Joseph "joeyrup" Skorupa Eliminated in 14th Place ($8,556.84)

Level 38 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

Joseph "joeyrup" Skorupa raised all in for 292,735 from early position and Matt "OMG_Obama" Iles three-bet to 705,470 from the button.

Joon "jykpoker" Kim folded his small blind while Jason "TATTOOMONEY" Scott called from the big blind to see a {5-Clubs}{4-Spades}{j-Hearts} flop.

Both players checked to the {j-Hearts} turn where Scott led out for 120,000 and Iles called to see the {4-Diamonds} complete the board on the river.

Both players checked and Scott rolled over {k-Hearts}{j-Spades} to win the hand as Skorupa mucked {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}.

"panaayush21" Eliminated in 15th Place ($8,556.84)

Level 37 : 50,000/100,000, 12,500 ante

Michael "Mike91680" Guzzardi raised all in for 1,008,780 from the cutoff, "panaayush21" jammed their 317,365 stack in the middle from the small blind and "LakersGTD" called from the big blind putting both opponents at risk.

"LakersGTD": {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
"panaayush21": {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Michael "Mike91680" Guzzardi: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}

The {q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} flop put "panaayush21" in the lead, but it was only temporary as the {j-Spades} not only gave "LakersGTD" a set of jacks, but it gave Guzzardi the nuts to Broadway.

The {8-Hearts} river didn't change a thing as Guzzardi eliminated "panaayush" and scored a double-up.

James "jerzrep" Nadolski: {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Matt "OMG_Obama" Iles: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Nadolski needed some help but didn't get it as the board ran out {6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs}{9-Spades}{k-Spades}.

David "ritzz" Ritter Eliminated in 18th Place ($6,755.40); Justin "MadTitan" Turner Eliminated in 19th Place ($5,404.32)

Level 37 : 50,000/100,000, 12,500 ante
David Ritter
David Ritter

There was three-way all in action preflop with Justin "MadTitan" Turner and David "ritzz" Ritter at risk.

David "ritzz" Ritter: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Justin "MadTitan" Turner: {a-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Matt "OMG_Obama" Iles: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Iles had both opponent's dominated and the {3-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} flop left Turner drawing dead, while Ritter was looking for a running straight or flush to survive.

The running {4-Spades} turn and {4-Clubs} river secured Iles the double elimination with kings-full.

Jon Borenstein
Jon Borenstein

Jason "TATTOOMONEY" Scott raised to 160,000 under the gun and then called when Jonathan "jetsfan14" Borenstein three-bet all in for 468,858 from the small blind.

Jason "TATTOOMONEY" Scott: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Jonathan "jetsfan14" Borenstein: {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The {10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop didn't do anything for Borenstein, but the {9-Clubs} turn did give him a gutshot straight draw. Unfortunately for the New Jersey grinder, the {a-Clubs} river was a brick and he hit the rail in 22nd place for $5,404.32.

Whittington Hands "Pegasus" a Dirty Finish

Level 32 : 16,000/32,000, 4,000 ante
Mark Smith
Mark Smith

Blake "shampainpopn" Whittington opened for 64,000 and then called Mark "Pegasusmss" Smith's 354,304 three-bet jam from the big blind.

Mark "Pegasusmss" Smith: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Blake "shampainpopn" Whittington: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}

Smith was ahead and things turned bright after the {7-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop gave him a full house.

Unfortunately for Smith, his brightness faded after the running {a-Diamonds} turn and {a-Hearts} river gave Whittington a better full house ending his tournament in 39th place for $3,490.29.

No Ace from Space for Hall

Level 30 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Ruth Hall
Ruth Hall

The short-stacked Ruth "BingoCards" Hall moved all in for 31,306 from early position and "Lenny1" isolated by three-betting to 96,000 from the button.

Both blinds folded and the hands were turned up.

Ruth "BingoCards" Hall: {a-Clubs}{4-Spades}
"Lenny1": {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

Hall was way behind and looking for some help, with an ace being the best option.

The {8-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop gave her backdoor straight and flush draws, but the {10-Hearts} turn took them away.

Hall needed an ace and an ace only on the river, but it wasn't in the cards as the {k-Hearts} peeled off instead.

Hall hit the rail in 63rd place for $2,476.98
