Stewart Morrison

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

Thomas Ratkovich raised on the button to 200,000, and when the small blind got out of the way, Richard Jutte moved all in from the big blind for 2,655,000. Ratkovich made the call, and the players revealed they would be flipping for this huge pot.

Richard Jutte: A♥K♦ All in
Thomas Ratkovich: 9♣9♥

The flop came down 10♠J♣J♥, to which Ratkovich said "Just not a ten", alluding to the potential to be counterfeit now.

The deck wasn't taking requests, though, and the turn rolled off the 10♦.

There was no miracle river for Ratkovich as the dealer revealed the 2♣, and Jutte had a mountain of chips pushed in his direction.

Edwin Huston jammed from under the gun for 1,150,000 and was called by Thomas Ratkovich in the big blind.

Edwin Huston: K♣10♥ All in
Thomas Ratkovich: A♥7♥

Huston was behind going into the runout, but the 10♦5♣8♣ flop changed that as he paired his ten to go ahead. The Q♦ turn did not change the state of the hand, and the 10♠ improved him to trips to secure the double.

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Lonny Weitzel went all in on the button, covering both blinds. Thong Tran made mention that there were no pay jumps for several eliminations and eventually pushed forward all his chips.

Thong Tran: A♣K♣ All in
Lonny Weitzel: A♠3♥

Tran was on his feet and quickly devastated when the flop came 3♦4♥J♦, moving Weitzel into the lead.

The turned A♥ gave him a few more outs but it destiny had other plans as the 7♠ fell off the deck.

Tran said he had a similar exit last year before leaving with his rail.

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Martin Kohler limped from under the gun before Steven Altman chose to raise to 600,000 from middle position. The table folded back to Kohler, who called to see a flop.

The flop fanned out A♥6♦3♥ before Kohler checked. Altman chose to bet 600,000 before Kohler instantly announced all in. Altman tanked while he pondered his options before he called off the rest of his stack.

Steven Altman: Q♥Q♣ All in
Martin Kohler: A♣9♦

Altman was in trouble after he stood his ground with his queens as Kohler held top pair. The 5♣ turn and the 3♠ river were the end of Altman's tournament run.
