Adam Dahlin - 7th Place

Jonathan Olson opened for 85,000, and Adam Dahlin shoved for 557,000 from middle position. Olson asked for a count, and he called after being quoted 557,000 more.

Dahlin: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Olson: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

The flop came {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, giving Olson a flush draw. Dahlin got out of his seat and looked away from the table as if he couldn't bear to watch. The {7-Spades} turn was a blank. The dealer burned and brought the final card from the deck: {a-Spades}. Dahlin collected his bag and briskly walked to the payout desk.

Langeness Escapes With Chop

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Chance Langeness shoved all in for about 400,000 when action folded to his small blind, and Mike Holm called with {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} in the big blind. Langeness had {k-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, and the first four cards came {10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{10-Clubs}.

"Three," Langeness said.

The dealer obliged with the {3-Diamonds}.

"That's no fair," Holm said. "He calls for the card and you give it to him."

"If I would have known that, I'd have asked for a four," Langeness quipped.

"I Saw a Face Card, I Got Excited"

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Frank Huschle shoved all in for 145,000 after Adam Dahlin opened to 63,000 on the button. Dahlin appeared less than thrilled as he made the call.

"I just hope they're live," Huschle said.

They were, as he has {j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} against {k-Spades}{6-Clubs}. Huschle had a lock by the turn as the board ran out {2-Spades}{7-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}.

"I will say, your tight old guy reputation is kind of ruined," Mike Holm said.

"I saw a face card, I got excited," Huschle said.

Lance Harris Eliminated in 8th Place ($10,460)

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Lance Harris - 8th Place
Lance Harris - 8th Place

Mike Holm shoved all in for 469,000 more after Lance Harris bet 72,000 on a {5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop. Harris called.

Holm: {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Harris: {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Harris was ahead for the moment with tens, but Holm had plenty of equity with the nut flush draw and an overcard. The dealer pulled the {5-Hearts} out on the turn, giving Holm his flush. Harris knuckled the table, and he missed the {j-Clubs} river.

Left with just 30,000, Harris was all in from the big blind a few hands later. The board was {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{k-Clubs} on the turn, and Jonathan Olson check-called 40,000 into a small side pot from Adam Dahlin. Olson check-folded to 50,000 on the {5-Spades} turn. Dahlin turned over {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for top pair.

Harris peeked down at his first card: {8-Spades}.

"Alright, I have a sweat," he said. "Seven or a nine."

He squeezed out the {2-Spades} though.

Gonia "Showing Off"

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Mike Holm opened to 56,000 in the last hand at the previous level in the cutoff and he was called by David Gonia in the big blind. The flop brought {2-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{j-Clubs}, and Gonia checked. Holm bet 76,000, and Gonia made it 150,000.

"How much are you playing?" Holm asked.

"About 1.5 million," Gonia responded.

"Now he's just showing off," Holm said.

"Sorry," Gonia deadpanned.

"I'm sorry you have so many chips too," Holm said before mucking.

Matt McGrory - 9th Place
Matt McGrory - 9th Place

Action folded to Matt McGrory, who shoved all in from the small blind for roughly 270,000.

"First one's good," Chance Langeness said as he squeezed out his cards. He peeked at the second. "I call."

Langeness: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
McGrory: {a-Spades}{3-Clubs}

McGrory was dominated, but he found some help on the {2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} flop, which gave him a gutshot. No three or four appeared on the last two streets as the {10-Hearts} and {8-Diamonds} ended McGrory's run.

"Your reputation isn't very good for telling the truth," Olson said with a laugh. "I've played with you more than just today."

Joe Matheson - 10th Place

Joe Matheson raised to 60,000 from the cutoff, and David Gonia defended his big blind. Both players checked the {k-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{a-Spades} flop, and a {3-Spades} turned. Gonia bet 60,000, and Matheson cut out calling chips. He announced a raise though, pushing forward 230,000. Gonia shoved all in, and Matheson snap-called.

Gonia tabled {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} for a set.

"I have four outs," Matheson said with a sigh, showing {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}.

He missed those outs and busted tenth as the {7-Clubs} hit the river.
