Michael Rodgers raised in the cutoff to 20,000 and on the button, Thom Roholt potted to put himself all in for 76,000 and Rodgers called.
Thom Roholt: A♥2♣3♦4♥10♥
Michael Rodgers: A♠K♠K♥8♣5♣
The board ran out 3♦9♠10♠9♦Q♦ and despite Roholt flopping two pair, Rodgers turned kings up and it held on the river to eliminate Roholt from the tournament.
Niveau: 17
Blinds: 4,000/8,000
Ante: 8,000
Aaron Duczak raised to 13,000 in first position which saw Robrecht Winterink call on the button. In the small blind, Leonid Yanovski potted to 54,000 and Duczak folded while Winterink called for slightly less to put himself at risk.
Robrecht Winterink: A♣Q♣Q♠6♥4♠
Leonid Yanovski: A♥K♥10♣5♥2♥
The board ran out K♦K♣6♥8♠6♣ and the three kings were good for Yanovski to take down the pot while Winterink exited the tournament area.
At another table, David Bach was eliminated from the tournament.
Michael Donovan opened the betting to 20,000 from the small blind and was called by Aaron Duczak in the hijack.
The chips went flying on a flop of 6♠7♠10♣ with both players ending up all in and Donovan covered.
Michael Donovan: A♦K♠7♦4♠2♠
Aaron Duczak: A♣A♠10♠9♠8♥
The turn fell 6♣ and the river J♥, offering no low hand. Duczak took the pot with a straight, knocking out Donovan in the process.
Action was recapped by Allen Kessler as his stack had grown significantly since the start of the day.
Kessler had seen a flop from the button and both players had gotten in their chips on a flop reading A♣2♠9♦, with Kessler having put himself all in for 38,000.
Allen Kessler: A♠Q♣7♣3♣2♥
Opponent: A♦9♠5♥4♦3♥
Kessler needed to catch a queen, running sevens, or running clubs to survive and he caught that on the Q♦A♥ runout to double up.
"Wow," he exclaimed, "I got it in drawing basically dead."
Action was picked up with cards on their backs on a flop reading 8♥8♣6♠ in a pot containing 83,000.
Alexander Orlov: A♠A♣J♣4♠3♣
Jeffrey Vaughn: A♥6♦6♥4♣2♠
The board ran out Q♦7♠ and the sixes full of eights and nut low was good enough for Vaughn to take both halves of the pot and Orlove was eliminated from the tournament.
With the flop already out and reading J♣4♣Q♦, a short-stacked Tom Koral was all in and facing Alexandr Orlov in the small blind.
Tom Koral: A♥6♦6♣3♠2♥
Alexandr Orlov: A♠Q♥9♠5♥4♠
Orlov had flopped two pair and the 9♣ on the turn meant there would be no low. After the river bricked for Koral, he was sent to the rail.
