roberts called in the big blind.

Both players checked the {10-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop, and Lamers bet 120,000 on the {q-Diamonds} turn. Roberts raised to 340,000, and Lamers tanked for a few minutes before announcing, "All in."

Roberts, who had 460,000 behind, wasted little time calling it off.

Austin Roberts: {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Adam Lamers: {k-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

A cruel turn for Roberts, as his top two pair were crushed by the king-high straight of Lamers. The {a-Clubs} river failed to bring Roberts a full house, and Lamers scored the KO.

it folded to Justin Wong on the button and he had 440,000 in front of him which is just under nine big blinds. He put his entire stack in the middle and small blind Nicholas Haynes called to put him at risk of elimination. Big blind Isaac Hanson folded.

Justin Wong: {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Nicholas Haynes: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

The board fell {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Wong was eliminated after he wasn't able to come back from behind. Haynes raked in the pot while Wong was sent to the cashier to collect $2,569 for his 13th place finish.

Zachary Lee

Adam Lamers raised from the under-the-gun position to 110,000 and Jorge Ruiz sat one seat to Lamers' left when he pushed all in for about 1,750,000. Small blind Zachary Lee called and the big blind and Lamers got out of the way.

Jorge Ruiz: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Zachary Lee: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

The {k-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop gave Lee a ton more outs and so did the {2-Diamonds} turn. The {a-Hearts} on the river wasn't enough for Lee to get in the lead and he was eliminated in 12th place for $3,241.

Cosmo Andoloro Eliminated in 11th Place ($3,241)

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Cosmo Andoloro
Cosmo Andoloro

Cosmo Andoloro jammed for 960,000 on the button, and Nicholas Haynes called off his last 845,000 in the big blind.

Nicholas Haynes: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Cosmo Andoloro: {k-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}

Andoloro ran smack into aces, and wouldn't get bailed out on a {5-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} board, shipping a big chunk of his remaining chips to Haynes.

Two hands later, Andoloro jammed for his last 115,000 from the hijack, and Jesse Kertland three-bet to 225,000 in the cutoff, chasing off the remaining field.

Cosmo Andoloro: {a-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}
Jesse Kertland: {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

"Chop it up!" Andoloro said, but he would get no love on a {10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades}{6-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} board to bust.
