And Seif Rolls On

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Greg Seif can't be stopped. On this latest hand, he flopped the nut flush and got some value for it.

Seif limped from middle position and Ryan Perez called from the small blind. Kyle Adams was in the big blind and checked his option.

The flop came {a-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Spades} and Perez checked. Adams made it 18,000 and Seif called. Perez folded, leaving Seif heads up with Adams to the turn.

The turn was the {4-Diamonds} and both players checked. The river was the {2-Clubs} and Adams led out for 34,000. Seif asked how much the bet was, and then shoved all in. Adams didn't take too long to fold and Seif stacked more chips.

Zal Irani Defends Big Blind, Brian Zupancich Eliminated in 26th Place ($2,564)

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Zal Irani
Zal Irani

Brian Zupancich shoved all in from the cutoff into Zal Irani's big blind. Irani called with {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and was behind against Zupancich's {a-}{8-}.

The dealer dealt out the flop face down and when he turned it over, the top card was the {q-Spades}. He hesitated for a second, seeming to let it linger a little before revealing the rest of the {q-Spades}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop. The rest of the board ran out {8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and that was the end of Zupancich's day.

Greg Seif
Greg Seif

Greg Seif was sitting at 30,000 right around the time the bubble burst. He is now up to 365,000 after winning several hands in a row.

On this hand, Marius Toderici raised preflop to 18,000. Seif called from the cutoff and the two players would see the flop heads up.

The flop was {4-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Toderici bet 24,000. Seif called quickly. The turn was the {2-Clubs} and Toderici checked. Seif shoved without much of a thought. Toderici had to take a few minutes before finally folding.

Thorne's Bigger Flush Knocks Out Hariu

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Shane Thorne and Jeff Hariu got it all in and they both had flushes.

Hariu had the smaller flush and would have had the straight flush redraw, except that Thorne had his straight flush out the {9-Hearts}.

The play has gone pretty fast and the eliminations are coming even faster. There are now 27 players left and the redraw has been completed.
