Hill Gets Another Monster Hand

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Lucas Hill raised to 150,000 from the cutoff with {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}, Chris Lindner called in the small blind with {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}, and Alex Conatser called in the big blind with {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}.

The {7-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop had a little something for everyone, as Conatser flopped an open-ender, Hill held an overpair and the second nut flush draw, and Lindner had eights and a smaller flush draw. Lindner bet 110,000, Conatser called, and Hill raised to 575,000. That was enough to chase both Lindner and Conatser from the hand.

Conatser Takes the Chip Lead

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Chris Lindner raised to 125,000 from under the gun with {10-Spades}{7-Spades}, and Alex Conatser called in the cutoff with {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}.

The {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop was an action one, and Lindner bet 200,000 with his open-ended straight draw. Conatser, who flopped middle set, called.

The {7-Clubs} put a one-liner straight on the board, and Lindner checked. Conatser bet 400,000, and Lindner called.

The {4-Spades} river bricked off for Lindner, and Conatser won the pot after both players checked.

Conatser's Ace is Higher Than Hill's

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Lucas Hill raised to 160,000 with the {a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} from under the gun, and Alex Conatser called in the small blind with {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

Conatser checked the {6-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop, and Hill bet 200,000 with his ace-high and backdoor nut flush draw. Conatser tanked for a bit, then called.

The {8-Hearts} turn and {5-Hearts} river were checked through, and Conatser won the pot with his superior kicker.

Hill Gives Up on the Bluff

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Lucas Hill opened to 110,000 from the small blind with {q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, and John Gribben called from the big blind with {a-Clubs}{5-Hearts}.

Hill checked the {6-Spades}{a-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop, Gribben bet 100,000, and Hill check-raised to 475,000 with just queen high. Gribben stayed put and made the call.

No further action happened on the {4-Hearts} turn and {k-Spades} river, and Gribben took the pot with the pair of aces.

Ricky Guan Eliminated in 6th Place ($5,700)

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Ricky Guan

John Gribben jammed in the small blind, and Ricky Guan called off his last 470,000 in the big blind.

Ricky Guan: {8-Hearts}{7-Spades}
John Gribben: {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

Gribben hit his eight on the {5-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} flop, leaving "ratedGTO" looking for an ace to survive. The {7-Clubs} turn paired both players, but it was Gribben's eights-up that earned him the knockout of the dangerous Guan.

Everyone Loves a Chop Pot, Even a Wild One

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

John Gribben raised to 90,000 from under the gun with {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, and called a three-bet to 365,000 from Lucas Hill in the big blind with {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}.

Hill jammed the {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{j-Clubs} flop with his two overs and a gutter, and Gribben, who flopped a gutter and the nut flush draw himself, snap-called.

The {7-Spades} turn opened a lot of chop outs up for Gribben, and the {j-Hearts} river gave both players jacks and sevens with an ace. Chop it up!

Guan Getting Short

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Chris Lindner raised to 95,000 from under the gun with {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}, and Ricky Guan called in the big blind with {a-Spades}{4-Clubs}.

Guan check-called 100,000 on the {k-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop with his gutshot, and both players checked the {3-Clubs} turn. The {9-Diamonds} river left Lindner's kings-up best, and Guan check-folded to a bet of 200,000 from Lindner.
