Level 17 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Mathew Frankland
Mathew Frankland

On the second hand back from dinner, Mathew Frankland moved all in for 590,000 from the hijack. Vinny Lingham then moved all in for 2,100,000 on the button with Chris Hunichen and Barak Wisbrod folding in the blinds.

Mathew Frankland: QQAll in
Vinny Lingham: KK

Frankland was crushed, but he had his hopes lifted after seing the Q in the window. However, the 2K followed behind for a set-over-set situation. Frankland couldn't find his one-outer on the 5 turn or A river.

With Frankland's departure, the tournament is now on the stone bubble.

Hunichen & Heath Play a Big One on the Bubble

Level 16 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Ben Heath
Ben Heath

Mathew Frankland used five of the 11 time banks he possesed before folding in the cutoff. The action then went on Ben Heath, who opened to 160,000 from the button. Vinny Lingham folded in the small blind before Chris Hunichen defended his big blind.

Hunichen check-called bets of 90,000 and 465,000 on the flop and turn for the board to read K10543. Heath used a time bank of his own before sizing up to 785,000.

Hunichen had around 2,500,000 behind and went into the tank. Two time banks later, he called.

"Jesus," Hunichen muttered as Heath tabled AA. The defending champion couldn't beat the rockets and the pot was pushed to Heath.
