Evan Krentzman: A♦10♣8♣3♦ All in
Shaun Deeb: A♠K♠J♥10♥

George Wolff: A♥Q♦J♣2♣ All in
Michael Moncek: A♠A♣7♠4♦

The flop came 10♣5♥3♠ and Moncek was still well out front with his pair of aces. The 8♦ on the turn and the 7♥ on the river changed nothing, sending Wolff home in 19th place.

Ben Tollerene: A♥A♣

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Brandon Mitchell raised on the button and was met with an all-in by Michael Duek in the small blind for roughly 350,000. Mitchell called, and the players turned over their cards to reveal they were flipping.

Michael Duek: Q♥J♥ All in
Brandon Mitchell: 9♥9♦

The flop looked good for Duek, coming down A♥10♣6♥, giving him a world of outs.

The turn 9♠ added some more possible outs, despite giving his opponent a set.

The river 2♠ was no help, though, and Mitchell was sent to the rail.

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

A short-stacked Jason Koon got the rest of his 190,000 stack in pre-flop versus Arthur Morris.

Jason Koon: Q♥J♥ All in
Arthur Morris: 2♣2♠

The flop was less than ideal for Koon, coming down 10♥Q♦2♦, but the 7♥ gave him hope.

Alas, the 7♦ river gave his opponent a full house and sent him to the rail.

Allan Le Busts on the Bubble, Andrews Survives with One Chip

Adam Lamers

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Allan Le raised to 55,000 from under the gun, leaving himself with just 10,000 chips behind. Bryce Yockey was next to act and made it 110,000. Robert Cowen flat-called from the big blind and Le stuck in his last 10,000 chips.

The flop came J♦4♠4♣ and Cowen check-called a bet of 100,000 from Yockey. The turn brought the 10♦ and Cowen check-called another bet of 350,000 this time.

The river was the 3♦ and Cowen checked one last time. Yockey announced all in and Cowen snap-called his last 370,000. Yockey showed A♠10♣ for two pair but Cowen held J♠J♥ for a full house. Le was nowehere close to beating either hand with A♥9♦ and was eliminated on the stone bubble.

Cherish Andrews was left with a single 5,000 chip in front of her, thanks in part to the structure change made at the beginning of the level. The actual structure indicated a 40,000 big blind ante for no-limit hold'em, but as per recent levels played, players noted that they were supposed to be playing with a 35,000 big blind ante (small blind + big blind).
