Alexander Ivarsson - 12th Place

Alexander Ivarsson was all in preflop for his tournament life and Joe Baldwin had him at risk.

Showdown
Ivarsson: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Baldwin: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

It was your classic race situation, and Ivarsson took an early lead after the flop fell {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades}. Baldwin came storming around the bend passing Ivarsson when the {8-Hearts} turned however and crossed the finish line as the winner when the {6-Diamonds} rivered.

Ivarsson was eliminated in 12th place and will take home $30,524 while Baldwin is still alive and well with 1,275,000 chips.

Great Turn, Better River

Taurean Davis opened to 42,000 from under the gun and Jeffrey "jpapola" Papola called from the small blind.

Both players checked the {6-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{k-Clubs} flop, and Papola led for 73,000 after the {8-Diamonds} turned. Davis called.

The dealer delivered the {2-Diamonds} on the river and Papola led again - this time for 130,000. Davis called but mucked after Papola opened {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a diamond flush.

Papola chipped up to 900,000 chips and Davis slipped to just 275,000.

Easy Eddy

Martins Adeniya opened to 48,000 from the cutoff and Eddy Scharf defended his big blind.

The flop fell {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{k-Hearts} and Scharf check-called 62,000 from Adeniya.

Both players checked after the {2-Spades} turned and Scharf slid out a tiny bet once the {4-Spades} rivered; 40,000. Adeniya tanked for a moment, chewing on some gum and eying up Scharf before raising to 160,000. Scharf immediately announced call and turned over {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}.

Adeniya stood up to verify Scharf's cards and then placed his own two in the muck.

Scharf increased his stack to 735,000 chips and Adeniya dropped down to 310,000.

¡Vamos!

On the flop of {J-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, Martins Adeniya flopped top pair with the {J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} against the middle set of Javier Etayo with the {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}. Adeniya also held a gutshot straight draw. On the flop, the betting went Adeniya 42,000, Etayo 127,000, Adeniya 400,000, Etayo all in for 520,000. Adeniya was priced in by then and made the call.

The turn was the {2-Clubs} and the river the {A-Clubs}. Neither helped Adeniya eliminate Etayo, who doubled to 1.2 million in chips. Adeniya slipped to 670,000.
