Level 13 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Ben Tollerene
Ben Tollerene

Ben Tollerene raised under the gun and was called by Brandon Adams in the big blind. The flop came {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Spades} and Adams checked over to Tollerene who made a bet. Adams check-raised all-in and Tollerene called.

Adams: {7-Spades}{3-Spades}
Tollerene: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

The turn was the {2-Spades} and Adams made his flush. The insignificant {5-Hearts} landed on the river but it was all over for Tollerene.

Erik Seidel Eliminated in 11th Place

Level 13 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Erik Seidel
Erik Seidel

Action exploded on the turn between Steffen Sontheimer and Erik Seidel with the board reading {3-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}.

The latter checked and the former took the opportunity to bet 65,000. Seidel, who earlier today finished second in Event #3 for $576,000, responded by check-raising all in for what looked to be roughly 200,000 and Sontheimer snap-called.

Sontheimer: {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}
Seidel: {a-Spades}{4-Spades}

Seidel had turned two pair, but the same card gave Sontheimer a set. Seidel needed an ace on the river to survive, but one wasn't in the cards as the {8-Hearts} blanked.

River Saves Tollerene

Level 13 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Ben Tollerene got his short stack all in preflop and was at risk against Steffen Sontheimer.

Tollerene: {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Sontheimer: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Tollerene needed some help, but he didn't get any on the {4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{6-Spades} flop nor {6-Diamonds} river. Fortunately for him, the {J-Clubs} river was just what he was looking for.
