Tyler St. Clair Eliminated in 7th Place ($45,031)

Action folded around to Tyler St. Clair who moved all in from the small blind for roughly 675,000 in chips. Sonny Sekhon looked at his cards and quickly called from the big blind.

St. Clair: {7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}
Sekhon: {A-Spades}{7-Hearts}

The board fell {K-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{4-Clubs}{A-Hearts} and Sekhon's aces full of kings was able to knock St. Clair out in 7th place.

Michael Collins Eliminated in 8th Place ($35,449)

Michael Collins has been rather inactive over the past few hours and the blinds and antes finally caught up with him. Collins moved all in for 195,000 from early position which was less than a min-raise. John Crncic flat called from the button and Justin Ciolfitto called from the big blind.

The flop was {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{A-Clubs} and Ciolfitto checked. Crncic fired 300,000 and Ciolfitto folded.

Crncic: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}
Collins: {J-Diamonds}{7-Spades}

Collins would need to connect with something on the turn in order to have a glimmer of hope to stay alive. The {3-Diamonds} was not that something and he was eliminated from the tournament. The meaningless {8-Spades} hit the river and Collins graciously exited the tournament area.

Crncic Takes Chip Lead

John Crncic raised to 320,000 from the hijack only to have Ryan Biermann come over the top for 800,000 from the cutoff. It folded back around to Crncic who four-bet all in. Biermann quickly got rid of his cards and Crncic was awarded the pot. He is our current chip leader with about 4.92 million.

Three-Bet Works For Crncic

Level 34 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

Ryan Biermann opened with a raise from under the gun. It folded all of the way around to John Crncic in the big blind. He moved out a three-bet to 520,000 and Biermann quickly flung his cards away to the muck.

Crncic Fires River

Sonny Sekhon raised to 260,000 from the cutoff and John Crncic stuck around from the button. The blinds folded and they both checked the flop of {J-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts}.

It went check-check once more when the {10-Spades} hit the turn. The river was the {9-Spades} and Sekhon checked for a third time. Crncic fired 350,000 and Sekhon threw away his cards.

Anderson Pushes Back

Sonny Sekhon made it 265,000 from under the gun plus one and it folded all of the way around to Calvin Anderson in the big blind. He three-bet to 560,000 and Sekhon flat called.

A {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop came down and Anderson instantly shipped all in for about 1.7 million. Sekhon let it go and Anderson took the pot.
