Liu Eliminated by Heinzl

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
JJ Liu
JJ Liu

Three ways to the {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop, Andrew Jeong in the small blind and Joshua Heinzl in the big blind checked. JJ Liu made it 50,000 to go and Jeong called. Heinzl then pushed all-in and that sent Liu into the tank. After more than two minutes she asked for a count on Heinzl's shove, which was deemed to be for 885,000 total.

Liu had a stack of approximately 700,000 herself and called all-in, Jeong folded.

JJ Liu: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}
Joshua Heinzl: {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Heinzl was in the lead with the top two pair and that didn't change on the {a-Clubs} turn nor the {7-Hearts} river.

Caputo Busts Lauper, Avoids Penalty

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Brandon Caputo
Brandon Caputo

Sean Lauper moved all in for his last 395,000 from under the gun. Brandon Caputo in middle position thought it over for a few moments before announcing a call.

Before big blind Markus Gonsalves could act, Caputo exposed his {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}. Gonsalves quickly mucked, and Lauper turned over {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}.

Caputo flopped a set on a board of {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}{4-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} to bust Lauper. After the hand, the tournament floor was called over. Gonsalves argued it was just a mistake by Caputo and he shouldn't be penalized, and the floor let Caputo off.

Jonathan Therme was all in for about 230,000 with trip aces on a board of {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{j-Spades}. Freddy Heller had {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} in front of him and needed to hit the flush on the river to score the knockout.

Sure enough, the dealer turned over the {3-Clubs} and Heller took the big pot, knocked out Therme, and took the tournament chip lead with 1,800,000.

From the under-the-gun position, Bart Lybaert raised to 80,000 with very few chips behind and Darren Elias pushed for more than 330,000 from the very next seat.

Bart Lybaert: {a-Spades}{5-Spades}
Leonid Yanovski: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Darren Elias: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Yanovski doubled through Elias while sending Lybaert to the payout desk.
