Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Derek Normand opened to 200,000 from early position and action folded around to Shashank Jain in the big blind who then moved all in for 1,050,000.

James Anderson then moved all in over the top and Normand went into the tank.

"Agh, this would be so much easier if it was just me and you," Normand said aloud in Jain's direction.

After thinking for another thirty seconds, he announced a fold and the cards were tabled.

Shashank Jain: A♠K♣
James Anderson: A♦Q♠

"See, that's exactly what I didn't want to see! I had pocket eights!" Normand was kicking himself.

He wouldn't kick himself for long, however, as the flop came out A♥Q♣7♥ to immediately give Anderson the lead with top two pair. Jain would need a to hit a king or running jack-ten to win, but the runout of 9♦5♣ did not do it for him and he was sent to the rail in 20th place.

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Before the flop, Justin Kindred and Marco Bognanni managed to get all of of their chips into the middle, with Kindred covering.

Marco Bognanni: J♣J♥
Justin Kindred: Q♣Q♦

Bognanni would need a lot of help to escape this cooler, but the flop of 9♣2♣Q♥ left him drawing very slim. The turn 4♦ left him drawing dead and the 10♣ on the river sent him to the rail in 22nd place.

George Janssen: A♠Q♦
Derek Normand: 9♦9♠

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Galen Hall moved almost all of his chips in preflop under the gun, retaining one red chip, and Daniel Schill called in the small blind.
The flop came out 6♣7♣A♣ and Schill through in 100,000 to put Hall all in who made the call with his last 5,000.

Galen Hall: J♣Q♠
Daniel Schill: A♦9♦

The turn and river were 2♥Q♥ and although Hall called for the club it did not come and Schill won the pot and moved up the ladder.
