Level 23 : 8,000/15,000, 0 ante

Vladimir Shchemelev raised in the cutoff and Francesco Barbaro and Humberto Brenes called from the blinds. The flop was all clubs as it rolled out {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and Barbaro led out. Brenes called and Shchemelev got out of the way as the players saw the {2-Diamonds} turn. The action went check bet call and the {6-Diamonds} hit the river. Both players checked and revealed their hands. Barbaro held {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for a jack high flush. Brenes showed {9-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs} for two pair and Barbaro scooped.

Ryan Lenaghan Eliminated in 11th Place ($15,484)

Level 23 : 8,000/15,000, 0 ante
Ryan Lenaghan
Ryan Lenaghan

Ryan Lenaghan was all in on a flop of {K-Spades}{8-Spades}{10-Diamonds} against Richard Monroe in a three-way three-bet pot with the third player folding when Monroe fired out. Lenaghan moved all in and Monroe called.

Lenaghan: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Monroe: {A-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{3-Hearts}

The {Q-Spades} turn sealed Lenaghan's doom and the {8-Hearts} was meaningless. We're now down to one table and the players are moving across to the feature table on the other side of the room.

Chip counts and the seat draw to follow.

Monroe Shortened

Level 23 : 8,000/15,000, 0 ante

Richard Monroe fired 15,000 on a flop of {2-Spades}{4-Spades}{A-Hearts} against Kostas Kalathakis and was called to see a {8-Hearts} turn. Monroe bet 30,000 and Kalathakis raised to 60,000, Monroe called and then called another bet on the {4-Hearts} river. Kalathakis turned over {A-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs} for the flopped wheel (plus steel wheel draw). Monroe looks to only have around 100,000 remaining now.

Level 23 : 8,000/15,000, 0 ante
Humberto Brenes
Humberto Brenes

Matthew Waxman raised from under the gun and Humberto Brenes called on the button. Bradley Helm joined them from the big blind as they saw a flop of {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. Helm checked, Waxman bet and Brenes raised. Helm got out of the way and Waxman just called. The {J-Clubs} turn went check check. Waxman bet the {10-Diamonds} river and Brenes just called. Waxman showed {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades} for a full house and Brenes mucked. Waxman was up to 830,000 after the hand while Brenes was down to 125,000.

Shortly after, Vladimir Shchemelev raised and Brenes made it three bets which got called. The flop came {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{2-Spades} and it went check bet call. The {K-Spades} was checked around and the players saw a free {7-Clubs} river. Shchemelev bet and when he got called by Brenes, he immediately mucked. Brenes showed {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} to win the pot.

Shortly after that, the board was {4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{9-Spades}{A-Spades} and Francesco Barbaro checked. Shchemelev led out and was called by Brenes while Barbaro folded. Shchemelev bet when the {6-Diamonds} hit the turn and was called once more by Brenes. Shchemelev showed {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs}, Brenes {A-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. Shchemelev��s full house and low were good for three quarters of the pot.
