...at this level, 2000 is in the pot before the cards are dealt...TikTak FINALLY shoves all-in with 256 in chips, which gets three callers. the flop is JACK SEVEN DEUCE, and tomsworld bets his seven-deuce into it to eliminate tiktak2 on the bubble.

now ITM, JohnnyTigre open-shoves AJo, which is called by ZephyrZero's AKo...JohnnyTigre out at 7th...

now 6-handed, Noelski times his shove, and finally goes in with JQo, which tomsworld calls with 66. Tom flops a set of sixes and ends all tourney hopes for Noelski, who is out at 6th...now at the bottom of the heap, Stonecold-PJ is feeling the pressure and bets all but one chip into tomsworld, who sits at the lead with 32k. he takes it down and moves up slightly to 14k...still 9k behind the next player.

with four of the five players over the 20k mark, they rock along while stonecold-pj waits to make a move with his last 8565...stonecold is in the SB when sarge makes a button-raise for 4k...stonecold shoves over it and he is called with sarge's premium raising hand: 56s ?!? sarge spikes a six (like he knew he would) and stonecold's AT blanks out... he is donkeyed out at 5th place.
