"AlwaysWithNuts" Eliminated in 5th Place ($156,942.97)

Level 26 : 4,000/8,000, 1,200 ante

"baita" opened the betting under the gun with a raise to 16,000. "SusukeUchiha", one seat to their left, came over top with a shove for 176,623. One more seat over, "AlwaysWithNuts" put a fist-bump emote into chat, and called with a stack of 106,898.

"baita" got out of the way, and "AlwaysWithNuts" was in a dominating position.

"AlwaysWithNuts": {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
"SusukeUchiha": {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}

There was a jack in the window of the {3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{j-}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts} board though, and nothing to help "AlwaysWithNuts". They headed to the virtual cage for $156,942.97.

Chop Pot Before Break

Level 26 : 4,000/8,000, 1,200 ante

"RL-Stine" raised from under the gun to 14,000 and "PyramidOfSkulls" shoved from the big blind for 101,892. "RL-Stine" called, and both players were playing the same hand.

"RL-Stine": {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
"PyramidOfSkulls": {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

Board: {9-Hearts}{k-Spades}{3-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

As the pot was split, AlwaysWithNuts showed {5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, which they folded pre-flop, which would have rivered the straight.

"PloFishh" Eliminated in 6th Place ($119,551.77)

Level 25 : 3,500/7,000, 1,000 ante

"PloFishh" was short stacked and shoved from the second seat, and "baita" reshoved over top from two seats over. Everyone else folded, and "baita's" queens were in great shape against the {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs} of "PloFishh". The {8-Clubs}{5-Spades}{6-Spades}{8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} board was safe for the queens, and "PloFishh" was done in sixth place.

"PyramidOfSkulls" Turns the Straight

Level 24 : 3,000/6,000, 900 ante

PyramidOfSkulls limped in from the small blind, and PloFishh checked their option in the big. It went check-check on the {j-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop and check-check again on the {2-Spades} turn. When PyramidOfSkulls checked again on the {10-Clubs} river, PloFishh bet 9,000.

PyramidOfSkulls tanked for a bit, then raised to 33,750. PloFishh made the call and showed {10-Spades}{7-Clubs} but PyramidOfSkulls rolled over {a-Hearts}{3-Clubs} for the turned wheel.
