Bermudes Leaves Elmore on Fumes

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Brandon Elmore
Brandon Elmore

Brandon Elmore raised to 25,000 on the button, and Jose Bermudes called in the small blind.

Bermudes led out for 35,000 on the {4-Spades}{8-Spades}{a-Diamonds} flop, and Elmore called.

Bermudes bet 40,000 on the {3-Spades} turn, and Elmore jammed for 177,000. Bermudes called off for 171,000 total.

Jose Bermudes: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}
Brandon Elmore: {6-Spades}{2-Spades}

Both players held a flush, but the ace-high flush of Bermudes held on the {8-Clubs} river when Elmore couldn't spike a straight flush. The duo shared a fist bump after the hand, and Elmore was left with under a big blind.

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
John Ames
John Ames

John Ames had his last 110,000 in preflop from the cutoff, and was at risk against Alex Wheeler in middle position.

John Ames: {a-Spades}{7-Spades}
Alex Wheeler: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}

Both players paired up on the {2-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} flop, and Wheeler picked up extra outs on the {10-Clubs} turn with a gutshot. The {8-Clubs} river bricked off, and Ames doubled up.

Helsper Nets a Double

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Todd Helsper jammed for 88,000 from under the gun, and Andrew Dockins had him at risk on the button.

Todd Helsper: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Andrew Dockins: {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Helsper got a sweat when the {10-Clubs}{q-Spades}{q-Hearts} flop gave Dockins an open-ended straight draw, but the {q-Diamonds} turn and {4-Diamonds} river bricked off to secure the double.

Pigago and Dace Out

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Danny Pigago
Danny Pigago

Danny Pigago jammed for 43,000 from the cutoff, and was at risk against Jose Mendoza on the button.

Danny Pigago: {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Jose Mendoza: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

"I'm live!" Pigago said with a grin.

Pigago hit top pair on the {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} flop to take the lead, and held on the {j-Clubs} turn. The {k-Hearts} river gave Mendoza Broadway, however, and Pigago was eliminated, just shortly after John Dace also made his exit from the tournament.

Lundstrom Runs Into Rockets

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Joel Lundstrom
Joel Lundstrom

Mark Rathe limped in from the cutoff, and Joel Lundstrom jammed for 95,000 from the button. Henry Gingerich three-bet jammed for 115,000 in the small blind, and Rathe folded.

Joel Lundstrom: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Henry Gingerich: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

Gingerich would end up with aces-full on an {a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{q-Spades} runout, and he eliminated Lundstrom. At the same time, Terry Gardner busted at an outer table to bring the field down to 41 players.

Bartlett Turns a Set and Gets Paid

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Cody Bartlett
Cody Bartlett

Chris Berry jammed for 130,000 from the big blind with an {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Hearts} board on the felt, and Adam Craig folded in middle position. Cody Bartlett snap-called for his last 110,000 in the cutoff, and for good reason:

Cody Bartlett: {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}
Chris Berry: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

Bartlett's set held on the {6-Diamonds} river, and he doubled up. Berry busted one hand later.
