Andrew Wheldon Eliminated in 5th Place ($9,035)

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Andrew Wheldon
Andrew Wheldon

First to act, Andrew Wheldon moved all in for 165,000. Action folded to Danny Park in the big blind.

"I have a really bad hand," Park said. "But I feel lucky."

Park eventually called and it was on to a showdown.

Danny Park: {K-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Andrew Wheldon: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

Park was in bad shape, but the board ran out {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} and the board paired, counterfeiting Wheldon's pair and sending him home from the tournament with $9,035

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Nathan Zappia
Nathan Zappia

Nathan Zappia opened with a raise to 150,000. Action folded to the big blind and Robert Sutherland moved all in. Zappia called.

Robert Sutherland: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}
Nathan Zappia: {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}

"Oh no," Sutherland said. "I got a bad feeling."

The board ran out {K-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} though and Sutherland's bad feeling proved to be wrong as he held on to eliminate Zappia in 6th place. For his run he'll take down $6,857.

Natalia Rozova Eliminated in 7th Place ($5,292)

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Natalia Rozova
Natalia Rozova

Constantine Harach opened with a raise to 100,000 under the gun and action folded to the Natalia Rozova who moved all in for just under 400,000. Everyone folded back to Harach who called instantly.

Constantine Harach: {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Natalia Rozova: {q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}

The flop was a disaster for Rozova when it came {Q-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} giving a straight to Harach immediately. She could take the lead with a queen though, or a running board pair, or chop with if a ten came, but unfortunately for her, it came {9-Diamonds} and {A-Diamonds} so she hit the rail in 7th place.

Wheldon Doubles Through Rozova

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

Natalia Rozova opened with a raise to 55,000 and Andrew Wheldon called in the cutoff.

The flop was {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and both players checked to see the {J-Clubs} come on the turn. There, Rozova put out a bet of 175,000 which was enough to put Wheldon all in and he snap-called.

Natalia Rozova: {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}
Andrew Wheldon: {J-Hearts}{10-Spades}

The river was the {Q-Spades} and Rozova missed her flush draw, so Wheldon was able to double up.
