Rex Clinkscales Eliminated in 7th Place ($16,114)

Level 29 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Rex Clinkscales
Rex Clinkscales

The action folded to Rex Clinkscales on the button, and he pushed all in for roughly 710,000. Jordan Cristos called in the big blind, and the cards were tabled.

Clinkscales: {K-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Cristos: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}

The dealer spread a {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop to give Clinkscales outs to a backdoor straight draw to go along with his pair outs. The turn of the {5-Hearts} would see those backdoor outs come true now to leave Clinkscales drawing to a king, nine or seven.

The river landed the {6-Hearts}, and Clinkscales was eliminated in 7th place for a $16,114 payday as Cristos saw his stack motor up to 5.4 million in chips.

Two Pair for Springael

Level 29 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Springael bet out 200,000, and Serock folded as Springael opted to show his {7-Spades}{5-Spades} for two pair.

Andrey Plotnikov Eliminated in 8th Place ($13,384)

Level 29 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Andrey Plotnikov
Andrey Plotnikov

From under the gun, Andrey Plotnikov pushed all in for his last 750,000. The action folded to Egi Adriaans, and he called from the button.

Plotnikov: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Adriaans: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

With Plotnikov at-risk and trailing, the {9-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds} furthered his disadvantage as the {5-Spades} landed on the turn.

Needing only an ace or queen to stay alive, the river would fall the {6-Hearts}, and Plotnikov would be eliminated in 8th place for a $13,384 payday as Adriaans climbs to 2.7 million in chips.

Jacks for Joris

"You look like a guy that would come in fourth or fifth place!" stated Springael to Plotnikov.

Ryan Readenour Eliminated in 9th Place ($11,320)

Level 28 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Ryan Readenour
Ryan Readenour

The action folded to Ryan Readenour in the small blind, and he limped in. Jordan Cristos checked his option in the big blind, and the dealer fanned a {4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{Q-Spades} flop.

Readenour led out for 135,000 and Cristos called as the {9-Spades} laned on the turn. Readenour pushed all in for roughly 370,000, and Cristos quickly called.

Readenour: {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Cristos: {Q-Clubs}{3-Spades}

Cristos held two-pair, and for Readenour to stay alive, he would need to find a king or eight.

The river fell the {5-Spades}, and Readenour was eliminated in 9th place for a $11,320 payday as Cristos climbed to over 4.2 million in chips.

Flush for Jordan Cristos

Level 28 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

From under the gun, Joe Serock opened to 100,000 and both Andrew Warren and Jordan Cristos called from middle position and the big blind respectively.

The flop landed {8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{A-Clubs} and both Cristos and Serock checked to Warren who bet 200,000. Cristos called, as did Serock, and then the {4-Diamonds} was checked through by all three players.

The river landed the {5-Clubs} and Cristos bet out 150,000 and Serock called. Warren folded, and then Cristos tabled his {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a flush, and Serock mucked.

With that pot, Cristos is now over 3.7 million, while Serock drops to 2.5 million.
