Michael "VinnyV" Vanier led from under the gun for 4,800. A raise came from "qpoker205" to 16,140. Matt "berkey11_S4Y" Berkey, from the cutoff, moved all in with 175,000 behind. Vanier, covered by Berkey, made the call for his stack of 64,802. After "qpoker205" got out the way, the hands were shown.

Michael "VinnyV" Vanier: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Matt "berkey11_S4Y" Berkey: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The {7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds} board provided no help to Berkey, giving Vanier the double up.

Run It Once

Riess Eliminated by Forlenza's Rivered Wheel

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 240 ante
Ryan Riess
Ryan Riess

Soon after John "Slapshot1085" Forlenza doubled through Ryan "BitC0in" Riess, another hand transpired between the pair.

Just before the blinds went up, Forlenza jammed the small blind and Riess called in the big blind for his 19,758 chips.

Ryan "BitC0in" Riess: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
John "Slapshot1085" Forlenza: {a-Spades}{3-Diamonds}

Riess was in great shape for a double of his own, but the {5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs} runout left his opponent with a wheel, and sent Riess out of the tournament.

The heads-up action was picked up with 28,400 in the middle and a flop of {3-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}.

Jeffrey "Basil_Hayden" Dobrin fired 4,885 into the middle from the button. Matt "berkey11_S4Y" Berkey raised to 10,100 from the cutoff. Dobrin moved all in. Berkey, the at-risk player, made the call with about 60,000 behind. Their hands were flipped.

Berkey: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Dobrin: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Dobrin, who was already drawing very thin, was left drawing dead as the {a-Spades} came on the turn, giving Berkey the full house, and the double up.

Forlenza's Ducks Hold Versus Riess

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

John "Slapshot1085" Forlenza shoved on the button for 28,895 and Ryan "BitC0in" Riess rejammed in the small blind.

John "Slapshot1085" Forlenza: {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}
Ryan "BitC0in" Riess: {a-Spades}{9-Hearts}

The {6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop gave Riess additional counterfeit outs, but the {8-Hearts} and {4-Spades} completed the board to secure Forlenza's double with the deuces.
