Rich Dixon opened to 9,000 from under the gun and was three-bet by Zach Gutierrez on the button to 24,000. Dixon called.

The flop came {6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and Dixon checked. Gutierrez went all in for around 70,000 and Dixon instantly called.

Zach Gutierrez: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Rich Dixon: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

Dixon found himself making the correct call for a pile of chips, just needing to fade the last two eights in the deck on the turn and the river. The turn came {10-Hearts} and the river {4-Hearts} fell behind it and he shipped the pot, sending Gutierrez home for the evening in 11th place.

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Danny Gonzales

Steve Wilkie was just seen standing up away from the table with no chips in front of the seat he previously occupied. He was gracious enough to recount the hand:

"I open {a-}{a-} to 11,000 from the button and Danny (Gonzales) three-bet me (from the small blind) to 11,000. I went all in for 90,000 and (Gonzales) called with {7-}{7-}. Flop {7-}."

Gonzales found himself on the favorable end of the runout after flopping a set of sevens, sending the Main Event co-champion home with a few eliminations to go until the unofficial final table of nine is reached.

Itoafa Sent Home by Dixon

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Mike Itoafa
Mike Itoafa

Mike Itoafa was just eliminated from the tournament in an all-in preflop situation. According to a player at the table, he went all in for around 50,000 from the cutoff and was called by Rich Dixon, who was on the button.

Mike Itoafa: {a-}{3-}
Rich Dixon: {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

The flop came {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{j-Spades} to give Itoafa a pair of aces. However, the turn {10-Diamonds} and river {j-Diamonds} gave Dixon a backdoor flush which was good for the pot as Iotafa was left with nothing but dust.

Heine Escapes With More Than a Double

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante
Thomas Heine
Thomas Heine

Chips were in the process of being counted out as Thomas Heine had scooped a massive, three-way all in. According to Samuel Uhlmann, he opened to 5,500 from the cutoff and was called by Mitch Lekarczyk out of the small blind. Heine three-bet all in and Uhlmann shoved over the top. Lekarczyk called all in for the less and the three hands were turned up.

Thomas Heine: {9-Spades}{3-Clubs}
Samuel Uhlmann: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Mitch Lekarczyk: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The flop fell {8-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} to give Uhlmann a set of tens, putting him in the lead with two knockouts in his sights. However, the turn {j-Spades} gave Heine a straight. This left Lekarczyk drawing to a nine for a three-way chop and Uhlmann needing the board to pair to fill up beyond Heine’s straight. The river was a safe {2-Hearts} and Heine took the entire pot, with Lekarczyk being eliminated in the process.
