Driscoll Loses a Classic Flip

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Theodore Driscoll got the last of his 160,000 chips in pre-flop against Ulrich Schnetter who had him just covered. Driscoll had pocket queens and Schnetter had ace-king. Unfortunately for Driscoll the board spiked a pair for Schnetter and there was no queen in sight, eliminating the 2014 Little One for One Drop runner-up in 33rd place.

Double Elimination For Dylan Horton

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Justin Conley raised to 18,000 from under the gun, Kyle Frey called, and Chad Layne moved all in for 180,000. Action folded to Dylan Hortin, in the big blind, who moved all in for over 800,000. Conley folded, and Frey called, making it a three-way all-in with Frey and Layne at risk.

Layne: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Frey: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Hortin: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

The board ran out {k-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{k-Spades}, and Hortin's aces held to eliminate two players.
