Muskan Sethi

Muskan Sethi open-shoved in middle position for her last 19,000 and it folded to Deborah Nance in the big blind who called:

Muskan Sethi: A♠Q♦ All in
Deborah Nance: A♣K♥

Sethi's hand was dominated and the board 7♥8♥6♥8♦K♣ didn't bring her any help to be eliminated from the event.

All the chips went in the middle preflop between Tonci Restovic, who was at risk for a remaining stack around 22,000, holding A♦7♦, and Martin Gerloff who held 6♥6♠.

Restovic couldn't win the flip to survive as the board revealed K♣5♥K♥3♠3♥ and Gerloff took down the pot.

"A Hand That Even Kessler Would Be Proud Of"

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
John Bunch
John Bunch

Brian Barker opened to 3,000 in the cutoff and was called by Gregory Sly on the button, John Bunch in the small blind, and Ja Sim in the big blind.

The flop rolled out A♦Q♣J♣ and action checked around to Sly who bet 6,000. Bunch raised to 18,000 which folded out Sim while Barker raised to 32,000. Sly moved all in for 38,000 and Bunch jammed all in over the top which saw Barker fold.

Gregory Sly: A♣J♠ All in
John Bunch: K♦10♣

Bunch had flopped Broadway up against Sly's top and bottom pair. The board ran out 9♠3♦ and Bunch's Broadway held up as the best hand while Sly was eliminated.

"That's a hand even Kessler would be proud of," said Bunch as he raked in the pot.

Brandon Paddock: A♠4♦All in
John Pointer: A♣Q♥

No help for Paddock on the K♣2♦5♥10♥A♦ run out, and he was sent to the rail.

Worth the Wait for Richardson

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Daemon Richardson
Daemon Richardson

Players were already heads-up on the 7♥5♥3♥ flop with a pot of around 40,000. Paul Douglass moved all in for his remaining 28,500 and action was on Daemon Richardson to make the call or fold.

Richardson moved chips over the line and the players flipped their cards. Richardson went first and said, "I don't even know what I am up against" as he waited for Douglass to show his hand, not realising he has been called.

Paul Douglass: 10♥10♠All in
Daemon Richardson: K♠K♥

Richardson was ahead, and things stayed that way on the 9♣ turn and 8♦ river, sending Douglass home.

No Diamonds for Takao

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Mark Spradlin raised it up from under the gun and Brandon Takao shipped all in for roughly 13,000 in middle position. The action folded back to Spradlin who quickly called to put Takao at risk.

Brandon Takao: A♦K♦All in
Mark Spradlin: A♠A♣

The flop came 9♦8♥5♦ and Takao picked up a flush draw against Spradlin's pocket aces. The 9♣ on the turn and the 7♥ on the river were no help to Takao who was bounced from the Main Event.

Carroll Stays in Contention

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Casey Carroll was all in with a short stack and J♦J♠, up against two over cards that were instantly mucked when neither of them came on the 8♣6♠4♠6♥2♣ runout.

Fellow short stack David Blake in the four seat mentioned he had folded pocket deuces and Caroll replied "not like that.”
