Vayo Flushes Away Two

Level 27 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante
Gordon Vayo
Gordon Vayo

"AshleyMagic" jammed for 82,921 from early position, and Gordon "veilleux" Vayo three-bet shoved for 326,071 in the hijack. Eric "grownstacks" Hayes called off his last 113,764 in the cutoff, and the rest of the field folded.

"AshleyMagic" {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Eric "grownstacks" Hayes: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Gordon "veilleux" Vayo: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}

Vayo found a dream {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop, giving him top pair and a jack-high flush draw. Vayo only needed to fade a four or queen after the {2-Clubs} hit the turn, and the {9-Hearts} river gave Vayo the double knockout.

Rasmussen Gets a Sweat

Level 27 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante
Thayer Rasmussen
Thayer Rasmussen

Julie "BooLabel" Cornelius raised to 24,000 from middle position, then called a three-bet shove from Thayer "Rasta_Raf" Rasmussen from the cutoff for 196,314.

Thayer "Rasta_Raf" Rasmussen: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Julie "BooLabel" Cornelius: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

Rasmussen's kings got a big sweat when the {5-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop gave Cornelius the nut flush draw to go along with her ace as outs. The {q-Spades} turn and {8-Spades} river did nothing for Cornelius, however, and Rasmussen doubled up.

Belz Nets a Double Through Lech

Level 26 : 5,000/10,000, 1,250 ante
Michael Lech
Michael Lech

Ryan "LoveMy11Cats" Belz raised to 70,000 from under the gun, leaving himself 4,127 behind. Michael "MiguelFiesta" Lech three-bet shoved in the small blind, and after Thayer "Rasta_Raf" Rasmussen folded his big blind, Belz committed his remaining chips.

Ryan "LoveMy11Cats" Belz: {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Michael "MiguelFiesta" Lech: {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

Belz flopped an open-ended straight draw with the {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop, but Lech held two of the blockers to the straight. Belz drilled the {a-Diamonds} turn anyways, and Lech was left drawing dead to the {3-Hearts} river.

Sabatino Downed While Israelashvili Doubles Through Engel

Level 26 : 5,000/10,000, 1,250 ante
Roland Israelashvili
Roland Israelashvili

Ari "PhilIvey" Engel min-raised to 20,000 from early position and Thomas "Zebra_Debra" Sabatino three-bet all in for 26,025 from the small blind. Roland "prngls12" Israelashvili the moved all in for 174,190 from the big blind and Engel thought for a bit before making the call.

Roland "prngls12" Israelashvili: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Ari "PhilIvey" Engel: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Thomas "Zebra_Debra" Sabatino: {a-Spades}{2-Spades}

The {10-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{j-Hearts} flop gave Israelashvili a set, but both his opponents would make Broadway with a king. The {a-Diamonds} turn meant Engel could fill up with either an ace or queen on the river, but it wasn't in the cards as the {8-Hearts} peeled off instead.

Israelashvili won the monster pot while Sabatino hit the rail in 182nd place for $1,092.15.

Hudson Shakes Off Shaker

Kami Hudson
Kami Hudson

Kami "Loco4coco" Hudson raised to 16,000 from middle position, and PeterPaul "HowAboutThat" Shaker called in the big blind.

Shaker checked the {9-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop to Hudson, who bet 13,500. Shaker check-raised all in for 117,607, and Hudson called.

PeterPaul "HowAboutThat" Shaker: {8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Kami "Loco4coco" Hudson: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Shaker's hopes dimmed considerably when the {q-Clubs} fell on the turn, leaving him looking for the ten of clubs to survive. Hudson's nut flush held on the {3-Hearts} river, and Shaker takes home $1,092.15 for his 198th place performance.

Chance Kornuth
Chance Kornuth

"PieceOfStick" raised to 21,750 from middle position, leaving themselves just 963 behind. Chance "BingShui" Kornuth, who finished runner-up in yesterday's Event #11: $500 No-Limit Hold'em Turbo 6-Max, three-bet shoved for 159,1332 in the small blind. Nick "DuckFlush" Pupillo folded in the big blinds, and "PieceOfStick" called off his last few chips.

"PieceOfStick": {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Chance "BingShui" Kornuth: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

"PieceOfStick" caught up on the {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop, and Kornuth couldn't hit an ace or jack on the {5-Clubs} turn or {4-Clubs} river, sending the pot to "PieceOfStick".

Wright and "pill_ivey" Bubble the Big 500

Level 23 : 2,500/5,000, 625 ante

Robert "BobTheDonkey" Hoberman raised to 10,000 from middle position, and James "LVBrit" Wright three-bet shoved for 31,145 in the hijack. "Seeze" called in the small blind, as did Hoberman.

"Seeze" bet 42,000 on a {2-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop, enough to put Hoberman at risk, and Hoberman folded.

James "LVBrit" Wright: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
"Seeze": {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

Wright had ran into a cooler at the worst possible time, and no king would come on the {5-Diamonds} turn or {6-Hearts} river to end Wright's day in 373rd place.

At another table, "pill_ivey" was eliminated in 372nd place, and the remaining field is all in the money!

Kuhn Runs Into Quads

Level 21 : 1,600/3,200, 400 ante
Robert Kuhn
Robert Kuhn

"murph_daddy" limped in from under the gun, and Robert "BustinBalls" Kuhn, winner of Event #3: $400 No-Limit Hold'em, raised to 10,600 next to act. Action folded back to "murph_daddy", who called.

"murph_daddy" check-called a bet of 9,600 from Kuhn on a {q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop, and the {q-Diamonds} fell on the turn. "murph_daddy" checked, and Kuhn bet 16,000. "murph_daddy" check-raised to 32,000 and Kuhn called.

"murph_daddy" jammed on the {q-Clubs} river, putting Kuhn to the test for his last 78,911. Kuhn used up nearly all of his time bank before making the call with {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}, but "murph_daddy" held {q-Hearts}{10-Spades} for quad queens, and Kuhn was eliminated.

Mackey Catches Lucky Seven on River to Eliminate Tan

Level 19 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
James Mackey
James Mackey

Action on the tabled folded around to James "mig.com" Mackey who raised to 7,200 from the small blind and Longsheng "AllenTan" Tan defended his big blind to see a {3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop.

Mackey check-raised all in for 124,267 after Tan fired out 8,550 and Tan called for less holding 73,990.

James "mig.com" Mackey: {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Longsheng "AllenTan" Tan: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Mackey connected with the flop but Tan was still ahead with his pocket tens and the {a-Hearts} turn didn't change a thing.

Unfortunately for Tan, Mackey found lady luck as the {7-Clubs} appeared on the river giving him trip sevens sending Tan to the rail.

Affleck Fades the "Onetime"

Level 18 : 1,000/2,000, 250 ante
Matt Affleck
Matt Affleck

Matt "Nitr0" Affleck raised to 4,000 from the hijack, and "Onetime410" called in the big blind.

"Onetime410" jammed for 8,339 on the {j-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{a-Spades} flop, and Affleck called.

"Onetime410": {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Matt "Nitr0" Affleck: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Affleck's kicker proved to be the difference-maker after the {9-Spades} turn and {6-Hearts} river failed to bring "Onetime410" a four.
