Level 23 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Eric Colvin
Eric Colvin

Eric Colvin had just lost the majority of his stack to Jesse Jones the previous hand, so when Andre Allen opened to 175,000 preflop, he moved all in for a total of 315,000.

Action back around to Allen who made the call, putting Colvin at risk of elimination.

Eric Colvin: A?9?
Andre Allen: 5?5?

Colvin needed some help to catch up to Allen's pocket fives, but the board was not his friend as came K?10?7?2?6? to award Allen the pot. Colvin was sent to the payout desk in 11th place for a prize of $7,946.

Moradi Pulls it Off on Scary Board

Level 23 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Iman Alsaden opened to 110,000 under-the-gun and was called by Jason Brin in the cutoff and Saied Moradi in the small blind.

The flop came out K?Q?A? and Alsaden continued for 225,000 after a check from Moradi. Brin was in the tank for a brief stint before deciding to let it go but Moradi decided to come along.

On the turn, both players went check-check and went straight to the river 9?.

Moradi then moved all in for over 3,000,000, vastly covering Alsaden's stack of 525,000, and sent her into the tank.

After several long and painful minutes, Alsaden slid her cards into the muck to award the large pot to Moradi.

"I don't even want to see it," Alsaden sighed, but Moradi went ahead and showed her the A?2? for just a pair of aces.

"I folded a set of kings there, well-played sir." Alsaden tapped the table, "I was trying to find a call there so bad, if I had the king of diamonds I was snap-calling," she shook her head as the dealer dealt out the next hand.

Scott Duncan was in the big blind for 40,000 when he decided to ship the rest of his stack of 120,000 after Matthew Snook and Cyrus Khorram limped in.

Scott Duncan: 10?4?
Matthew Snook: A?7?

Snook was a favorite with his ace-high, and the board of 6?A?Q?K?Q? gave him the flush to eliminate Duncan in 13th place for a payout of $6,332.

Tyson Langly: 8?8?
Iman Alsaden: A?A?

Dakotah O'Dell Eliminated in 15th Place ($6,332)

Level 22 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Dakotah O'Dell
Dakotah O'Dell

After a preflop betting war, Dakotah O'Dell and chip leader Saied Moradi got it all in the middle, with O'Dell at risk.

Dakotah O'Dell: K?K?
Saied Moradi: A?A?

The table let out a collective groan as the classic cooler was revealed, with O'Dell on the short-end of the stick.

The board ran out 10?3?9?A?9? leaving O'Dell dead on the turn and the river was just overkill as it gave Moradi the top full house to eliminate O'Dell in 15th place.

Moradi is now the mega chip leader with around 3,775,000.

Joseph Maggio: 7?7?
Casey Henry: K?K?
