Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante
Gavin O'Rourke - 18th Place
Gavin O'Rourke - 18th Place

All in before the flop Gavin O'Rourke was the player at risk but with the best hand and he faced off against Jason Orrell.

Jason Orrell: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Gavin O'Rourke: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

The flop of {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Spades} drew gasps from the rail and the table as Orrell spiked a set. The turn {j-Hearts} and river {k-Hearts} confirmed O’Rourke’s unlucky exit.

Ardavan Yazdi Triples His Microstack

Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

John Hanna raised to 350,000 from early position and Ardavan Yazdi called all in from the small blind for a total of 120,000. The big blind folded and Hanna and Yazdi tabled their hands.

Hanna showed {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Yazdi flipped over one card at a time to reveal {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}.

The flop fell {Q-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, giving Hanna the nut flush draw, although Yazdi's pair was still best. The {Q-Clubs} on the turn changed nothing, and the {5-Clubs} on the river gave Yazdi fives full of queens to effectively more than triple his stack, although he's still extremely short.

Justin Gish Eliminated in 17th Place ($38,510)

Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante
Justin Gish - 17th Place
Justin Gish - 17th Place

Justin Gish moved all in for 1,445,000 and, having got a count, Erkut Yilmaz called from the button.

Kent Coppock was in the small mind and he pondered the flat call from Yilmaz before letting his hand go.

Erkut Yilmaz: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}
Justin Gish: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

The board ran out {3-Spades}{q-Spades}{j-Hearts}{j-Spades}{4-Clubs} to eliminate Gish.

Coppock had a chuckle that Yilmaz had found the aces and had tried to set him up for a trap.
