"Sally_os" Eliminated in 6th Place

Level 11 : 200/400, 50 ante

Fabrizio "DrMiKee" Gonzalez just won a massive pot from "sally_os", when the players got all the money in on a {J-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop. Gonzalez held {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} for the nut flushdraw with overcards, while "sally_os" had flopped bottom two pair with {6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}.

The {K-Clubs} on the turn gave Gonzalez three additional outs, and the river completed the flush for the Uruguay player, putting him in a demanding chip position. "Sally_os" on the other hand was on the brink of elimination with less than a small blind left.

The very next hand the latvian player busted, after being forced in from the small blind. The {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades} of Gonzalez proved too strong for the {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} of the shortstack, and "sally_os" was sent to the rail.

First Bubble of the Night

Level 10 : 150/300, 40 ante

With the elimination of "GangstaGo", we have reached the first bubble of the night. The next to hit the rail in this Champion of Champions Event will be awarded a tournament ticket worth $160, while the rest will be guaranteed a tournament ticket worth $600.

The next bubble will be reached with 4 players remaining, as the top 3 are all receiving packages for the 2017 World Series of Poker.

"GangstaGo" Eliminated in 7th Place

Level 10 : 150/300, 40 ante

Ukrainian player "GanstaGo" raised to 600 from under the gun before "trojanmouse" made it 2,530 total on the button. "GangstaGo" moved all-in for 1,795 more, and his opponent made the call.

"GangstaGo": {K-Clubs}{10-Spades}
"Trojanmouse": {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

The eights were a slight favourite, and neither the {7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop, nor the {5-Clubs} turn or the {A-Clubs} river changed that, and "GangstaGo" was eliminated in 7th place.

"Makuherra" Eliminated in 8th Place

Level 9 : 125/250, 30 ante

"Makuherra" raised it up to 500 from middle position and after Fabrizio "DrMiKee" Gonzalez made the call in the small blind, Canada's "Mindcrushers" reraised to 2,240 from the big blind. "Makuherra" responded with an all-in, and while Gonzalez' hand hit the muck, the Canadian made the call.

"Makuherra": {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
"Mindcrushers": {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}

The {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop offered no help to the player at risk, but the {7-Diamonds} on the turn gave "Makuherra" a flushdraw to go with the three live queens. The river was a blank {3-Hearts}, and "Makuherra" exited the tournament while "Mindcrushers" dragged the pot
