Hand #28 - Lex Veldhuis

Vitaly Lunkin has the button. Lex Veldhuis opened from the cutoff with a raise to 220,000. It folded to Alec Torelli in the small blind who took some time contemplating his decision. Torelli counted out some chips as he eyed Veldhuis' stack. Finally, Torelli folded.

Hand #27 - Greg Raymer Doubles Through Isaac Haxton

666=5.8million
666=5.8million
Dani Stern has the button in Seat 8. Isaac Haxton raises to 225,000 and Greg Raymer makes the call. The flop comes down {9-Spades} {6-Hearts} {5-Spades} and Haxton checks. Raymer bets 400,000, Haxton moves all in and Raymer calls all in for 2,590,000. Haxton has him covered.

Raymer {6-Clubs} {6-Diamonds}
Haxton {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}

Raymer is miles ahead of Haxton's overpair with a set of sixes. The turn is the {5-Hearts}, the river is the {K-Diamonds}, and Raymer earns a massive double-up to nearly 5.82 million.

Hand #25 - Noah Schwartz Eliminated in 8th Place ($246,834)

Noah Schwartz - 8th Place

Justin Bonomo has the button. Noah Schwartz moved all in from early position for 1,055,000. It folded to Greg Raymer who reraised all in, and the others folded.

Schwartz {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Raymer {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}

Pocket aces weren't working too well for Raymer yesterday -- he lost twice with them, then on a third hand Ted Forrest had aces as well, and he chopped the pot. But he appeared to be in good shape against Schwartz's hand here.

The flop came {8-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{7-Hearts}, and Raymer was still well ahead. The turn was the {5-Clubs}, meaning the {2-Diamonds} no longer mattered. Schwartz goes out in 8th place, earning $246,834. After that hand, Raymer moves up to 2.83 million.

Haxton calls. Veldhuis checks the {2-Hearts} on the turn and Haxton bets 500,000. Veldhuis folds and Haxton wins the pot.
