Danzer Busts High Roller; Shot Clock Off and Shack-Harris Gets Final Chance

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante
Will Danzer hold?
Will Danzer hold?

George Danzer opened with a raise to 1,600 from middle position, and Fabian Quoss called on the button. Greg Merson called from the big blind, and the flop came down {Q-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts}. Merson checked, and Danzer bet 3,600. After Quoss folded, Merson check-raised to 9,200. Danzer went all in for around 30,000, and Merson made the call.

Merson tabled top pair with the {Q-Spades}{9-Hearts}. Danzer had one over card to the board and a flush draw with the {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}.

The turn and river were the {3-Clubs} and {7-Spades}, respectively, and Danzer was eliminated.

With Danzer's elimination, his 2014 World Series of Poker has come to a close. It was certainly one for the ages, though, as the German earned three gold bracelets and currently leads the WSOP Player of the Year race by 116.8 points. But, Danzer still has a sweat.

With Brandon Shack-Harris still in the 2014 WSOP Asia-Pacific Main Event and needing a second-place finish or better to steal the tittle at the buzzer, it's right down to the wire with this one. At the time of this writing, the Main Event has been cut down to 24 players with Shack-Harris wielding a top-10 stack.

Hinrichsen Extinguishes Burns

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante
Kahle Burns
Kahle Burns

Kahle Burns opened the pot with a raise, Andrew Hinrichsen three-bet, Burns four-bet, and then Hinrichsen five-bet before Burns just called to see the flop come down {Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. Hinrichsen put Burns all in for his last 37,000 or so, and Burns quickly called with the {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}. Hinrichsen had the {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}.

The turn was the {Q-Spades} to keep Burns in front, but the {A-Hearts} delivered a fatal blow to him and he was out of the tournament.

"I Have Zero Outs"

Level 5 : 300/600, 100 ante
Ken Demlakian
Ken Demlakian

Jan Suchanek opened for 1,400 under the gun and a short-stacked Ken Demlakian three-bet jammed from the button for his last 5,000. 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Jonathan Duhamel then four-bet to 10,500 from the small blind, but the isolation didn't work as Suchanek called to see a {10-Spades}{k-Hearts}{j-Clubs} flop.

Both players checked, the dealer burned and turned the {4-Hearts}, and Duhamel led out for 12,000. Suchanek quickly folded and the cards were turned up.

Demlakian: {k-Spades}{2-Spades}
Duhamel: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}

"I have zero outs," Demlakian said upon seeing his opponent's cards. Indeed, that was the case and he began to to stand as the dealer put out the meaningless {3-Clubs} on the river. "Good luck guys," Demlakian offered before taking his leave from the 2014 WSOP APAC.

Heimiller Shoves River

Level 5 : 300/600, 100 ante

Late entrant Daniel Negreanu checked the {Q-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Clubs} board, and then Dan Heimiller also checked to Jonathan Karamalikis. He bet 7,400, Negreanu folded, and Heimiller check-raised to 15,000. Karamalikis called.

The turn was the {Q-Hearts} and paired the board. Heimiller moved all in, having Karamalikis covered. Karamalikis folded and left himself with 25,000 in chips.
