Denise Molloy Doubles Up

Denise Molloy (the last female in the field) moves all in from the button for 49,000, and the online player 'The-Toilet' calls from the big blind.

James Ekman Eliminated in 36th Place ($12,348)

James Ekman moves all in under the gun, and Anders Sebastian calls all in from early position with {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. Ekman shows {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}. The board comes {5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Clubs}{9-Spades}, and Sebastian's kings hold up to win the pot, increasing his stack to 135,000. Ekman is crippled down to 2,000.

The next hand, Ekman is forced all in from the big blind. John Phan raises from the cutoff to 15,000, Matt Gilsdorf reraises to 50,000, and Phan folds. Ekman wakes up with a real hand, showing {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}, but he's dominated by Gilsdorf's 9-9. Ekman never catches a three, and he's knocked out in 36th place, earning $12,348.

John Phan Busts Two Players; Up to 375,000

John Phan raises from early position to 25,000, 'Mad Marty' Wilson reraises to 60,000, Jon 'PearlJammer' Turner moves all in from the small blind to 95,000, Phan pushes, and Wilson calls all in. The players show:

John Phan: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
Jon Turner: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Martyn Wilson: {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The board doesn't help Turner or Wilson, and John Phan wins the pot to build his stack to 375,000 in chips, near chipleader Lars Bonding.

Jon Turner finishes in 38th place ($10,485), and Martyn Wilson finishes in 37th place ($10,485).

The board comes {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{J-Spades}{8-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}, and Grospellier wins the hand with a full house, aces full of jacks, increasing his stack to about 315,000. Daniel Harmetz is eliminated.
