Jake Schindler

Action went a little crazy over the last few hands with three all-ins called, one double with cracked aces, and two knockouts.

On Table 1, Jake Schindler was all in against Sam Soverel for 86,000. Soverel was dominating with AcQc against AsTs and the 8d7s5c9dKh board could not save Schindler’s entry.

On Table 2, Erik Seidel was all in for 55,000 with Ts7s against Stephen Chidwick’s AsAc. The 9h5h2d8hJs run out was an ace-cracking board and Seidel had his double.

Chidwick was left short and picked up pocket nines. He put his stack in the middle and ran into the AsAc of Seidel to exit.

Both Schindler and Chidwick hit the registration desk to take another shot while pushing the Super High Roller prize pool over $1,000,000.

Joe McKeehen

With 56,000 in the pot and the complete board reading AhKh7hJc6c, Elio Fox announced “all in” and Joe McKeehen was on the button with a decision for his last 76,000.

Fox put his head back down on the table, the same when he doubled through Jake Schindler, and McKeehen with top pair AcQc. Fox flashed what looked like JdTd and they went in the muck to give McKeehen the double.

In the meantime, Tom Marchese re-entered the tournament and Bryn Kenney added another unique entry to push the count to 20.

Joe McKeehen – 209,000
Elio Fox – 184,000

Tom Marchese

There were big hands going down on each table but only one had a reportable result. Stephen Chidwick and Joe McKeehen never had a showdown but Dan Shak was busy on Table 1.

Both Tom Marchese and David Peters were knocked out by Dan Shak when his Ad7d on a ts]4s3d6cKd.

“Take it all,” was all Marchese could say as he stood up.

Sam Soverel was eliminated earlier by Chris Hunichen before the second break, pocket eights no good against JackAce, and he took another shot.

Dan Shak – 148,500 (74 bb)

Jake Schindler

With the flop reading QhTs2s, Jake Schindler bet 12,500 from the small blind and Elio Fox called to see the Kh turn. Schindler checked, Fox bet 25,500 and Schindler called.

The river was 6c and Schindler checked again. Fox moved all in for 63,500 and Schindler went deep in the tank. Fox put his head down and waited.

Schindler called, Fox tabled ThTc for a set, and Schindler flashed AxKx before tossing his hand into the muck. He was left with only 10,600 and was gone two hands later.

Elio Fox – 240,000

David Peters

The board was out and complete and reading Ac9s5s7h4s. David Peters had his last 34,000 in the middle and he was at risk.

Unfortunately for the former GPI Player of the Year, his top pair AdQc was second best to the flopped set of Taylor Black with 9h9c. That result made Peters the second player eliminated and Black moved into the lead.

Taylor Black – 179,000
David Peters – Eliminated
