Joseph Skarzynski

With Level 15 coming to an end, it looked Joseph Skarzynski would take the overall lead with nearly 400,000. But he lost a few pots and dropped 297,000; still good enough for the end-of-flight lead among the 63 survivors and only a bit higher than Michael Cohen’s 295,000.

We will have all the official chip counts and seat assignments as soon as they are available.

Rex Clinkscales

With ten minutes remaining in the day, tournament staff paused the clock to play three more hands at all tables. But before that could happen, defending champ Rex Clinkscales was all in for 53,200 and he ran into a monster.

His KcQc was dominated by AcAh but the KsQd2d was kind. Clinkscales top two was best and stayed that way on the 3h turn and Jc river for his late day double.

Rex Clinkscales – 113,000

Level 13: 800/1,600 with a 200 ante

Trevor Hurst

Action folded around to Trevor Hurst in the small blind and he accidentally raised. He tossed out 2,500 when he meant to only call and was forced to min-raise to 3,200. The big blind, described by Rex Clinkscales as “the tightest player at the table”, moved all in for 32,300

“Screw it,” Hurst said. “I call.”

Hurst: 9h6h
Big Blind: AdKc

Hurst was on the verge of sending half of his stack to his neighbor but he paired the Qd6c4s flop to get a yell from the table. The 8c turn and 3h river finished the board and Hurst sent the big blind out while taking some needles from the rest of the table.

Haim Toorgeman

With the board reading Th5s2sJh, Wayne Daley bet 18,000 and Haim Toorgeman raised to 50,000 from middle position. Daley called, the river came 3s, and Daley announced: “all in”.

Toorgeman appeared to be unhappy, called off for his last 28,000 and Daley immediately said: “straight flush.”

Daley: As4s
Toorgeman: JdTc

Daley was good with the spade steel wheel (straight flush to the five) and Toorgeman was eliminated with his top two.

Wayne Dayley – 215,000
Haim Toorgeman – Eliminated
