Jeremy Menard Eliminated in 13th Place ($18,352)

Level 22 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Jeremy Menard
Jeremy Menard

Hand 1:

Jan Bednar limped in on the button, and Angel Guillen came along in the small blind. Jeremy Menard shoved for 530,000 from the big blind, Bednar called off his last 500,000, and Guillen folded.

Jan Bednar: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Jeremy Menard: {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Bednar's sneaky pair of kings had Menard in a world of hurt. Menard found a little hope on the {6-Hearts}{2-Spades}{10-Clubs} flop, but improved no further on the {8-Clubs} turn and {4-Diamonds} river to leave himself with just 30,000.

Hand 2:

Angel Guillen limped in on the button, and Menard put his last 30,000 in from the small blind. Demosthenes Kiriopoulos raised to 150,000 in the big blind, then folded when Guillen jammed.

Jeremy Menard: {k-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Angel Guillen: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

"Quadruple up, let's go!" Menard said. He bricked the {3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{j-Clubs} flop, and although the {4-Hearts} turn gave him some additional outs with a gutshot straight draw, the {10-Spades} river left him just short of the two table redraw.

Barzantny Chops Down De Silva a Bit

Level 22 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Upeshka De Silva bet 55,000 from under the gun on {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Wojtek Barzantny made it 160,000 to go from the button. De Silva peeled and the river was an {a-Spades}. De Silva came out betting with 85,000 and Barzantny was having none of it, raising again, this time to 375,000.

De Silva thought awhile then called but couldn't beat {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}.

Kyle Cartwright raise to 50,000 and Jonathan Proudfoot defended big blind. Proudfoot check-called 60,000 on the {j-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} flop then 105,000 more on the {3-Spades} turn. The {3-Diamonds} paired the board and Proudfoot checked a final time. Cartwright barreled away for 330,000, and Proudfoot went deep into the tank.

After thinking for several minutes, he waved the white flag.

De Silva Takes Round Two of the Battle of the Blinds

Level 22 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Upeshka De Silva limped in from the small blind, and Wojtek Barzantny raised to 95,000 in the big blind. Unlike last time, where De Silva ripped it in, he elected to just call.

Both players checked to the river of a {4-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{8-Spades}{k-Clubs} board, where De Silva bombed it for 320,000. Barzantny quickly folded.

Barzantny Doubles Through De Silva

Level 22 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Wojtek Barzantny
Wojtek Barzantny

Upeshka De Silva limped in from the small blind, and Wojtek Barzantny popped it up to 90,000 in the big blind. De Silva jammed to put Barzantny at risk for his last 620,000, and he quickly placed a stack of chips in the middle to call.

Wojtek Barzantny: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Upeshka De Silva: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}

Barzantny stayed safe on the {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop, but De Silva picked up a flush draw on the {5-Spades} turn. The {9-Diamonds} river kept Barzantny's Big Slick in front, and he doubled up.

Sandeep Pulusani Eliminated in 14th Place ($18,352)

Level 22 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Sandeep Pulusani
Sandeep Pulusani

Josh Weiss raised to 50,000 on the button, Upeshka De Silva made it 185,000 in the small blind and Sandeep Pulusani shoved all in after some thought in the big, for 350,000 or so. Weiss quickly folded and De Silva called, tabling {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}.

Pulusani was dominated with {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. The {q-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{3-Hearts} meant he needed one of De Silva's jacks, but instead the {10-Spades} arrived to give De Silva a straight. The {2-Clubs} bricked off on the river and Pulusani told everyone "good game" as he headed to payouts.

Veerab Zakarian: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Thomas Cazayous: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Zakarian flopped a gutshot with {3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, but improved no further on the {8-Diamonds} turn or {j-Hearts} river to bust.
