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

After a quiet 20 or so minutes of play, which only saw small pots exchanged between the players, David Coleman opened the action with a raise from the cutoff to 220,000. Michael Acevedo, who had been relatively quiet, was sitting in the small blind.

Acevedo thought for a few moments before making his move, pushing all in for 1,350,000. Coleman quickly called.

Michael Acevedo: J♠10♠ All in
David Coleman: A♥K♥

The dealt out A♠6♠4♥ on the flop, giving Acevedo a flush draw.

Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

David Coleman picked up A♠K♠ in the hijack and moved all in for 755,000. The rest of the table folded and Coleman collected the blinds and ante.

The next hand, Coleman committed most of his stack by raising to 725,000 under the gun. Asher Conniff called in the cutoff and they went heads up to the 6♥5♦2♦ flop.

Coleman checked to Conniff who put him all-in, and Coleman called for 430,000.

David Coleman: A♠9♥ All in
Asher Conniff: A♥J♥

Conniff had Coleman dominated and at risk as the A♣ turn gave both players top pair. The river was the Q♦ and Conniff's jack-kicker played to send Coleman to the rail in sixth place.

Coleman's sixth-place finish was good for 40.5 points for Team The Dinkers in the 25K Fantasy Pool.
