Joe Tehan Eliminated in 6th Place ($63,894)

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Joe Tehan open-shoved for 139,000 from the cutoff, and Tim Bowman called in the small blind.

Tehan: {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Bowman: {a-Spades}{4-Hearts}

Tehan was drawing live, and the {7-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop gave him a backdoor straight draw. That draw was quickly eliminated when the {2-Clubs} turned, leaving Tehan with just six outs to make a pair. The {4-Clubs} bricked off on the river, and Tehan's day was done.

The cash game grinder was eliminated in sixth place, earning $63,894.

Monster Three-Way All-In Pot Sees Steinberg Take Over Chip Lead

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Jonathan Hilton opened the action for 40,000 under the gun and received a call from Robert Panitch in the cutoff. Joe Tehan then three-bet all in for 319,000. Max Steinberg then called off for 248,000 from the small blind, Hilton folded and Panitch thought for about 45 seconds before calling to put both players at risk.

Panitch: {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}
Steinberg: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Tehan: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

The crowd and pretty much all of the players were on their feet in anticipation of the monster hand. Panitch's supporters were calling for an ace and to use his "one time," while Tehan watched the action with his hands on his head. After the dealer squared away the various pots, he burned and put out the flop ... {10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{j-Spades}.

Steinberg came from behind to flop a set and was a heavy favorite to more than triple. Panitch's supporters then began calling for a king to give their man Broadway, but that was unlikely considering Tehan held two of them. The {8-Diamonds} turn opened up some more options for Panitch to score the double elimination as a nine would also give him a straight, but the {Q-Clubs} river was no help to him.

Steinberg's set held to give him a huge triple, while Tehan took down the side pot of 142,000.

Nicolas Vaca-Rondon Eliminated in 7th Place ($49,187)

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Nicolas Vaca-Rondon moved all in for 61,000 in late position, Brock Parker called on his direct left, and Joe Tehan called in the small blind.

Tehan and Parker checked on the {3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{q-Spades} flop, when the {5-Spades} turned, and after the {7-Clubs} completed the board. All three players tabled their hands.

Parker: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Vaca-Rondon: {j-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Tehan: {a-Spades}{9-Hearts}

Parker took the pot down, while Vaca-Rondon was eliminated in seventh place.

The Blinds Hit Vaca-Rondon

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Short-stacked Nicolas Vaca-Rondon can't wait long before he has to make a move, and it didn't happen when the blinds just hit him. When the Colombian was in the big blind, he opted to fold when Jonathan Hilton moved all in from the small. In the next hand, Vaca-Rondon folded his small blind with a raise in front of him.

Bowman with the Check-Raise

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Action folded to Joe Tehan on the button and he raised to 32,000, which prompted Tim Bowman and Jonathan Hilton to call from the small and big blind respectively. Two checks on the {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop saw Tehan continue for 35,000, and then Bowman woke up with a check-raise to 80,000. Hilton got out of the way and Tehan instantly followed suit.

Hilton Jams River

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Jonathan Hilton min-raised to 32,000 from early position, Max Steinberg called out of the big blind, and the flop brought the {9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. Steinberg opted to lead out, tossing forward 50,000, and Hilton made the call.

The turn produced the prettiest card in the deck, the {a-Spades}, and Steinberg led out again - this time for 120,000. Hilton again called.

A repeat ace - the {a-Hearts} - completed the board, and for the first time, Steinberg checked. Hilton moved all in, and Steinberg snap-folded.
