Edward Grinko Eliminated in 15th Place ($12,007)

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Edward Grinko
Edward Grinko

Pot-Limit Omaha

Edward Grinko opened from the cutoff for a pot sized bet of 140,000, a large portion of his stack. Vegard Andreassen repotted from the big blind to put Grinko all in should he make the call, which he did, putting his tournament life in jeopardy.

Edward Grinko: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Vegard Andreassen: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{j-Spades}{3-Spades}

Grinko was already behind to Andreassen's jacks, but when Andreassen improved to two pair on the {k-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{a-Spades} flop, Grinko was a 4:1 underdog to stay alive. When the {9-Spades} hit on the turn, he was left drawing dead. The board completed with the {8-Clubs}. Grinko was knocked out in 15th place for a cash of $12,007, the largest of his career.

Jonathan Hart Eliminated in 14th Place ($12,007)

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

Pot-Limit Omaha

In a four-way limped pot, the flop showed {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades} when Jonathan Hart led out for 125,000. It folded to Vincent Lam in the small blind who tanked a minute before raising it to 350,000 and Aden Salazar let it go in the big blind. Hart shoved for less than 500,000 left and Lam called:

Jonathan Hart: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{j-Spades}{2-Spades}
Vincent Lam: {7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}

Lam had hit a set of threes and the rest of the board didn't change anything with the {2-Hearts} and the {5-Clubs} to give the winning hand to Lam and send Hart out in 14th place.

Nick Schwarmann Eliminated in 12th Place ($14,834)

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Nick Schwarmann
Nick Schwarmann

No-Limit Hold'em

Nick Schwarmann opened from the button by moving all in. Robert Topham rejammed in the small blind, putting Schwarmann at risk. Once the big blind got out of the way, it was time to showdown.

Nick Schwarmann: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}
Robert Topham: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Schwarmann seemed in poor shape, behind to a pocket pair with only one over card, but that changed quickly as the {a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop gave him top pair. That hope quickly faded though as the {k-Hearts} turn improved Topham to a set. Upon seeing this, Schwarmann moved his chip stack over to Topham, not even waiting for the {7-Diamonds} river, which was a brick, eliminating Schwarmann.

Andreassen Chipping Up on Kaplan

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

On a board {9-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, Jordan Kaplan check-called in the small blind a bet worth 275,000 from Vegard Andreassen in the big blind.

The {k-Spades} completed the board on the river and Kaplan checked again. Andreassen fired 750,000 and Kaplan tanked for some time before sending a chip for the call but mucked his cards when he saw {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades} in Andreassen's hand for the nut flush.
