Cracked Aces End Koon's Run in 79th Place

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Jason Koon
Jason Koon

Just minutes before the dinner break, Max Young raised from early position and action folded to Jason Koon, who looked down as the {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} in the big blind.

He opted to just call, which brought about a flop of {10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}. Koon checked and then called when Young continued for 24,000.

After the dealer burned and turned an offsuit {10-}, Koon checked and Young moved all in. Koon, who began the hand with 156,000, called off only to see Young roll over {a-}{10-} for trips.

The river was not the case ace Koon needed and he saw his Wynn Millions experience come to an end in 79th place for $38,179.

Funaro Runs Over Wheeler

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Jason Wheeler raised to 200,000 under the gun and left himself just 13,000 behind. Action folded around to Frank Funaro in the big blind and he moved all in. Wheeler tanked for a bit to verify he had made the pay jump and once he did, he called off.

Jason Wheeler: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Frank Funaro: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

Wheeler was in a race situation but needed to improve to stay alive. Unfortunately for him, that didn't happen as the board ran out {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{j-Spades}{8-Clubs} to give the pot to Funaro.

Bicknell Finds Breathing Room

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Kristen Bicknell
Kristen Bicknell

Jose Montes raised under the gun and then called Kristen Bicknell's 47,000 three-bet jam on the button.

Jose Montes: {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Kristen Bicknell: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

The {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} flop gave both players a broadway draw but it also gave an open-ended straight draw. Luckily for Bicknell, the board completed with the {8-Spades} on the turn and the {5-Hearts} on the river, securing her double up.

Boivin's Hero Call Turns Deadly

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Thomas Boivin
Thomas Boivin

We missed the preflop action between Thomas Boivin and Joseph Zona but there was over 100,000 already in the middle with a {4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{9-Clubs} board showing.

Boivin led out for 155,000 from late position and was facing a 553,000 all in raise Zona made from the cutoff. After very careful consideration, Boivin tossed in a chip for the call and the two players tabled their hands.

Joseph Zona: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Thomas Boivin: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}

Boivin flopped top pair but was well behind Zona's pocket aces and neither the {4-Hearts} turn nor the {4-Spades} river changed a thing as Zona collected the massive double up.

Putinas Rivers Four Card Flush to Eliminate Matakis

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Ian Matakis
Ian Matakis

Gintautas Putinas raised under then gun and then called the three-bet jam Ian Matakis put in on the button.

Ian Matakis: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Gintautas Putinas: {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

Matakis had Putinas crushed but the {10-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop brought backdoor flush outs for Putinas.

Unfortunately for Matakis, that's exactly what played out as the {a-Clubs} turn followed by the {k-Clubs} river completed the flush for Putinas and the Minnesota native was eliminated from the tournament.

Mosley Scores Double Knockout

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Dominique Mosley
Dominique Mosley

Dylan DeStefano raised to 185,000 under the gun and left himself a single T1,000 chip behind. Quang Vu then called off for around 80,000 next to action before action folded to Dominique Mosley in the big blind. He asked for a count and then just called.

After the flop came down {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{j-Spades}, Mosley checked and then called when DeStefano bet his last chip.

Dominique Mosley: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Dylan DeStefano: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Quang Vu: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Mosley had flopped a set of nines and scored the double elimination after the {5-Hearts} was run out on the turn followed by the {10-Clubs} on the river.

Vu finished in 87th place for $34,708 and DeStefano took 86th for the same amount.
