Mark Scacewater Eliminated

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante
Mark Scacewater
Mark Scacewater

Action folded around to the blinds and Luke Vrabel raised from the small. Mark Scacewater three-bet shoved from the big blind, and Vrabel asked in disbelief, "You're all in?" which was quickly followed by an enthusiastic, "I call!"

Scacewater showed {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} and found himself far behind Vrabel's {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}.

When the flop fell {K-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, Vrabel sprung out of his chair and bellowed, "Yes!" at the top of his lungs.

The turn brought the {3-Clubs} and a temporary moment of confused panic for Vrabel, who yelled, "No club! No, wait, he's #%&^* dead!"

The {8-Hearts} fell on the river and Vrabel scooped the pot with a set of kings to eliminate Scacewater.

Raul Martinez Requena: {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

The board ran out {2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades}.

The pair held and with no improvement for Jones it was the end of his Colossal journey.

Yilmaz: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Massey: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}

The board ran out {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Massey doubled up.

Luke Vrabel Talks Hugo Perez Into a Fold

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

Hugo Perez started the action from the hijack with a raise to 260,000 and Luke Vrabel three-bet to 650,000 from the button. Both blinds folded and Perez went into the tank.

"Will you show me if I fold?" asked Perez.

"If you show, I'll show," said Vrabel. "I already know you're folding anyways."

Ultimately, Perez folded {K-}{J-} suited face up, and Vrabel, true to his word, showed {Q-}{J-} offsuit as he took the pot.

Gutsy Call From Jason Orrell

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

The board at the river read {3-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Benjamin Jones had bet 560,000.

Jason Orrell gave the matter some thought before putting out the chips to call. A slight roll of the eyes from Jones led Orrell to promptly turn over his {j-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Jones mucked.

Mark Johnson Eliminated

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante
Mark Johnson Jr
Mark Johnson Jr

Mark Johnson moved all in from middle position for approximately 1,400,000 chips, action folded around to Luke Brereton in the big blind, and he called to put Johnson at risk.

Johnson flipped over {A-Spades}{10-Spades}, but he was trailing Brereton's {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} and needed help to double up. The {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop paired Johnson's ten but did the same for Brereton's queen, and neither the {3-Clubs} turn nor {9-Diamonds} river was any help to Johnson, so he was eliminated.

Michael Telker Short and Out

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante
Michael Telker
Michael Telker

Michael Telker moved all in for 1,180,000 and it folded to small blind John Hanna with the player in the big blind not yet back from break.

Hannah took some before calling and tabling {a-Spades}{k-Spades}.

“Man, I thought I wanted a call,” Telker said flipping over his {a-Hearts}{7-Clubs}.

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}.

“OK. Good luck, guys,” he said as he gathered his belongings.
