Michael Lin Eliminated in 22nd Place ($12,738)

Jacob Wilson

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

There was some Michael on Michael violence at the table as Michael Lin potted from middle position, before Michael Trivett repotted on the button. It was enough to put Lin all in, and he called for his tournament life.

Michael Lin: A♠10♥9♥5♠ All in
Michael Trivett: A♥A♦10♣9♦

Lin was dominated, and the 7♥Q♠K♦A♣7♦ runout didn't help him to escape, as only three Michaels remain in the competition.

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Action went multi-way to a flop of 5♣2♠9♠ in a limped pot. Adel Jo led out for 200,000 in the small blind and the under-the-gun Ken Okada moved all in for 480,000 to put himself at risk. Action folded back around to Jo who quickly called.

Ken Okada: A♥Q♣2♥2♣ All in
Adel Jo: 5♠5♦4♣2♦

Jo's set of fives remained best over Okada's set of deuces as the board ran out 3♣, 7♥ to send Okada packing.

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

The very hand after having his stack decimated by a brutal river, Michael Trivett found himself in the small blind, with action on him. Only having 75,000 left, he shoved blind into Vadim Shlez, who called blind, Trivett sweated his cards one by one.

Michael Trivett: Q♥10♠3♦2♥ All in
Vadim Shlez: J♥5♦3♥3♣

It seemed as though Trivett was on track to stay alive, as he turned a straight on 4♦4♣6♥5♣ but the 7♣ river gave his opponent a higher straight, sending him home.

Catching the action on the river of a board that showed K♦8♦A♦10♥Q♠ and with over 1,000,000 in the pot. Amnon Filippi jammed from the small blind to put Samuel Del Castillo all in out of the big blind. Castillo made the call for his last 200,000.

Castillo revealed a baby flush with A♥9♣5♦2♦, but was second best to Filippi's higher flush with A♠J♠J♦4♦. The pot was pushed to Filippi and Castillo was out in 19th.

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Scott Dulaney opened action up to 125,000 from middle position, and Jason Lang flatted his bet. Michael Reed then potted to 525,000 in the big blind, leaving only 100,000 behind. The other two players called.

Reed then shoved on the A♦2♥5♠ flop, and both players called again, before checking down the J♣ turn and 7♣ river. Reed's 10x9x8x8x was no good against Dulaney's A♠K♣Q♠J♦. Lang showed A♥6♦6♠3♥.

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Punnat Punsri raised the pot from the cutoff to 210,000 only for Michael Monroig to re-pot from the button to 720,000. Punsri called.

The flop came 10♣4♣K♣ and Punsri put Monroig all-in for his last 200,000. Monroig called.

Michael Monroig: A♥K♦7♦6♥ All in
Punnat Punsri: K♠Q♣J♠5♣

Monroig was drawing dead to runner-runner full house outs, and when the 10♦ fell on the turn it was all over, the irrelevant 8♦ came on the river, and Monroig was sent to the rail in 17th place.

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Five players went to a flop of A♣3♠J♦, after Qiaonan Liu, Amnon Filippi, Scott Dulaney, and Matthew Beck all limped, and Jason Stockfish checked his option. Filippi bet 225,000 into a pot of 360,000 after being checked to, and Beck was his only caller.

Beck checked for a second time on the 5♦ turn, and Filippi bet out for 475,000. Beck potted to put him all in, and he couldn't have made a quicker call if he tried.

Amnon Filippi: A♦J♠7♠4♦ All in
Matthew Beck: Q♠J♣J♥10♦

Beck was ahead with his set, but Filippi had plenty of ways to win the hand, with two gutshots, a flush draw, and also boat outs. He completely bricked on the 8♠ river, and he left the table in disbelief.

Punnat Punsri: A♠Q♠Q♥7♦

The 6♦ gave Jo the straight but Punsri filled up on the 7♥ river to scoop the pot and send Jo packing.

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Bryce Yockey made it 140,000 from the hijack and Scott Dulaney three-bet to 400,000 from the button with around 700,000 behind. When it got back to Yockey, he called.

Yockey knuckled the action over to Dulaney on the J♥4♥2♦ flop. Dulaney jammed, which Yockey quickly called.

Scott Dulaney: A♥A♣7♠7♣ All in
Bryce Yockey: K♥K♠9♥3♠

Dulaney had just aces against the kings and a flush draw of Yockey. The 10♥ turn improved Yockey to a flush and left Dulaney drawing dead. The 3♦ river cemented Dulaney's elimination in 14th place.

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Bryce Yockey raised to 140,000 from early position, and received two callers: Matthew Beck on the button, and Vadim Shlez from the big blind. The three went off to a flop of 6♣3♦5♣ and Shlez open shoved his remaining 325,000. Yockey folded, and Beck checked his cards one more time before calling.

Vadim Shlez: Q♦10♦9♥5♥ All in
Matthew Beck: A♦J♦7♠4♠

"That's gonna be hard to beat," said Shlez upon seeing that he'd run into the nuts. He was indeed correct, as the 2♥6♥ runout sent him home during the final level of Day 2.
