Kevin Song Eliminated in 59th Place ($121,188)

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante
Kevin Song
Kevin Song

Kevin Song was in middle position and raised to 355,000. Joseph Michael was in the small blind and thought for a few minutes before three-betting to 955,000. Song moved all in for 1,355,000 and Michael called.

Michael: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Song: {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

The flop was {9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{9-Spades} and what a crazy board to pop up with these two hands: quads for Michael and a boat for Song who was flopped dead. Joseph Michael immediately let out a giant, "Come on!" and came over to high five his friend, Jordan Holder on the rail who was shouting for a nine to come on the flop the whole time.

The board ran out with the {10-Hearts} and {k-Diamonds} and Michael secured the elimination of Song.

Patel Dubs

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante
Neil Patel
Neil Patel

Joseph Michael and Neil Patel got it all in preflop with Patel covered and having 2,585,000.

Neil Patel: {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}
Joseph Michael: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}

The flop was {j-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Patel flopped a set to take the lead in the hand. The turn was the {5-Hearts} putting a flush draw out there for Michael heading to the river which was the {3-Spades} and faded the flush and trip outs of Michael. As soon as Michael chipped up, he lost the chips to Patel after being in a very good spot.

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante
Paul Dhaliwal
Paul Dhaliwal

Paul Dhaliwal raised to 225,000 from the hijack and Bryan Piccioli called from the button along with Joldis Cosmin in the big blind.

The flop came {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and Cosmin checked to Dhaliwal who bet 450,000. Piccioli raised to 1,325,000 and Cosmin got out of the way. Dhaliwal sat in the tank for at least three minutes before moving all in for around 4,700,000. Piccioli instantly called and the hands were tabled.

Piccioli rolled over {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} and Dhaliwal showed {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. The turn was the {4-Spades} and the river brought the {k-Diamonds}, eliminating Dhaliwal. Piccioli took down a massive pot and now sits with around 11,500,000.

Gryko Wins a Big Pot Off Pantling

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Hand #1: Richard Gryko raised to 220,000 in the cutoff and Michael Krasienko three-bet to 575,000 from one seat over on the button. Jack Sinclair four-bet to 1,300,000 and both opponents folded.

Hand #2: Wesley Pantling opened the action with a raise to 250,000 and Gryko three-bet to 670,000. Pantling called. The flop fell {7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades} and both players checked. After the {J-Spades} turn, Pantling checked and called a bet of 540,000 by Gryko before checking again the {9-Hearts} river.

Gryko made it 1,225,000 to go and Pantling eventually called. Gryko tabled {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} and Pantling sighed, then flashed pocket kings. "It happened to me twice. Guess all I could hope for was pocket queens."

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante
Robert Schulz
Robert Schulz

Action folded to Scott Stewart on the button and he raised to 200,000. The small blind folded and big blind Robert Schulz shoved all in for 1,835,000. Stewart called.

Schulz: {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Stewart: {A-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

The flop came {Q-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Stewart asked for a chop.

As the {5-Clubs} hit the turn, Stewart told the dealer with a smile, "I don't like that card."

He didn't like the turn, but he did like the {7-Hearts} on the river, as it gave him the winning two pair, sending Schulz to the rail in 57th place.

Bond Defends His Small Blind

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Frank Crivello raised to 250,000 from the cutoff and got calls from Christian Pham on the button and Matt Bond in the small blind.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Bond checked. Crivello bet 400,000 and both Pham and Bond called. The turn was the {4-Clubs} and both Bond and Crivello checked. Pham bet 675,000. Bond asked for a count and called, while Crivello folded.

The river was the {a-Spades} and Bond checked for a third time. Pham cut out chips and appeared like he was going to make a bet, but he put the stack of chips back in his pile and checked back. Bond tabled {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} for a pair of nines, and Pham looked back at his cards one last time before tossing them into the muck.

Bond raked in the pot and did a fist pump while looking over at his rail.
