In a battle of the blinds, John Grace got it in with {A-Spades}{6-Hearts} versus Daniel Wagner's {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}.

The flop came {7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} giving Wagner a set. The {a-Diamonds} turn filled him up, but the {a-Hearts} river made Grace quad aces for the miraculous double up.

Kuhlmann Out, Lingenfelter Comes Back!

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 4,000 ante

Blake Napierala raise-called a Dietrich Kuhlmann push.

Kuhlmann was ahead with {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} over Napierala's {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}, but Napieralla got there on the {8-Spades}{4-Clubs}{9-Spades}{k-Spades}{5-Clubs} run out.

In the meantime, Randy Lingenfelter has miraculously turned his tiny nub of a stack into heaps again, essentially doubling up three times.

Tighe, Urbanski Out; Lingenfelter Close

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 4,000 ante
Tom Urbanski
Tom Urbanski

Shorter stacks John Yanni and Randy Lingenfelter got it all in preflop with Yanni holding {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} and Lingenfelter on {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}.

Lingenfelter turned two pair on the {8-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} board, but Tanni's aces held when he made a club flush on the {2-Clubs} river.

In the meantime, on the other table, Pat Tighe ran out of gas running pocket eights into John Grace's {k-}{q-} all in preflop. Grace flopped two pair to bust Tighe 17th.

Then suddenly, back at the other table, Kirk Acevedo and Tom Urbanski got it all in on a {2-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} board to the turn. Urbanski had nines for an overpair, but Acevedo's {10-Clubs}{2-Clubs} spiked a flush on the {3-Clubs} river to bust him 16th.

With just 15th left Acevedo has heaps and is running away with this thing.
