Huge Double Up for Pardo on the Bubble

Level 14 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Ali Imsirovic announced all in from the cutoff and Juan Pardo gave it some thought before making the call for his stack of 599,000 on the button. The blinds quickly folded and the cards were on their backs.

Juan Pardo: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Ali Imsirovic: {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}

It turned out to be a coin flip and the board ran out {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} to ensure Pardo of a double up and the hand-for-hand process continued.

Soyza Eliminated; Tournament on Money Bubble

Level 14 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Michael Soyza
Michael Soyza

Ali Imsirovic checked a {2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{q-Spades} board over to Michael Soyza who bet 40,000. Imsirovic check-raised to 175,000 and Soyza called.

The river was the {k-Diamonds}. Imsirovic moved all in and Soyza flicked out one time extension ahead of what appeared like a lengthy tank. However, barely 15 seconds into his second time bank Soyza called for his last 400,000.

"Fives?" said Imsirovic showing {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}

Soyza showed {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} for a rivered top pair and was eliminated.

"Naughty, naughty," said tablemate Kahle Burns to Imsirovic. "You look like a guy that's up to mischief."

Hand-for-Hand

Level 14 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

With just two eliminations away from the money, the action at each of the tables has slowed dramatically. The tournament directors have deemed that one table is playing significantly slower than the other and thus the hand-for-hand portion of the tournament will now commence.

Lim Finds a Double Up

Level 14 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Chin Wei Lim shoved all in from middle position for 345,000 and Louis Nyberg asked for a count on the button. Nyberg made the call and the blinds both folded.

Chin Wei Lim: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Louis Nyberg: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

The flop of {k-Hearts}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} left Lim in the lead with his pocket queens. The {8-Hearts} on the turn and the {4-Hearts} on the river changed nothing and Nyberg sent over a double up.

Greenwoods Battle It Out

Level 14 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Sam Greenwood ripped all in for 158,000 from under the gun and the action folded to his brother Luc in the big blind who made the call.

Luc Greenwood: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Sam Greenwood: {a-Spades}{5-Clubs}

Luc was in a dominating position but the flop of {5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} put Sam in the lead with a pair of fives. However, the {j-Diamonds} on the turn put Luc back out front and he held on through the {4-Spades} river to eliminate Sam.
