Alan Gillespie Eliminated in 23rd Place ($19,633)

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Alan Gillespie - 23rd Place
Alan Gillespie - 23rd Place

Alan Gillespie moved all in and was called by Carl Torelli.

Gillespie was the player at risk with {7-Clubs}{7-Spades} but he was ahead of the {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} of Torelli.

The cards fell {j-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{6-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{a-Spades} and a set for Torelli right on the flop and no magic seven would appear for Gillespie to send him to the rail.

One Double Up And The Big Stacks Tangle

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Robert Cramer raised to 50,000 and then folded to the all in of the big blind for 176,000. One hand later we had a battle of the blinds with Michael Wilson opening the action from the small blind and then calling the all in of David Smith rather quickly.

Smith: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}
Wilson: {Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}

The {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} flop provided a hit for both players, but neither the {6-Hearts} turn nor the {4-Diamonds} river improved the hand of Wilson. Smith doubled up for 369,000 chips and Wilson lost almost two third of his stack.

We also saw a big pot between two of our biggest stacks. The {Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs} board was already complete and Mitchell Lehman bet 130,000 for about half pot, Doc Barry considered his options and then threw in one chip for the call. Lehman's bluff with {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} was caught and Barry won the pot with {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. "Nice call," his opponent said the rest of the table nodded.

Milwood Motley Eliminated In 24th Place ($19,633)

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Milwood Motley
Milwood Motley

Doc Barry raised to 40,000 and Milwood Motley three-bet to 100,000. Barry moved all in and Motley called off for approximately 350,000. Both had suited aces but Barry was slightly ahead with the {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}, Motley needed a queen or spades with the {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}. The board ran out {K-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and we have our first chips millionaire. Motley takes home $19,633 for his efforts.

James Mallen Eliminated in 26th Place ($19,633)

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
James Mallen
James Mallen

Dennis Phillips opened the action with a raise for 40,000 from the button and the small blind folded. James Mallen moved all in for 154,000 in total and Phillips was sent into agony. "Guess I am supposed to call here," he said. Then asked the dealer again how much more it was. Another minute passed by. "Sorry guys," he apologized for pondering about the decision. "Take your time," Stephen Wood said from the small blind. Ultimately Phillips tossed in the chips.

Phillips: {A-Spades}{6-Diamonds}
Mallen: {10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

"I am ahead, barely," Phillips said upon discovering the cards of his opponent. The {K-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades}{A-Hearts} board stayed clear and we are down to 25 players.

Hatcher Out

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Arthur Hatcher
Arthur Hatcher

Mitchell Lehman opened for 43,000 and the big blind Arthur Hatcher called.

The flop was {9-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{j-Hearts}. Hatcher checked and then called when Lehman moved all in. “Jacks?” said a worried Lehman, but Hatcher turned over {j-Spades}{10-Spades} and was at risk when he saw the {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} of Lehman.

The turn card {a-Hearts} and river {6-Spades} saw Hatcher fall just before the final three tables.

Still Not Liking Flips

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Carl Torelli raised to 50,000 and Kevin Detienne called one seat over. Dennis Phillips three-bet to 135,000 and Torelli folded. Detienne asked the dealer "How much more is it to me?" 85,000 was the answer. Detienne clearly didn't feel comfortable and then said "It's a coin flip and I don't like it," before folding {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}.
