Roberto Romanello
Roberto Romanello

After biding his time and enduring cold cards for a few hours, Roberto Romanello got it in with {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} against the {a-Spades}{10-Clubs} of Daniel Granov. The board ran out {3-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{a-Hearts} and Granov sent 40,500 across the table to the small blind.

Big Stacks Battle

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Two blinds checked to John Racener in middle position, and he bet 9,000 on a {3-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop. Only big blind Daniel Granov continued. Granov check-called again when Racener downbet 7,900 on the {2-Diamonds}, and both checked the {7-Diamonds}. Granov opened {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Racener mucked.

Soyk Wins in Roundabout Fashion

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Matthew Soyk was in the cutoff and had a shorter-stacked player on the button all in and at risk preflop with {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} against {k-}{q-}. The {q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop helped Soyk's opponent greatly, but running {4-Diamonds} and {4-Clubs} gave Soyk trips and a knockout.

Clinkscales Cooked

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

According to Ryan Leng, Rex Clinkscales shoved the last of his chips in over a late-position open from John Racener and found his {a-}{6-} dominated by {a-}{8-}. Clinkscales found no improvement on the board, and his heroic rise from just a couple of big blinds found its end in the money.

Eilertsen Finds a Six-Ball

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Eilert Eilertsen called off his 21,100 in the big blind after the small blind moved all in preflop. Eilertsen was dominated with {a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} against {a-}{9-} but the board ran out {4-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}, much to the disgust of the small blind. Eilertsen doubled through and someone went bust at another table, so the remaining 27 players are drawing new seats.

Kristen Bicknell
Kristen Bicknell

Kristen Bicknell reportedly lost most of her stack after flopping kings and jacks with {k-}{j-} on {k-}{j-}{q-} against a player with {a-}{k-}. Unfortunately for her, they got stacks in and a queen hit the board, and she was eliminated a short time later.

Unfortunately for Troyanovskiy, a king-high flop hit and he lost all but his last 600, which was forced in the middle the following hand en route to his elimination.
