In Level 16 with blinds of 1,500/3,000, "Grandma#0069" raised to 6,000 in the cutoff and "king12929" defended their big blind, taking action heads up to a flop of {10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts}. "king12929" checked to "Grandma#0069", who made a continuation-bet of 6,750. "king12929" check-reraised to a pot-sized figure of 33,750 and "Grandma#0069" three-bet shoved for 62,250. "king12929" called.

"Grandma#0069": {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
"king12929": {10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}

"Grandma#0069" saw their top two pair run into a flopped set. The turn {k-Hearts} gave them extra full house outs, but none hit on the river {7-Spades} and they were eliminated from the tournament.

Earlier in the level, "DomeGod69420" eliminated both "LucierTheDevo" and "MarcZumoff". The trio of eliminations brings the field down to 12 across two full tables. Just one elimination is needed to make it into the money, and hand-for-hand play has begun until the bubble bursts.

"MR.20InchArms" Gets an Accommodating River

In Level 15 with blinds of 1,250/2,500, "Boomer24709" opened to 5,000 under the gun and "youngwizard69" called in the cutoff for one-third of their stack. "MR.20InchArms" also came along in the small blind and action went three ways to a flop of {q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, where action checked to "Boomer24709" and they made a continuation-bet of 5,000. "youngwizard69" folded and "MR.20InchArms" called.

Action was then heads up to the turn {8-Hearts} and "MR.20InchArms" checked again. "Boomer24709" made a pot-sized second barrel of 27,500 and "MR.20InchArms" check-jammed for 73,067. "Boomer24709" called.

"MR.20InchArms": {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
"Boomer24709": {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{10-Spades}

Both players had turned the nut straight but "MR.20InchArms" had a straight flush draw to go with it. The river {k-Hearts} filled up their flush and scored them the entirety of the pot, leaving "Boomer24709" with just 17,000 after the hand was done.

Within the next few hands, both "Boomer24709" and "youngwizard69" were eliminated from the tournament.

"89chief": {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

Last Level of the Registration Period

Level 14 has just begun with blinds of 1,000/2,000. It is the final level of the late-registration period, which will close at the top of the hour at 11:00 exactly. Twenty-one players currently remain out of 71 entries with 13 minutes left until registration closes and the prize pool becomes official.

"youngwizard69" Conjures Aces-Versus-Kings Scenario

"youngwizard69"
"youngwizard69"

In Level 13 with blinds of 800/1,600, action folded to "youngwizard69" in the small blind and they raised the pot, making it 4,800 to go. "NeolithicFarmer" made a pot-sized three-bet to 14,400 in the big blind, and "youngwizard69" four-bet to the size of the pot once more, totaling 43,200. They had just 3,212 behind afterwards and called it off when "NeolithicFarmer" five-bet to put them all in.

"youngwizard69": {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{j-Spades}{7-Spades}
"NeolithicFarmer": {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

A battle of the blinds saw stacks go in preflop with the result being pocket aces versus pocket kings. The flop {9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs} didn't change much, but the turn {7-Hearts} gave "NeolithicFarmer" three more outs to an eight for two pair on the river. Instead, the runout was completed with {a-Clubs} to secure the double "youngwizard" with a set of aces.
