James Mackey Eliminated in 11th Place ($26,591)

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
James Mackey
James Mackey

Steven Buckner raised to 60,000 from the cutoff and James Mackey three-bet to 155,000 on the button. Daniel Weinman was in the big blind and paused for a moment before putting in a four-bet to 340,000. Buckner got out of the way and Mackey called.

The flop came {q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Weinman instantly moved all in, having Mackey covered by a decent amount. After a few seconds, Mackey put a couple of chips in the middle to call.

Mackey tabled {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for the nut flush draw and Weinman showed {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}.

The turn was the {4-Diamonds} and Mackey started to get up and out of his seat before the {5-Diamonds} hit the river.

As Weinman was raking in the pot, after Mackey had left the table, Steven Buckner piped up and asked, "How does he give you seven hundred thousand? What does he think you had? Nothin'?"

Jeffrey Tugwell

Jeffrey Tugwell opened the action with a raise to 52,000 from the button. Daniel Weinman was in the big blind and reraised to 165,000. With the action back on Tugwell, he moved all in for his remaining 640,000. Weinman asked for a count and then called.

Weinman was in a dominating position with {A-Hearts}{J-Spades} against Tugwell's {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

The dealer fanned the board {6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and Weinman's kicker was good enough to eliminate Tugwell in 12th place.

Andy Spears Hits the Rail

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

Andy Spears was in the cutoff and moved all in for his remaining 360,000 in chips. Action folded around to Shivan Abdine in the big blind and he peeled his cards slowly before sliding a stack forward, indicating a call.

Spears was at risk, tabling {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and had a disappointed look on his face when he saw Abdine tabled a dominating {a-Spades}{j-Spades}.

The flop came {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and Abdine pulled further ahead with a pair of jacks. The turn was the {9-Hearts} and Spears picked up a straight draw, but the river was the {j-Clubs} and he was eliminated in 16th place.

Daniel Weinman and Matt Berkey Face Off

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

Daniel Weinman raised to 45,000 on the button and Matt Berkey defended his big blind.

The flop came {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and Berkey checked. Weinman thought for a moment and opted to check back.

The turn was the {2-Diamonds} and Berkey led out for 60,000. Weinman wasted no time and called.

The river was the {j-Diamonds}. Berkey checked and Weinman paused before sliding out a tower of chips totaling 140,000. Berkey tanked for about a minute and called.

"Ace-jack," said Wineman, tabling {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for two pair, jacks and tens.

"So sick," said Berkey as he tabled {j-Spades}{8-Spades} and paid the bet.

Tugwell Climbs Over a Million

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

Royce Matheson raised to 40,000 on the button and Jeffrey Tugwell three-bet to 210,000 from the small blind. After sizing up their stacks, Alexander Condon four-bet shoved all in from the big blind. Matheson quickly tossed his cards away and Tugwell called for 526,000, being the player at risk. Tugwell was out in front with {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds} versus Condon's {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}, and the board ran out clean for him. Tugwell doubled up and now sits over the 1,000,000-chip mark.
