Jayce Palmer: K♠J♠

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Action folded around to Jacob Long in the small blind who moved all-in and was called by Brent Gregory in the big blind.

Jacob Long: 9♠9♥
Brent Gregory: K♦J♣

The flop and turn of 5♥7x3♣10♠ left Long in great shape to double-up, but the K♥ on the river sealed the deal for Gregory, sending Long to the rail.

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Brent Gregory raised from early position to 100,000 and action folded around to Scott Wilson in the big blind, who exercised the option to raise, and did so all-in, for 1,100,000. Gregory thought for a moment before making the call.

Scott Wilson: A♠J♠
Brent Gregory: K♦Q♦

"Super fair fight," said Gregory on a 8♥10♠K♠ flop, but Wilson was shown the door after the 2♥ turn and 6♦ river failed to deliver the win.

Katelin Koper: 9♣9♠
Hunter Mcclelland: A♠J♥

The board ran out Q♠A♦ and Mcclelland held on with aces and jacks to send Koper home in 11th place for $12,300.

Clash of the Titans, Schultz Doubles Through Lemery

Jim Murray

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Dylan Lemery opened from early position to 100,000 and was three-bet to 355,000 in middle position by Wissam Gahshan. Barry Schultz then moved all-in over both raises for 1,950,000 from late position.

Lemery went into the tank before announcing "all-in," which sent Gahshan into deep thought. After a few tortuous moments, Gahshan announced "fold," and flipped over two black queens, which ended up saving his tournament.

Dylan Lemery: K♦K♥
Barry Schultz: A♠A♦

Lemery saw the bad news and the flop of 6♠10♦5♥ was no help. Neither was the 5♣ turn or 9♠ river, giving Schultz the much needed double-up
