David Salituro

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

Terry Fleischer raised to 400,000 in the cutoff and Halil Tasyurek called in the big blind.

Both players checked the 10♣8♥5♣ flop. Tasyurek then led out for 600,000 on the 5♦ turn.

Fleischer responded by moving all in for 2,745,000 and Tasyurek snap-called, turning over K♦5♠ for trips. Fleischer could only show A♦9♠ for ace-high and was already drawing dead by the K♣ river as Tasyurek improved to a full house, sending Fleischer to the rail in fifth place.

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.

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

Nenad Dukic raised to 325,000 under the gun, leaving himself 120,000 behind, and David Coleman three-bet to 600,000 in middle position. Terry Fleischer called in the big blind to create a side pot heading to the flop.

The dealer spread out 7♠6♠5♣ and Fleischer quickly jammed for 2,100,000. Coleman snap folded A♦10♦.

Nenad Dukic: K♦J♠ All in
Terry Fleischer: 9♠9♣

Fleischer was ahead with his nines, while the 8♦ turn improved him to a straight and left Dukic drawing only to a chop.

The river was the A♥ and Dukic was eliminated in seventh place.

Kai Cocklin

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

Nenad Dukic opened to 250,000 from the hijack and Jonathan Pastore called from the button. Halil Tasyurek then shoved all in from the big blind for just over 2,900,000. Dukic made the call and Pastore folded.

Halil Tasyurek: A♠K♠ All in
Nenad Dukic: Q♦Q♣

A huge flip that went the way of Tasyurek after he flopped top two pair on the K♣2♣A♥2♥2♠ board and ended with a full house.
