AntreVolt Eliminated in 13th Place

Within two hands the entire stack of "AntreVolt" has vanished and they had to settle for 13th place and a payday of $126,773.

First up they lost most of their chips with {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades} against the {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} of ChickenBBQ" in a preflop all in when the board ran out {k-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades}{7-Diamonds}.

One hand later, "AntreVolt" jammed from under the gun for the last few blinds and were called by Christian Rudolph in the big blind.

"AntreVolt": {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Christian Rudolph: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Rudolph flopped top pair and the open-ender on {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and remained in the lead on the {6-Clubs} turn and {10-Clubs} river.

John "Hamburger!" Thrower Eliminated in 11th Place ($126,773)

Level 34 : 50,000/100,000, 12,500 ante

John "Hamburger!" Thrower raised to 200,000 from the cutoff and was called by Jason Koon in the big blind. The flop brought {8-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and Koon went for the check-raise from 157,500 to 493,500. Thrower moved all in for 1,679,420 total and Koon made the call.

John "Hamburger!" Thrower: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Jason Koon: {j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

Koon's top pair was in dire shape and things got worse on the {4-Spades} turn, as he now needed one of the two remaining eights in the deck. Sure enough, however, the {8-Clubs} appeared on the river and Thrower was eliminated in 11th place for $126,773.

Ponakovs Gets Through With a Jam

Level 34 : 50,000/100,000, 12,500 ante

The action started with a min-raise to 200,000 by Shankar "Saquon" Pillai from under the gun and Jack Salter, fresh off his double up, three-bet to 580,000 from one seat over. Out of the big blind, Aleksejs Ponakovs four-bet jammed for 2,249,276.

What followed was a quick fold by Pillai and Salter needed some consideration to come to the same conclusion.
