Hands 48-50: Aggression Pays

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Hand #48: Lind raised to 175,000 after action folded around to him in the small blind, and Bouskila surrendered his big blind.

Hand #49: Bashist limped in from under the gun, Bouskila obliged with a limp. and Spain checked his option in the big blind. On the {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop, Bouskila fired a bet of 90,000 forward, forcing Spain to muck. Bashist elected to raise it up, however, making it 240,000 to play, and he earned the pot when Bouskila folded.

Hand #50: Holley raised to 150,000 from under the gun, and Spain called from the small blind. The dealer fanned the flop of {3-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{2-Clubs} across the felt, and Spain check-folded to Holley's 225,000 c-bet.

James Miller Eliminated in 7th Place ($89,281)

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
James Miller - 7th place
James Miller - 7th place

Hand #47: Randolph Spain opened for 125,000 in middle position, and he heard James Miller announce himself all in for his last 645,000 or so chips. Spain snap-called with his {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}, and big slick was dominating Miller's {A-Spades}{10-Spades}.

Flop: {7-Spades}{9-Spades}{3-Hearts}

Every poker game needs a little sweat, and we got ours with two spades on the flop. Miller now needed any spade or ten in the deck for salvation, but the turn ({5-Diamonds}) and river ({8-Diamonds}} did not cooperate, sending him to the payout desk in 7th place.

With the win, Spain pushed over the 3.5 million chip plateau, and as he is seated to the left of chip leader Kenneth Lind, there may be more fireworks to come.
