Mike Matusow
Mike Matusow

Mike Matusow raised to 175,000 under the gun and Joshua Ray called in the big blind. Ray then moved all in on the Q27 flop, and Matusow called for his last 175,000.

Mike Matusow: AJ862 All in
Joshua Ray: A10994

Matusow couldn't connect with the Q turn or 5 river, and Ray's two pair and low earned him the scoop to send Matusow to the rail in 14th place.

Kupin Gets Shove Through; Furth Overtakes Soverel

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Aaron Kupin raised to 100,000 in the hijack. Daniel Aharoni called on the button, and the duo went to a 974 flop. Kupin checked before he called Aharoni's bet of 325,000.

The 3 turn then prompted Kupin to move all in for 765,000. Aharoni gave it some thought, but ultimately folded to concede the pot.

At the other table, Sam Soverel raised to 150,000 under the gun. Bruno Furth called in the cutoff, and William Kerkaert followed suit in the small blind.

It checked to Furth on the 467 flop, who fired a bet of 225,000. Kerkaert folded before Soverel called. The 4 turn was then checked through to the 2 river, where Soverel led out for 750,000.

Furth quickly called, and he received three-quarters of the pot with A9563 for a flush and the nut low as Soverel only had the same low with A10983.

Troha Left Short After Getting Quartered

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Three-way to a 10K3 flop, the action checked to Doug Lorgeree on the button, who bet 225,000. Sean Troha then moved all in for 900,000 from the big blind, quickly folding out James Obst in middle position.

Lorgeree, however, called without too much thought, revealing the cards.

Sean Troha: AK10QJ All in
Doug Lorgeree: AK1052

The 74 runout ensured both players remained with kings and tens with an ace kicker for the high, but Lorgeree had made a runner-runner low to take three-quarters of the pot.

William Kerkaert raised to 140,000 under the gun and David Benyamine potted to 840,000 in the small blind. Taylor Atchison called for his last 630,000, while Kerkaert also called.

Benyamine then shoved for 500,000 on the K28 flop, and Kerkaert called all in for less.

Taylor Atchison: AQ954 All in
William Kerkaert: A9932 All in
David Benyamine: AQQ54

The board ran out 52, and Benyamine ended up with the nut flush to take the high, while Kerkaert won the low to chop the pot and send Atchison to the rail in 15th place.

James Obst

Doug Lorgeree raised to 100,000 in middle position. Small blind James Obst three-bet to 340,000, which Lorgeree called.

Obst continued with a bet of 265,000 on the 5KJ flop and quickly called when Lorgeree put him all in for 680,000 more.

James Obst: AQ1072 All in
Doug Lorgeree: AQ943

Obst had flopped the nuts against Lorgeree's second nuts. The 10 made the Q river inconsequential as Obst was awarded a big double-up.

Nick Schulman raised to 90,000 in the hijack and Viktor Blom reraised to 310,000 in the small blind. Schulman called, and Blom then moved all in for 550,000 on the 25Q flop. Schulman snap-called to put him at risk.

Viktor Blom: AAQ85 All in
Nick Schulman: AQJ32

Blom was ahead with two pair as the turn came the 10, but the 7 river gave Schulman a flush to send Blom to the rail in 16th place.

Brandt Busts Before Final Two Tables

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Lawrence Brandt
Lawrence Brandt

Sam Soverel raised to 120,000 in the small blind, seeing big blind Lawrence Brandt defend. Soverel continued with a bet of 280,000 on the 963 flop, to which Brandt responded by moving all in for 525,000.

Soverel laughed a bit, but decided he could not fold and called off.

Lawrence Brandt: AKJ95 All in
Sam Soverel: AQ775

Both players had the same low draw, but it never came into play as Soverel hit a runner-runner flush on the 310 runout to eliminate Brandt in 17th.
