Jeff Trudeau Jr.
Jeff Trudeau Jr.

Jeff Trudeau was heading to payouts right after the level change. According to Scott Stewart, that's because he defended his big blind with {k-}{k-} and check-raised all in on a {q-}{8-}{7-} flop against Ray Qartomy, who had opened under the gun. Qartomy called with {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and ran backdoor clubs to make a winning flush.

Redraw Time

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Ben Palmer jammed for about 130,000 and Marius Heiene isolated in the small blind and showed {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}. That was fine by Palmer, who held a pair with {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}. Unfortunately for him, the board was all Heiene as it came {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{k-Spades}.

At another table, Justin Saliba also busted. That means with 24 left the remaining players will draw for new seats and everything will move to a specially set up lounge for the final playdown.
