Mark Hodge Eliminated in 10th Place ($5,231)

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Mark Hodge - 10th Place
Mark Hodge - 10th Place

Mark Hodge shoved all in from the cutoff for 295,000, and Jeff Klein peeked at his hole cards in the big blind. He immediately dropped in a call upon seeing {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}. Hodge held {a-Spades}{10-Clubs} and asked for face cards. He got them as {k-Clubs}{9-Spades}{j-Spades} flopped. The {8-Clubs} gave him even more outs with an open-ender. A {2-Spades} river was a brick though, and Hodge followed up his seventh-place finish at Mid-States Poker Tour Canterbury Park last month with a 10th place here in Jacksonville.

Lewis Can't Hit

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Hal Lewis
Hal Lewis

Andrew Dykeman opened for 50,000 just before the level change and called the shove of Hal Lewis in the big blind, who had about 400,000.

Dykeman: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Lewis: {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Lewis needed help, but the {3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} flop didn't provide any.

"Need more than that," he said.

An {a-Diamonds} slimmed his outs to just three. No jack hit the river.

Klein Gets Another Wish; McCullers Busto

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Jeff Klein got what he asked for - twice.
Jeff Klein got what he asked for - twice.

We found Jeff Klein considering an all-in check-raise from Alan Phillips. The flop had come {10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, and Phillips was in for 248,000 more. Klein was thinking hard, muttering to himself about possible hands.

"I fold, I'm folding the best hand," he said. Moments later, he splashed in a call.

Klein: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Phillips: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Klein did not, in fact, have the best hand. The turn was an {a-Diamonds}.

"Give me a seven," Klein said.

River: {7-Spades}

The table erupted in amazement as Klein binked his second straight set on the river after requesting one from the dealer.

"Million dollar pot," Phillips said wistfully.

"You shoulda reraised me preflop," Klein said as he dragged the pot.

"I was very happy with the way things turned out," Phillips said.

At the other table, Austin McCullers busted, saying he lost a race.

"All You Gotta Do is Ask"

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

We found Jason Murray all in and at risk for about 390,000 before the flop against Jeff Klein.

Klein: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Murray: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The {10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop gave Murray a big lead.

"Eight," Klein urged. "Eight."

The dealer instead placed down a {2-Hearts}.

"Eight."

Klein got his wish with an {8-Clubs} river.

"All you gotta do is ask," he said.
