Jeff Papola Eliminated in 15th Place ($37,806); Dan Martin Eliminated in 14th Place ($37,806)

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Dan Martin eliminated in 14th place.
Dan Martin eliminated in 14th place.

After just busting Carter Swidler, Seth Berger has picked up a massive heater of cards that just allowed him to eliminate Jeff Papola and Dan Martin all in the same hand.

Action began with Dan Martin who opened to 40,000 from the button. From the small blind, Jeff Papola jammed all in over the top. Then, from the big blind, Seth Berger reshoved all in over the top of that. When action got back to Martin he made the call creating a huge pot and a three-way all in.

Berger: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}
Papola: {J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Martin: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

The flop came down {3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} keeping Martin out front with his over pair. The {A-Hearts} turned for Berger though, changing the lead entirely. The river dropped the {2-Spades} keeping Berger in the lead and allowing him to eliminate both players in the same hand.

Carter Swidler Eliminated in 16th Place ($30,399)

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Carter Swidler
Carter Swidler

We missed the initial part of the hand, but with the board reading {7-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} | {6-Clubs}, Carter Swidler committed his entire stack, only to get snap called by Seth Berger, who tabled his {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for a flush. Swidler showed his {3-Spades}{4-Spades} for a straight, but was drawing dead, as the meaningless {K-Spades} completed the board.

Pratyush Buddiga Eliminated in 17th Place ($30,399)

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Pratyush Buddiga
Pratyush Buddiga

Action began with Pratyush Buddiga who opened to 35,000 from under the gun +1. Everyone folded over to Thomas Muehloecker who reraised to a total of 85,000 from the button. Both blinds folded leaving action back on Buddiga who moved all in for the remainder of his chips. Muehloecker nodded his head then threw in one chip signifying a call.

Buddiga: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Muehloecker: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

Buddiga was in big trouble and needed some help from the flop to stay alive, as Muehloecker had a covering stack. The flop of {8-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts} didn't give Buddiga any improvement. The turn was the {3-Spades} and it left Buddiga drawing to just a jack to survive. The river came the {7-Diamonds} giving Muehloecker the best hand with his ace-king high, and that sent Buddiga to the rail in 17th place.

Pro Gets Swidler on the River

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

The hand started with Carter Swidler opening to 33,000 from under the gun plus one, and was called by Arthur Pro in late position, as well as Matt Berkey on the button.

The flop came down {3-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, before Swidler threw out a continuation bet of 46,000. Pro paused for a moment, before throwing out a raise to 100,000. Berkey quickly folded, as the decision fell back on Swidler. He thought for a moment, before bumping it up to 160,000, which was called. The {8-Hearts} fell on the turn, as both players opted to check, before the {2-Hearts} completed the board. Swidler reached for his chips, and bet out 145,000, before Pro asked him how much he had behind. When he got his answer, he announced all in, which saw Swidler instantly muck his hand.

Pro then quickly tabled his {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for just a pair, which upset Swidler.

Christian Rudolph Eliminated in 18th Place ($30,399)

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Christian Rudolph
Christian Rudolph

Matt Perrins opened to 32,000 from under the gun plus one, before Christian Rudolph moved all in for 283,000 in chips. The action folded around to Antonio Buonanno in the small blind, who looked down at his cards, before asking for an official count. Once he was told, he made the call, as Perrins got out of the way.

Rudolph: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}
Buonanno: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Board: {6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

Buonanno flopped a set of tens, and guaranteed himself the pot, when the turn gave him a full house. A great run from Rudolph, who leaves with $30,399 for his efforts.

Schulte Finds a Double

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

The hand started with Pratyush Buddiga opening to 32,000 from under the gun, before Matt Schulte committed his remaining 99,000 from under the gun plus one. The action folded around to Olivier Busquet, who moved all in over the top, forcing Buddiga out of the hand.

Schulte: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Busquet: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The board ran out {2-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades}{6-Clubs} to see Schulte’s kings hold, as he doubled to stay alive.
