Quick Over a Million and Into the Lead

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Russell Quick
Russell Quick

With over 100,000 in the middle on a turn board of {4-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, Russell Quick bet 65,000 from middle position and was called by Brian Schaedlich on the button.

On the {10-Spades} river, Quick bet 115,000 and Schaedlich called.

Quick showed {4-Spades}{4-Hearts} for a flopped set and Schaedlich mucked.

With the win, Quick has taken the chip lead and entered seven-figure chip territory.

Smith Doubles Through Turvin

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Frederick Smith
Frederick Smith

With a healthy pot already built by the {4-Hearts}{q-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Spades} turn, Rodney Turvin checked in middle position to Frederick Smith in the hijack, and Smith moved all in for 225,000.

Turvin pondered but chose to call to put Smith at risk.

Smith showed {10-Spades}{9-Spades} for a turned flush, while Turvin showed {k-Spades}{q-Clubs} for top pair with a better flush draw with the queen.

The river {3-Clubs} couldn't bring what Turvin needed and he sent about a third of his stack to Smith.

Li Eliminated by Turvin

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Yichi Li
Yichi Li

Rodney Turvin raised to 25,000 on the button and a very short-stacked Yichi Li put in his last 30,000 in the big blind. Turvin obviously called.

Yichi Li: {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Rodney Turvin: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The board came {4-Spades}{7-Spades}{k-Clubs}{5-Spades}{a-Spades} bringing the wrong colored cards for Li and pairing Turvin's ace on the river for the win.

Li finishes in 19th place for $5,552.

Patel Takes a Pair of Hits

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Talesh Patel
Talesh Patel

After Aftab Patni raised to 28,000 in the cutoff, Talesh Patel three-bet to 75,000 on the button.

Patni called and the duo saw the {j-Spades}{8-Spades}{10-Clubs} flop and checked it.

On the {j-Hearts} turn though, Patni led for 70,000 and Patel folded.

On the following hand, Patel raised to 35,000 in the cutoff and got three-bet to 100,000 by Rodney Turvin on the button.

Patel called to see the {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop and promptly check-folded to a bet of 100,000 from Turvin.

George Zinaty

George Zinaty moved all in from the cutoff for 109,000 and got called by Hyndi Khomutetsky in the small blind.

George Zinaty: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Hyndi Khomutetsky: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The board came {3-Spades}{j-Spades}{3-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}, pairing Khomutetsky's jack immediately and improving her to a better two pair on the turn to send Zinaty to the rail in 20th place with $5,552.

Maliauka and Patel Next Two Quick Eliminations

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

James Solana raised to 25,000 in early position and was called by Hyndi Khomutetsky in the cutoff. Aftap Patni then moved all in for 157,000 on the button and Solana called. Khomutetsky folded to leave the pot heads-up.

James Solana: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Aftap Patni: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

The board came {2-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{4-Clubs}, pairing Patni's ace on the turn to earn him the elimination.

Meanwhile, at another table, Toby Boas scored another elimination as he called Clyde Maliauka's 137,000 chip all-in with ace-king versus Maliauka's ace-ten and held to boost his stack to near a million.

Eliminations in 25th to 32nd Place ($4,081)

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Two Quick Post Redraw Eliminations

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The chip leader entering the day, Brett Feder has fallen just after the redraw.

He got his last 225,000 in preflop with ace-jack versus Toby Boas' queens and failed to improve.

Meanwhile, Matthew Johnson had the shortest stack remaining and got his last 50,000 or so in with {q-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and ran into Maxwell Young's {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}, also failing to improve to survive.
