Jonathan Wilson got all of his chips in preflop with pocket aces versus the pocket queens of Clyde Lorance. The runout was not kind to Wilson, however, as the river put out the fifth piece of a king-high straight for Lorance.
Lauren Blase had nicely nursed a short stack into the money and got her last 23,000 in the middle with pocket aces, well ahead of the pocket kings of Terry Presley, but the run out cruelly eliminated her from the tournament.
Presley, on the other hand is running hot, having also eliminated a player just before the break.
We didn't catch the action but were able to reconstruct with the help of Curtis Edens, who clashed with another big stack in Daniel Lowery.
After a preflop raise and three-bet from Edens, Lowery made the call to see a flop of . Lowery check-called a bet of 40,000 and then shoved all in after the turn and Edens snap-called tabling for the nut flush. Lowery's had no outs and Edens gathered the huge pot and eliminated Lowery.
