Frank Bonacci Doubles Through Cody Slaubaugh

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Frank Bonacci got his entire 171,000-chip stack into the middle before the flop against Cody Slaubaugh, who had him well covered, and the two players tabled their hands.

Bonacci: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades}
Slaubaugh: {8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades}

The {Q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop gave Slaubaugh a world of outs to crack Bonacci's aces, but neither the {9-Spades} on the turn nor the {K-Diamonds} on the river was any help to Slaubaugh, and Bonacci's aces held for the double-up.

"That was a premium flop," said Slaubaugh as he tossed his cards into the muck.

Jim Hademenos Busts With Aces

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Jim Hademenos opened for 50,000 and got one call from Jessie Bryant on the button.

The flop was {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}.

“Pot,” said Hademenos. “Pot,” said Bryant, and the chips went in.

Jim Hademenos: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Jessie Bryant: {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

The turn card was the {8-Spades}, and the {j-Spades} river completed the board, and Bryant made a flush to send Hademenos packing.

Hunter Cichy Eliminated By JC Tran

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

The flop was {4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, and JC Tran bet 60,000, which got a fold from one opponent, but Hunter Cichy responded by potting it. Tran re-potted, and Cichy was all in and at risk.

Hunter Cichy: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}
JC Tran: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades}

The turn was the {q-Diamonds} and the river the {j-Hearts} to give Tran the lock with a flush to bust Cichy.

Yves Kupfermunz Back-Raises

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Yves Kupfermunz limped from under the gun, Cody Slaubaugh called from middle position, the player in the cutoff called as well, and the button tossed out 95,000. The blinds both folded, and Kupfermunz announced, "Pot," which was enough to put most of his stack in the middle.

Slaubaugh folded, as did the cutoff, and after a few moments of thought, the button also mucked. Kupfermunz showed {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and let out a little laugh as he stacked the chips.

Wing Wong Eliminates James Ray

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

With about 175,000 already in the middle and the board reading {7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, Frank Bonacci bet, Wing Wong shoved, James Ray called to put himself at risk, and Bonacci folded.

Wong: {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}
Ray: {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

Ray had a wrap and needed to improve against Wong's two pair in order to double up. The {A-Spades} on the turn was no help to Ray, and the {4-Spades} river gave Wong a boat to take the pot and send Ray to the cage.
