Jiri Horak Eliminated in 16th Place ($10,478)

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

Jeff Gigante raised to 45,000 and Sammy Lafleur moved all in from the small blind. Jiri Horak in the big blind was curious and looked over to initial raiser Gigante, who replied "I started with 340K." Horak then called all in for just over 400,000 and Gigante folded.

Jiri Horak: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Sammy Lafleur: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

The {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop and the {6-Clubs} turn kept Horak in the lead, but the {K-Hearts} on the river improved Lafleur to a pair of kings and sent the Czech to the rail in 16th place for $10,478.

All remaining players have $13,168 locked up, and an additional $500 is up for grabs for each bounty.

Dubini Takes from Lafleur

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

Richard Dubini raised to 43,000 and the action folded all the way around to Sammy Lafleur. A new black T-100,000 chip had just been introduced and Lafleur took one of them and put it on top of his big blind without saying any word. As a result, it was just ruled as a call and the flop fell {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}.

Both players checked and Lafleur bet the {3-Spades} turn for 65,000, which Dubini called. After the {3-Diamonds} river, both checked again and Lafleur briefly flashed {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} while Dubini claimed the pot with {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} for eights and sevens.

Thomas Lutz Gets There

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

Uri Reichenstein was in middle position and raised to 45,000. Thomas Lutz called from the small blind.

The flop was {a-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs} and Lutz check-called a bet of 46,000.

The turn was the {8-Hearts} and again Lutz checked. Reichenstein bet 128,000 and it was met by a call from Lutz.

The river was the {3-Hearts} and Lutz checked. Reichenstein took a couple of minutes to decide before betting out 257,000. Lutz called rather quickly and both players tabled their hands.

Thomas Lutz {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Uri Reichenstein {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

Lutz took down the pot after rivering two pair.

Gigante Gets There Against Gimbel

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

Tobias Peters raised to 45,000 from early position and Sammy Lafleur called from one seat over. In the cutoff, Harrison Gimbel three-bet to 145,000 and the action reached Jeff Gigante in the big blind. He announced all in for around 300,000 and Peters asked to see the stack of Gimbel before folding. Lafleur quickly did so, too, and Gimbel snap-called.

Jeff Gigante: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Harrison Gimbel: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}

"Good luck," Gimbel said and Gigante replied with a "good luck man." The board came {Q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and Gigante turned a ten to double up for 302,000. "Nice hand," Gimbel said, remaining very calm.

Zhaoxing Wang raised to 52,000 and the action reached Harrison Gimbel in the small blind who moved all in. Once it was back on Wang, he asked for a count and Gimbel's shove was deemed to be for 384,000 in total. Wang cut out the chips for a call and slid them forward to see both table their cards.

Gimbel: {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}
Wang: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}

"Good luck," Gimbel said again, similar to his last all-in showdown. The board came {8-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Gimbel failed to get there, bowing out in 15th place for $13,168.

Lutz Takes From Bazeley

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

Jacob Bazeley was in middle position and raised to 55,000. Chris Bolek called on the button and Thomas Lutz defended his big blind.

The flop was {6-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Lutz checked to Bazeley who fired out a bet of 80,000. Bolek folded and Lutz check-raised up to 190,000. Bazeley called.

The turn was the {j-Hearts} and both players checked to the river which was the {8-Clubs}. Lutz fired out a bet of 395,000, sending Bazeley into the tank for several minutes. After much deliberation, Bazeley folded and multiple people asked Lutz to "show the bluff." He did not, and sent his cards into the muck.

Thomas Lutz raised to 48,000 from under the gun and Uri Reichenstein moved all in from late position for what appeared to be 675,000. Once the action was back on Lutz, he quickly called and the cards were turned over.

Reichenstein: {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Lutz: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

After a board of {K-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, Reichenstein failed to get there and he was eliminated in 14th place for $13,168. "Good call," Jacob Bazeley grinned while Lutz was busy implementing even more chips into his monster stack.
