Oleson Cracks Aces for a Double

Level 28 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Action was heads up and the dealer was counting out Andrew Oleson's stack while the board showed {4-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}. An opponent in the big blind had {a-}{a-} turned up, but they went into the muck when Oleson showed {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for a set of eights.

Oleson is on the move today as his stack nears 4,000,000.

Baldwin Stays Alive

Level 28 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Eric Baldwin, one of the few remaining bracelet winners in the field, moved all in for 1,935,000 on the button and was snap-called by the big blind.

Eric Baldwin: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Big Blind: {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

It was a race situation, but it wouldn't stay that way for long as the {10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop gave Baldwin top set. The board ran out {j-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Baldwin doubled up.

Chinery Flops the World

Level 28 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Picking up the action with the flop showing {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{q-Clubs}, Chip Chinery moved all in for 2,165,000 in the big blind and was called by an opponent to his immediate left.

His opponent showed {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for the nut flush and straight draws, but he was already drawing dead. Chinery showed {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for the flopped straight flush as several players at the table took out cameras.

The meaningless {6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} turn and river were a formality as Chinery doubled up.

Guillaume Soumier open-shoved from the button and Alexandre Heran committed the last of his stack from the small blind. The big blind got out of the way and action was heads up with Heran at risk.

Alexandre Heran: {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Guillaume Soumier: {q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

The board ran out {10-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{4-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} and Soumier made jacks and fours to eliminate Heran from the tournament.

Set Over Set Sends Kyte to the Ground

Level 27 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Jon Kyte raised to 450,000 from early position, leaving himself one red 5,000 chip behind. The player to his left called before Andy Su re-raised all for around 1,400,000.

Before Kyte could act, the other opponent called Su's shove without realizing Kyte had a chip remaining. Kyte went into the tank for about a minute before the clock was called. He eventually threw in his last chip to create a three-way all in.

Jon Kyte: {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
Andy Su: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Opponent: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

The {5-Clubs} came in the window to give Kyte a set, but it was followed by the {3-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} to give Su a higher set.

"Yes," Su yelled when he saw the set-over-set situation. The board ran out {10-Spades}{4-Spades} and Su doubled up while eliminating Kyte.

A few hands earlier, Kyte had lost a massive race against Bryan Posada with {a-}{j-} to {10-}{10-} to see most of his once-large stack disappear.

Former PokerNews Editor-in-Chief Done and Dusted

Level 27 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Donnie Peters
Donnie Peters

The elimination of former PokerNews Editor-in-Chief Donnie Peters, an industry veteran who now works for PokerGO, went uncaptured when it happened, but he was kind enough to share some details after the fact.

As he told it, he moved all in under the gun for 860,000 holding the {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and a player in late position moved all in over the top for 1.1 million with the {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}.

Peters was looking to win the race, but that proved easier said than done as the flop fell {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{9-Spades} to pair his opponent. Neither the {10-Hearts} turn nor {q-Diamonds} river delivered salvation for Peters and he made his way to the payout desk.

Lucky Sevens Hold for Park

Level 27 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Andrew Wall was all in preflop for his last 450,000 and looking to win a race against Sebastian Park.

Sebastian Park: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Andrew Wall: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

Park was ahead with sevens and they held strong as the board ran out a lowly {4-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. Wall failed to win the flip and took his leave in 228th place for $2,390.

Frei Misses Out on Monster Pot as Vollaire Triples

Level 27 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Erik Vollaire moved all in for 1,135,000 from the button, Aaron Frei shoved from the small blind, and Francklin Flory called both players.

Erik Vollaire: {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Aaron Frei: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Francklin Flory: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

Vollaire took the lead on the {q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} flop as Flory failed to connect with either the {8-Diamonds} turn or {3-Diamonds} river.

"I'll take a side pot," Frei yelled as he doubled up.

"He folds one time," Frei continued, pointing at Vollaire, "I win a huge pot off that guy."

"JoeytheMush" Flushes Opponent

Level 27 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Joseph "JoeytheMush" Straub
Joseph "JoeytheMush" Straub

A short-stacked player moved all in for 525,000 from early position and Joseph "JoeytheMush" Straub, who poker fans might know from his appearances in Ryan Depaulo's popular vlog, called next to act. The rest of the players folded and the hands were turned up.

Joseph "JoeytheMush" Straub: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Opponent: {j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

Straub was good but not after the flop fell {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} to pair his opponent. Fortunately for "JoeytheMush", the running {6-Hearts} turn and {9-Hearts} river gave him a heart flush to score the knockout and collect the pot.
