Acevedo Holds to Send Ellerbe Out

Kai Cocklin

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

Michael Acevedo raised from under the gun to 2,400,000 and Diana Allen called in the cutoff. Mark Ellerbe shoved from the small blind for 11,250,000 and after some thinking, Acevedo called. Allen folded.

Mark Ellerbe: K♠Q♥ All in
Michael Acevedo: A♣10♥

Ellerbe was behind and didn't catch any of the 5♣4♦6♣ flop. An A♠ on the turn sealed it as Acevedo paired his ace, which left Ellerbe drawing dead. The J♠ river was just a formality, and Ellerbe headed to the exit.

Myles Phago

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

Benjamin Eilers raised from early position to 2,500,000, and Weizheng Zhong called from the small blind.

Both players checked the 4♠K♦A♦ flop.

The turn brought the 10♣ and both players knuckled the table again. The river saw the K♥ and again both players checked.

Eilers let out a sigh of relief as he saw that his Q♥Q♠ was good and he was pushed the pot.

Gabrielle Barredo

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: J♠2♥ All in
Michael Wilklow: K♥Q♠

The flop came Q♣9♠A♥ 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 4♥6♥ was completed.

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

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: A♥9♣ All in
Brian Kelley: A♦K♠

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 5♥8♠A♠5♠7♥.

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: A♣5♣ All in
Benjamin Eilers: K♣K♦

It didn't take long for Ellerbe to overtake Eilers' kings, as the flop hit A♥5♦J♥. His pair held on turn and river of 4♥7♠.

A clean runway for the American Airlines of Ngo on a K♥4♦3♦Q♥6♦ board, and she secured herself two bounties and an 80,000,000 chip stack.

Allen Collects the Last of Mckay's Stack

Kai Cocklin

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: K♥10♥ All in
Diana Allen: Q♥J♠

Mckay was in front, but not for long as the 10♣J♦9♦ 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.
