No Ace from Space for Hall

Level 30 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Ruth Hall
Ruth Hall

The short-stacked Ruth "BingoCards" Hall moved all in for 31,306 from early position and "Lenny1" isolated by three-betting to 96,000 from the button.

Both blinds folded and the hands were turned up.

Ruth "BingoCards" Hall: {a-Clubs}{4-Spades}
"Lenny1": {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

Hall was way behind and looking for some help, with an ace being the best option.

The {8-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop gave her backdoor straight and flush draws, but the {10-Hearts} turn took them away.

Hall needed an ace and an ace only on the river, but it wasn't in the cards as the {k-Hearts} peeled off instead.

Hall hit the rail in 63rd place for $2,476.98

Level 29 : 10,000/20,000, 2,500 ante
Michael Guzzardi
Michael Guzzardi

Kenneth "ace710" Neri opened for 40,000 from early position and was called by Michael "Mike91680" Guzzardi who was next to ace.

Action folded to "UpBreaker" who three-bet jammed for 110,536 from the hijack, Neri called only to fold after Guzzardi four-bet jammed for 1,494,224.

"UpBreaker": {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}
Michael "Mike91680" Guzzardi: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

It was a race and Guzzardi took the lead after an ace appeared in the window on the {4-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{a-Hearts} flop.

The {7-Clubs} turn didn't change a thing nor did the {q-Spades} river as Guzzardi scooped another pot and eliminated "UpBreaker".

Eric "circleball" Baldwin: {10-Clubs}{j-Spades}

Negreanu Can't Melt Faulkner's Snowmen

Level 28 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Daniel "DNegs" Negreanu raised all in for 87,708 from middle position and Matthew "ChipBandito" Faulkner gave him isolation after he came over the top for 422,814 next to act.

Daniel "DNegs" Negreanu: {a-Clubs}{4-Hearts}
Matthew "ChipBandito" Faulkner: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

Faulkner was ahead with his made hand and nothing changed after the {3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} flop.

The {j-Diamonds} turn was bad for Negreanu as it took away one of his aces and the {9-Diamonds} river gave Faulkner the flush ending Negreanu's tournament in 92nd place for $1,576.26.

Marder Falls After Dirty River

Level 28 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Michael Marder
Michael Marder

James "jerzrep" Nadolski opened under the gun and then called Michael "ParxBigStax" Marder's 48,718 three-bet jam from the small blind.

James "jerzrep" Nadolski: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Michael "ParxBigStax" Marder: {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

Marder was in rough shape until a five appeared in the window on the {j-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop giving him a set.

The {j-Diamonds} paired the board improving Marder's hand to a full house and was looking good until the {j-Spades} dropped on the river counterfeiting his full house.
