Mark Muchnik Up to 640K

On a board of {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs}, with about 500,000 in the pot, Mark Muchnik checked. Philip Hilm moved all in. Muchnik went into the tank before he called for his last 120,000. Hilm mucked his hand after Muchnik showed {5-Hearts}{5-Spades} for a full house. Muchnik increased his stack to 120,000.

Steven Jacobs Eliminated by Samuel Padgett

After a flop of {10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}, Steven Jacobs is all in with {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} (pair of sevens with a diamond flush draw) against Samuel Padgett's {5-Clubs}{5-Spades} (set of fives). Jacobs needs to improve to survive.

The turn card is the {9-Clubs}, and Jacobs picks up additional outs with a gutshot straight draw. But the river card is the {K-Hearts}, and Padgett wins the pot with his set of fives.

Steven Jacobs is eliminated from the Main Event.

Bob Slezak Is a Pocket Ace Machine

After a raised flop of {10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}, Ken Lawrence moves all in under the gun, Bob Slezak calls from middle position, and another player folds. Lawrence shows {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}, and Slezak chuckles as he shows {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}. One player says to Slezak, "You really *do* have aces all the time!"

Slezak has had three all-in situations today (before this one) with pocket aces. On this occasion, Lawrence sums it up, "Even when *I've* got aces, you've got aces."

The last two cards are {4-Spades}{J-Clubs}, and the pot is chopped up between them. Lawrence has about 210,000, and Slezak has about 330,000.

Sebastian Zink Eliminated

Sebastian Zink took a tough hit when he made a great call on a board of {10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. Brett Kimes moved all in and Zink called with 7-7. Kimes flipped over A-K. Zink jumped up and started to celebrate when one of the players at his table reminded him that there was one more card left. The river was the {A-Hearts}. Not only was Zink's stack crippled, so where his spirits.

On the next hand Zink busted out.

Sully Erna Has Been Eliminated

Sully Erna
Sully Erna
Erna moved all in for his last 135,000 under the gun and Andrew Barnes flat-called. And then Charis Anastasiou moved all-in for 600,000. Barnes gave the situation some thought before folding pocket Queens, which he probably regretted once he saw Anastasiou turn over {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} and Erna {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}.

Nor was Barnes likely to be too pleased when the board ran out {4-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, though he couldn't have been more disappointed than Erna, as the Godsmack singer was eliminated from the Main Event.
