Allen Collects the Last of Mckay's Stack

Level 38 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Diana Allen made it 4,000,000 from the hijack and Jamey Mckay shoved the button for around 10,000,000. After getting the count, Allen tossed in calling chips.

Jamey Mckay: K10 All in
Diana Allen: QJ

Mckay was in front, but not for long as the 10J9 flop gave Allen a pair and open-ended straight draw. Mckay had a straight draw of his own but never found it when the 4 hit the turn. Both players improved on the K river as Mckay made two pair, but it was no good as Allen improved to a straight to secure the knockout.

A clean runway for the American Airlines of Ngo on a K43Q6 board, and she secured herself two bounties and an 80,000,000 chip stack.

Lose Some, Win Some

Level 38 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Mark Ellerbe shoved all in from middle position and was called by Brian Kelley in the small blind.

Mark Ellerbe: A9 All in
Brian Kelley: AK

Ellerbe knew he was in trouble with the dominated hand and it ran out per the odds, with Kelley taking more than 8 million chips on a board that ran out 58A57.

Undeterred, Ellerbe was again all-in the next hand under the gun, for 3,550,000. Jeffrey Hong, seated to Ellerbe's left, made the call, but then bowed out when Benjamin Eilers made an all-in bet.

Mark Ellerbe: A5 All in
Benjamin Eilers: KK

It didn't take long for Ellerbe to overtake Eilers' kings, as the flop hit A5J. His pair held on turn and river of 47.

Saeyang Leaves the Floor in High Spirits

Level 38 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Peter Saeyang found himself with only 700,000 behind after putting in the big blind. Ever the sport, he held his bounty up and told the whole table, "All you can eat guys," even before the cards were dealt.

After the hole cards were dealt, he went, "I'm not even going to look." So when Michael Wilklow opened to 7,000,000 in middle position and action was folded to him, Saeyang snap-called with his remaining chips.

Peter Saeyang: J2 All in
Michael Wilklow: KQ

The flop came Q9A immediately giving Wilklow a pair which made Saeyang start packing his bags. Seeming to be the most popular guy on the table, he started saying his goodbyes to everyone as the runout 46 was completed.

With a smile, he bid everyone good luck as Wilklow scooped the pot.
