Haxton Sliding

Level 30 : 40,000/80,000, 0 ante

Isaac Haxton raised to 192,000 under the gun and Andriy "smbcall911" Lyubovetskiy defended the big blind. Haxton continued small for 104K on the {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{k-Spades} and both players checked the {4-Spades}. On the {5-Spades} river, Lyubovetskiy bet small with 208K and Haxton called but couldn't beat {q-Spades}{j-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for a backdoor flush.

Haxton had {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades}.

Lauri "KarilleMeni" Varonen Eliminated in 7th Place ($52,658)

Level 29 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante
Lauri Varonen
Lauri Varonen

Andriy "smbcall911" Lyubovetskiy opened in the cutoff and Lauri "KarilleMeni" Varonen potted to 510,000 in the small blind. Lyubovetskiy shoved and Varonen called for 280K more.

Varonen: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Lyubovetskiy: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{3-Spades}

Aces against aces and equities remained close on the {8-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} flop as Varonen sought a seven while Lyubovetskiy sought a king. The latter is what fell on the turn, leaving Varonen drawing dead.

Satubayev Finds Another Dub

Level 29 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Shyngis Satubayev potted in the small blind for a little over half his stack then called off the rest when Ronny Kaiser jammed.

Satubayev: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Kaiser: {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}{j-Spades}{2-Clubs}

Satubayev flopped aces up and turned aces full, and it was a good thing for him he did since Kaiser made useless jacks full on the river.

"WaterLover" Eliminated in 8th Place ($40,056)

Level 29 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Action folded to the small blind, where Aku Joentausta limped and called a pot-sized wager from "WaterLover." Joentausta check-called 240,000 on the {2-Spades}{7-Clubs}{a-Clubs} flop and then a small bet of 150,000 on the {7-Hearts}. On the {q-Diamonds}, Joentausta checked again and WaterLover tanked a long time before shoving all in for 665K. Joentausta took his own thinking time before clicking call with {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for aces up.

It was good, as WaterLover had {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{9-Spades} for a bluff.

Adam Hendrix Eliminated in 9th Place ($30,470)

Level 28 : 25,000/50,000, 0 ante
Adam Hendrix
Adam Hendrix

Ronny Kaiser potted in early position and Adam Hendrix defended the big blind. Hendrix checked the {q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop and Kaiser potted again. Hendrix shoved for just a little more and Kaiser called off most of his own chips.

Hendrix: {k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Kaiser: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}

Hendrix was ahead but the {9-Spades} and {6-Clubs} would see his two pair counterfeit.

Hendrix Doubles

Level 28 : 25,000/50,000, 0 ante

Adam Hendrix potted under the gun for most of his money, and then called off the last 138K when Isaac Haxton shoved on the {2-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{9-Spades} flop from the big blind.

Haxton: {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Hendrix: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Hearts}

Hendrix had found the dream flop and he had nothing more to fade when the {4-Spades} turned.
