Pluard was happy to see that she was well-ahead, but that happiness was short-lived after Shak hit a deuce on the flop. Pluard failed to improve on the turn and river and was sent to the rail.

LoriAnn Persinger

Level 15 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Anthony Zinno has been eliminated, but he was nice enough to relay the hand to us that decimated his stack.

Action folded to Omar Zazay and he shoved his last 96,000. Anthony Zinno then shoved from the next seat over for his last 104,000 and the remaining players got out of the way.

Anthony Zinno:
Omar Zazay:

Anthony was well ahead preflop, but things got very interesting on the [QJ9sss] flop as Zazay flopped top pair, top kicker, but Zinno had the redraw to the nutflush and he could still hit his king as well. Unfortunately none of those scenarios happened on the turn or river, and Zazay doubled up and left Zinno with only T8,000 behind and he was eliminated on the very next hand.

Player	Chips	Progress
Omar Zazay	190,000 138,500	138,500
Anthony Zinno	Busted

Chad Holloway

Level 15 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Joseph Cheong opened for 12,000 from early position and Ryan Olisar, who has been on an upward trajectory as of late, called from the hijack. Brent Roberts then moved all in for 72,000 from the big blind, Cheong folded, and Olisar thought for a bit before tossing in a call.

Ryan Olisar:
Brent Roberts:

It was a flip and Roberts was looking to hold to stay alive. Unfortunately for him, that proved easier said than done as the flop paired Olisar. Neither the turn nor river helped Roberts and he made his way to the exit.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ryan Olisar	530,000 280,000	280,000
Brent Roberts	Busted
