Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Young Phan
Young Phan

Jordan Young raised to 50,000 from early position, and Young Phan moved all in for 224,000 from the cutoff. Young thought for a moment before Phan said, "Your last name is the same as my first name." Young laughed and eventually called.

Phan said, "Blackjack" as he tabled {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}. Young turned over the {3-Clubs} first, and eventually rolled over the {j-Clubs}.

The flop came {j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}, pairing both players, but Phan was still ahead with an ace kicker. "I need the four of clubs" said Young. The turn was the {q-Clubs} and the entire table gasped as Young picked up a flush draw. The river was the {5-Clubs} and Young got there, sending Phan to the rail in 12th place.

Joseph Brattole

Pocket kings are the death of Joseph Brattole's tournament life. Brattole called an all-in bet from Matthew Mlsna for 290,000 and was in a dominating position. Brattole held {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} vs Mlsna's {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}. The board ran out {8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and Mlsna was able to find a nine on the turn to run over Brattole's kings.

Brattole was left with only 26,000 chips and was all in the very next hand with the {K-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. Mlsna isolated the other players from the pot to get heads up as he held {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}. Brattole wasn't able to connect with the board was sent to the cash cage in 13th place.

Marquis Mccain Hits an Ace from Space

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Marquis Mccain was under the gun and open-shipped his stack of 426,000 only to be called by Billy Rodgers in the small blind.

Marquis showed {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} and had an anguished look on his face when he saw the {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} from Rodgers. However, the flop fell {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{2-Spades} giving Mccain the lead. He was able to fade the last king in the deck on the turn and the river to score a double-up.

Ivan Starostin

Ivan Starostin shipped all in from the cutoff for 126,000 and Roman Korenev called from the button. Starostin would need some help as his {3-Spades}{3-Hearts} was behind Korenev's {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}.

The board ran out {J-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{7-Spades}{K-Hearts} and Starostin could not catch a three to stay alive, and thus finishes in 14th.
