Leonid Yanovski Eliminated in 15th Place ($28,609)

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Leonid Yanovski
Leonid Yanovski

Daniel Zack limped in and Leonid Yanovski raised the pot for 135,000. Zack gave it some consideration and called to see a flop of {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{5-Spades} on which Zack bet the pot. Yanovski got it in for the last 345,000 and Zack called to set up the following showdown.

Leonid Yanovski: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Daniel Zack: {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades}

Zack had plenty of straight outs and hit one of them right away on the {9-Spades} turn to leave Yanovski drawing dead, making the {2-Diamonds} river a formality. Yanovski's tournament comes to an end in 15th place and he collects $28,609 for the efforts.

Short Stacks Clash

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Preflop, Leonid Yanovski raised to 70,000 from the cutoff, and got shoved on by Ashly Butler on the button for 255,000.

The rest of the table folded and Yanovski gave it some thought. A call would cost him a little under half his remaining stack.

Ultimately, Yanovski opted to fold, and he then got a courtesy show of {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} from Butler.

Spurlin Doubles Through Sandrock

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Jordan Spurlin
Jordan Spurlin

Jonathan Witz limped and Jeremy Ausmus raised to 110,000, which Chris Sandrock called and Witz folded. On the {7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop both players checked and Ausmus then bet the {j-Spades} turn for 250,000, Sandrock folded.

Next, a four-way pot emerged to the {8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop on which Sandrock in the cutoff bet 150,000. Anderson Ireland called on the button and Jonathan Spurlin in the small blind check-called. Ausmus check-folded and they headed to the {k-Diamonds} on the turn. Spurlin checked, Sandrock then bet what appeared to be 425,000.

That forced out Ireland but Spurlin jammed for 800,000 total to earn a reluctant call from Sandrock.

Jordan Spurlin: {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades}
Chris Sandrock: {k-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}

Spurlin held the bottom set and nut flush draw, which improved to a full house on the {6-Diamonds} river to secure his double up and put a dent into the big stack of Sandrock.

Mike Krasienko Eliminated in 16th Place ($28,609)

Level 21 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Mike Krasienko
Mike Krasienko

Mike Krasienko raised on the button, and Chris Sandrock three-bet in the small blind. Krasienko then moved all-in and Sandrock quickly called.

Mike Krasienko: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Chris Sandrock: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

Krasienko was trailing Sandrock's aces, and remained behind on the {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop. The turn {6-Clubs} and river {4-Spades} changed nothing, and Krasienko headed to the payout table in 16th place.

Level 21 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Mike Matusow
Mike Matusow

Following an open raise by Tommy Le and a call by Mike Matusow, they got it in after the {8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop with Matusow as the player at risk.

Mike Matusow: {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Tommy Le: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

"Fade one time," Matusow exclaimed and he remained ahead on the {j-Clubs} turn. However, the {k-Hearts} river gave Le the nut flush and Matusow was eliminated in 17th place for $23,806. All remaining 16 players will now redraw to the final two tables.

Level 21 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Nader Younes
Nader Younes

Nader Younes raised to 75,000 from early position and got a call from Jonathan Witz in the big blind.

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Spades}, and Witz checked to Younes who bet the pot. Witz quickly check-raised the pot to put Younes all-in, and Younes called.

Nader Younes: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Jonathan Witz: {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}

Witz was ahead of Younes' aces with his two pair, kings and deuces.

The {2-Hearts} filled Witz up on the turn, and the {4-Diamonds} sealed Younes' fate in 18th place.

Ausmus Pulls Ahead of Witz

Level 21 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Three ways to the {8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop with 110,000 each invested, Jeremy Ausmus in the big blind and Eli Elezra in the hijack checked. Jonathan Witz bet the pot for 365,000 in the cutoff and Ausmus then reraised the pot for 1.46 million. That represented essentially his entire stack and Elezra snap-folded.

Witz mulled over his decision for a while and came to the same conclusion, tapped the table and sent his cards into the muck.

Witz Rebuilds Via Elezra

Level 21 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Jonathan Witz had seen his stack dip below two million recently, but he got some back in a recent hand with Eli Elezra.

On a flop of {5-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, Elezra led out for 50,000 from the big blind. Witz called in early position.

The turn brought the {j-Clubs}, and Elezra bet 150,000. Witz then raised the size of the pot (700,000), which would be enough to put Elezra all-in.

Elezra opted to fold and preserve his last 550,000 chips, while Witz creeps back toward two million as stacks have tightened at table 421.
