De Silva Gets Aces And Action

Level 19 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Upeshka ''gomezhamburg'' De Silva
Upeshka ''gomezhamburg'' De Silva

Upeshka ''gomezhamburg'' De Silva just got his opponent, Jacob ''ROOMservice'' Perry to three-bet jam for 26,000 from the small blind, while he happily called off from the button after min-raise opening.

Perry was actually sat out until the action was almost on De Silva. He'll wish he had been after we saw their cards.

Jacob ''ROOMservice'' Perry {j-Spades}{9-Spades}
Upeshka ''gomezhamburg'' De Silva {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

The run out {a-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts} gave Perry a lot of outs, but he didn't catch up and was eliminated.

"TuNemesis" Spikes a Queen

Level 19 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Martin "Bathroomline" Zamani raised to 6,000 in early position and "TuNemesis" three-bet all in for 34,797 in the cutoff. The action folded back around to Zamani who called.

"TuNemesis": {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Martin "Bathroomline" Zamani: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Zamani had "TuNemesis" dominated and the {7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Spades} flop changed nothing. The {10-Spades} on the turn gave Zamani a flush draw, eliminating another out for "TuNemesis" but the {q-Hearts} on the river meant the chips were headed to "TuNemesis".

Arikari Busts Kanit

Level 20 : 1,400/2,800, 350 ante

Mustafa ''lasagnaaammm'' Kanit got his last 17,000 in the middle under the gun and with action folding around to the big blind, ''Arikari'' called and Kanit was in great shape.

Mustafa ''lasagnaaammm'' Kanit: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Arikari: {a-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}

The {2-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{a-Spades}{2-Spades} run-out was less than favorable though, busting Kanit before the money.

Daniel "DLAZ14" Lazrus raised to 8,000 under the gun and the action folded around to Matthew "peepeepoopoo" Paoletti in the big blind and he jammed for 30,718. Lazrus called.

Matthew "peepeepoopoo" Paoletti: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Daniel "DLAZ14" Lazrus: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The flop came {j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades}, giving Lazrus top two pair to take the lead. The {k-Diamonds} on the turn meant Paoletti could make a straight to win as well as counterfeit Lazrus' two pair but the {3-Spades} on the river sent Paoletti to the rail as the stone bubble.

All remaining players have locked up a min-cash of $719 and will be contending for the $127,152.72 grand prize and a WSOP gold Bracelet.
