Koon Eliminates Benitez

Level 13 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

We didn't see whether the money went in preflop or post, but it was the {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} of Francisco Benitez in the big blind against the {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{5-Spades} of Jason Koon. The flop was {10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, a great one for Koon, and no further help emerged for Benitez.

Goya Eliminated

Level 11 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Dante Goya potted in the small blind and called a repot from "Justbc0fU." Goya shoved his last 624K in on {8-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and received a call.

Goya: {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Justbc0fU: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Goya was in good shape to dub with the leading pair plus draw. However, the {2-Diamonds} turn brought equities closer and Justbc0fU got there with the {q-Hearts} on the river.

Billard Can't Fade "jochee"

Level 11 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Francois Billard raised in the cutoff and called a three-bet from small blind Joachim "jochee" Haraldstad to 920,000. On the {4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, Haraldstad set Billard in for 901K and the Canadian was only too happy to call with {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}{10-Clubs}{10-Spades} for top set.

Haraldstad showed {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for a pair plus diamonds. The {a-Hearts} turn added some more outs, and the {9-Diamonds} river got him there.

Freeroll Hits for Koon

Level 10 : 35,000/70,000, 8,500 ante

On a flop of {2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}, Jason Koon and Alexander "xBGx" Fitasov got it in for 1.6 million apiece with Koon at risk.

Koon: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Fitasov: {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs}

Both players had top two but Koon had overcards to give him a shot at bigger two pair. He didn't hit on the {5-Diamonds} turn but the {j-Diamonds} river was the ticket.
