Spinella Gets In His Last Chip

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Anthony Spinella raised to 175,000 preflop, leaving himself a single 5,000 chip behind. Craig Burke called on the button and they saw a flop of {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{2-Hearts}.

Spinella checked and Burke threw out a chip to put Spinella all in. "You couldn't just check it down," Spinella said, both players laughing as Spinella called off with {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. Burke showed {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for king-high.

The {8-Hearts} on the turn gave Spinella a straight draw, but Burke paired his king on the river to send Spinella to the payout desk.

Hallay Keeps Climbing, Busts Kim

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

A few hands after tripling up, Axel Hallay moved all in again for 405,000. Seungyeol Kim asked for a count before calling.

Seungyeol Kim: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Axel Hallay: {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The {q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop gave Hally a straight draw, while he paired his king on the {k-Hearts} turn. The river came the {4-Diamonds} to lock up the hand for Hallay.

The stacks were counted down and Kim was found to have the exact same stack and was eliminated. Hallay, who began the day with 185,000, is now up to 810,000.

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Gal Yifrach

The action folded around to Gal Yifrach in the small blind who ripped all in for 550,000. Terry Boutcher asked for a count in the big blind and made the call.

Boutcher held {a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} but Yifrach had two live cards with {k-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. The flop came {k-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Yifrach took the lead with a pair of kings. The {q-Hearts} and {10-Clubs} runout secured the double up for Yifrach.

On the next hand, Yifrach moved all in again on the button, this time for 1,140,000. Timothee Scotti called from the big blind and Yifrach was at risk again.

Yifrach showed {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs} but was dominated by the {a-}{q-} of Scotti. However, the board ran out {k-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades} and Yifrach flopped a pair of threes to double up to over 2 million chips.
