Morgan calls with A [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Eslami shows 5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The flop comes A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3], giving Eslami a gutshot straight draw. The turn is the 6[/SIZE][SIZE=3], completing Eslami's straight. The meaningless river card is the 2[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and Eslami doubles up to $131,000. Morgan is down to $81,000. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Wed Jul 19 22:15:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Chop Saves Eslami[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Ali Eslami ($70,000) and Michael Souza ($130,000) are all-in preflop. Eslami shows the A [/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Souza jumps out of his chair to show the A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The flop comes A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The turn pairs the board (10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]) creating many more outs for Eslami to survive. The Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]plays on the river, creating a split pot and a very relieved Eslami. Souza leaves the table briefly in frusteration. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Wed Jul 19 22:15:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Rob Hollink Eliminated in 24th Place ($14,510)[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Rob Hollink pushes all-in for $57,000 from the cutoff. Jordan Morgan wakes up with A [/SIZE][SIZE=3]A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]in the small blind and makes the call. Hollink flips over 5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The flop comes 10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3], instantly giving Hollink no chance to win the hand. The turn is the 7[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and the river is the 3[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and Hollink is eliminated. Morgan currently has $138,000. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Wed Jul 19 22:19:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Robert Vecchio Eliminated in 23rd Place ($14,510)[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Immediately after coming back from the dinner break (he missed the first few hands), Robert Vecchio faces a raise of $20,000 from Chris Birchby. Vecchio pushes all in for $10,000 more. Birchby makes the call with K [/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Vecchio shows A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The board comes K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]6[/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3], pairing Birchby's King and eliminating Robert Vecchio in 23rd place. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Wed Jul 19 22:19:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Khongkham Phommaxahane Doubles Through Michael Souza[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Khongkham Phommaxahane raises all-in for $55,000 and is called by Michael Souza. Souza shows A [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Phommaxahane is in trouble withQ[/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The board comes 6[/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3]3[/SIZE][SIZE=3]3[/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Phommaxahane rivers a 10 to double to $115,000 in chips. Souza is left crippled with $12,000 in chips. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Wed Jul 19 22:23:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Wade Woelfel Eliminated 22nd ($14,510)[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]With four players seeing the flop, the board reads 10 [/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Ali Eslami bets, Richard Toth calls and Wade Woelfel goes all-in. Eslami folds and Toth calls. Woelfel is ahead (K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]) as Toth has an open ended straight draw (J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]). The 7[/SIZE][SIZE=3]gives Toth the straight and Woelfel misses his flush on the river (2[/SIZE][SIZE=3]). Toth wins the $323,000 pot. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Wed Jul 19 22:29:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Ali Eslami Flips a Coin...Literally[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Richard Toth raises to $17,000 from late position and Ali Eslami calls from the big blind. The flop comes 10 [/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Eslami checks and Toth bets $50,000. Eslami counts out his chips ($86,000) and says that he is on the fence right now. He opts to flip a coin (which turns out to be a chip because he didn't have an actual coin in his pocket). The chip lands on the "fold" side, apparently, because Eslami throws his cards in. Toth is up to $340,000 while Eslami is down to $86,000. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Wed Jul 19 22:32:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Khongkham Phommaxahane Eliminated in 21st place ($17,412)[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Khongkham Phommaxahane raises to $25,000 preflop and is called by Ashwin Sarin on the button. The flop comes K [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Phommaxahane goes all-in for his last $86,000 and Sarin makes the call. Sarin shows K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Phommaxahane shows Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The turn and river come K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Phommaxahane is eliminated in 21st place. Sarin is now up to $233,000 in chips. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Wed Jul 19 22:36:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Keith Wintermans Eliminated 20th ($17,412)[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Keith Wintermans ($65,000) moves all-in and Ashwin Sarin ($265,000) makes the call. It's a race as Wintermans has K [/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Sarin shows 7[/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The flop comes 10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]3[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The turn gives Sarin relief as he hits his set (7[/SIZE][SIZE=3]). The 8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]falls on the river. Sarin moves up to $340,000.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Wed Jul 19 22:42:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Chris Tsui Eliminated in 19th Place ($17,412)[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Chris Tsui pushes all-in for $53,000 and Paul McKinney makes the call. Tsui flips over A [/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and McKinney shows Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The board comes J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3]3[/SIZE][SIZE=3]A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. McKinney makes an unnecessary flush to eliminate Tsui in 19th place.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Wed Jul 19 22:49:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Mike Souza Eliminated in 18th place ($20,314)[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Mike Souza raises all-in from middle position for $26,000.

The board comes J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]6[/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and Souza is eliminated in 18th place. After the hand, Toth is up to $385,000.

Jordan Morgan moves all-in from the big blind, having Eslami covered. Eslami deliberates for a very long time, and finally comes to the conclusion that he needs to flip for it again. This time, the chip lands on the "call" side, and Eslami flips up 6 [/SIZE][SIZE=3]6[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Morgan has him dominated with 9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The board comes A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]3[/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and Ali Eslami is eliminated. Morgan is up to $135,000 in chips.

Dan Smith moves all-in from the button for $65,000 more. Morgan thinks for awhile and makes the call. Smith turns over A [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3], dominating Morgan's A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]6[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The flop comes 7[/SIZE][SIZE=3]6[/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3], giving Morgan a pair of 6's. The turn is the 3[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and the river is the 9[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and Dan Smith is eliminated. Morgan is up to $310,000 in chips. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Wed Jul 19 23:16:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Ashwin Sarin Takes A Big Pot Off Antonio Pane[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Ashwin Sarin raises to $18,000 and Antonio Pane makes the call from the big blind.

Staufenger needs some help, and gets it on the turn (10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]). The 6[/SIZE][SIZE=3]on the river doubles up Staufenger, who has $170,000. Carver falls to $70,000. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Wed Jul 19 23:22:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Antonio Pane Doubles Through Jordan Morgan[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Antonio Pane raises pre-flop, and Jordan Morgan comes back over the top all-in. Pane calls instantly and shows A [/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Morgan has him dominated however, with K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The flop comes Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]6[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and Morgan will need to dodge a spade, an Ace, or a Jack to eliminate Pane. The turn is a 5[/SIZE][SIZE=3], however, leaving Morgan drawing dead. The meaningless river card is the 10[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and Pane doubles up to $210,000. Morgan drops down to $198,000.

The flop brings more intrtigue as it comes K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]3[/SIZE][SIZE=3]giving Pane the lead but Abels a higher flush draw.
