With about 1,000,000 in the pot and the board reading {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{a-Hearts}, Justas Vaiciulionis bet 375,000 from the hijack after Richard Gryko checked from the big blind. Gryko then check-raised to 1,175,000, and Vaiciulionis called. The river was the {5-Hearts}, and Gryko bet 3,140,000. Vaiciulionis mucked his hand.

Travis Lutes Eliminated in 36th Place ($214,913)

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante
Travis Lutes
Travis Lutes

Benjamin Pollak opened to 360,000 in the cutoff. Travis Lutes shoved for 1,560,000 in the small blind. Big blind Valentin Messina re-raised to 2,900,000. That made Pollak fold {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} face-up.

Lutes: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Messina: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs} flop missed Lutes but left him with a couple of outs to chop. The {q-Hearts} turn was a brick, as was the {7-Diamonds} river.

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante
Marcel Luske
Marcel Luske

David Guay raised to 500,000 on the button, and Marcel Luske defended his big blind.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. Luske checked, and Guay bet 450,000. Luske quickly called. The turn was the {4-Spades}, and both players checked to the {2-Diamonds} on the river. Luske led out for 900,000, and Guay asked, "Are you serious?" He went into the tank for about a minute and eventually called.

Luske tabled {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a pair of tens, and Guay mucked.

"Bad Turn, Good River"

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Valentin Messina raised to 425,000 from the cutoff, and Scott Blumstein three-bet to 1,330,000 from the button. Messina gave him a stare but elected to fold.

In the second hand back from the break over on Table 724, Jonas Mackoff moved all in, and Blumstein asked for a rough count but folded rather quickly. Once the action was on Scott Stewart, he asked for an exact count, and Mackoff was all in for 2,110,000. Stewart called, and the cards were turned over.

Jonas Mackoff: {A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Scott Stewart: {A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

"Close one. With ace-ten, I guess you snap-call," Mackoff said, and Stewart nodded.

The {J-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop provided chop outs, but the {5-Clubs} was not a good card for Mackoff. The {4-Diamonds} river secured the split pot, and Mackoff said, "Bad turn, good river."

Michael Ruane
Michael Ruane

Michael Ruane raised to 500,000 from early position, and Ben Lamb defended his big blind.

They checked to the turn of the {K-Spades}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts} board, where Lamb bet 625,000. Ruane called, and the {8-Hearts} river completed the board. Lamb checked, and Ruane checked behind.

Lamb showed {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for a missed straight draw, while Ruane tabled {k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for kings and nines to win the pot.

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante
Matt Bond
Matt Bond

Action folded to Richard Gryko in middle position, and he opened the action to 450,000. Matt Bond was in the cutoff and moved all in for 3,235,000. Action went back to Gryko, and he called.

Richard Gryko: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Matt Bond: {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}

Bond was in a flip for his tournament life. The flop was {a-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{5-Spades}, and Gryko took the lead. The turn was the {q-Diamonds}, and Bond was down to a final card to stay alive. The river was the {3-Hearts}, and Gryko took it down, eliminating Matt Bond in 35th place.
