Four More Fall

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Anthony Ezman open-jammed for around 90,000 under the gun after the new level began, and he saw Richard Bolden re-jam for 275,000. One player behind went into the tank for a bit, but there were ultimately no other takers.

Ezman showed {k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}.

"Racin'!" said Bolden, tabling {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}.

The runout came {9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}, with the nine coming in the window to leave Ezman thin. His chances at a backdoor straight were crushed on the turn, and he was eliminated as a result.

During his hand, numerous other empty seats were called for, with David McKim and Minhoe Fan also falling from adjacent tables. Moments later, Papa Karn also found the payout desk after his pocket eights were bested by a rivered straight.

The four rapid-fire eliminations bring the field down to 29 only a handful of minutes into Level 21.

Cornelius Leaves Carter With "A Chip and a Chair"

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

After being down to 40,000, JW Carter spun his stack back up to 165,000 and got it all in preflop in early position against RunGood Ambassador Julie Cornelius, who had 164,000.

Cornelius: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Carter: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}

Though Carter hit an ace on the flop {a-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}, Cornelius also found a five. She then found another one on the turn {5-Hearts} to make quads, with the river {2-Hearts} finishing the runout.

"A chip and a chair," she encouraged Carter as the pot was made right. Unfortunately for Carter, he was eliminated moments later, and the field now

More Fireworks from Table 22

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

The same table that has numerous cooler-level all ins during the last hour just erupted from yet another pot in which stacks got into the middle.

Jon Swift opened under the gun and action folded around to the big blind, where Matt Stahl defended to bring a flop of {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}. Stahl checked, Swift continuation-bet, Stahl check-raised, and Swift three-bet jammed. Stahl called and hands were tabled with over 750K in the middle.

Stahl: {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Swift: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Stahl's bottom set was up against Swift's top two pair and needed to fade the board pairing. The turn {9-Spades} was safe, but the river {j-Diamonds} improved Swift to the nut boat and scored him the pot and the knockout.

Smith Wins Two Big All Ins

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Hand #1: Danny Smith was just seen collecting a full double with his winning hand of {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts} displayed on a board of {7-Hearts}{9-Spades}{a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{2-Hearts}. Smith was in the big blind and re-jammed for a little over 10 big blinds over an open from JW Carter in the cutoff. Carter called with {a-}{j-}-offsuit and his top pair was bested by Smith's top two pair.

Hand #2: Two hands Later, Smith raised on the button and Shannon Hamblen announced he was all in for 138,000 in the big blind. Smith called before Hamblen could finish sliding his own stack forward.

Hamblen: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Smith: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

The runout came {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{j-Hearts}, with Hamblen reaching over to his tablemate and extending a fist to pound as the turn left him drawing dead. Meanwhile, Smith doubled and then scored a knockout within a three-hand period and is now over 600K with 37 players remaining.

Bogdanovecz Busted In Brutal Fashion

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action folded to Brock McCoy on the button and he opened, with Brent Bogdanovecz re-jamming in the small blind. McCoy called.

Bogdanovecz: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
McCoy: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}

The flop {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs} gave Bogdanovecz one of the two outs he would need to double, but he wasn't out of the woods yet as the turn {j-Spades} added two more counterfeit outs to the total he needed to sweat. The river then fell {q-Hearts} behind, causing the table to erupt as yet another all-in hand concluded with McCoy re-improving to queens full.

Bogdanovecz's stack was counted to be 181,000, just shy of McCoy's 199,000, and he was eliminated from the tournament as a result.

Stahl Lands on the Right Side of the Coin

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

John McNeil limped in from early position and action folded around to Brock McCoy on the button, who also limped. Brent Bogdanovecz completed his small blind and then Matt Stahl announced he was all in.

"Call," said McNeil immediately thereafter, and the other two players folded.

Stahl: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}
McNeil: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Stahl's jacks remained best on a runout of {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, making a full house to score the double and leave McNeil with just five big blinds.
