Marcos Antunes
Marcos Antunes

Maria Konnikova: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Marcos Carneiro Antunes: {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

The flop came {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and Antunes picked up a flush draw to go with his two undercards to Konnikova's aces.

Chris Moorman Eliminated in 8th Place ($10,640)

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Chris Moorman
Chris Moorman

Chris Moorman raised to 35,000 from early position and Harrison Gimbel three-bet to 105,000 from the big blind. Moorman four-bet shoved and Gimbel quickly called to put Moorman at risk.

Moorman: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
Gimbel: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}

Moorman found himself trailing Gimbel's aces and needed a lot of help from the deck in order to preserve his tournament life. After the board ran out {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}{J-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} Gimbel's hand was still best, so he took the pot to end Moorman's deep run in this event.

Ziskin Comfortably In Front

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

With the average stack being around 45 big blinds, the action has slowed down quite a bit. Throughout the level, there have been a lot of raise and takes, with a few three-bets mixed in.

Alexander Ziskin seems to be just fine with the pace of play as he continues to remain aggressive and pick up small pots. The action folded to Ryan Smith in the hijack who opened to 32,000. Ziskin was on the button and three-bet to 91,000 and Smith called.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}{6-Hearts} and Smith checked to Ziskin who continued for a bet of 100,000. Smith quickly sent his cards to the muck and Ziskin continued to stack chips.
