[user153638]

Nível 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

"All in and a call Table 376," a dealer bellowed. We made our way over and discovered that there was around 400,000 in the pot on a board reading . Jared "harrington25" Bleznick had gotten his last 468,000 all in and was in prime shape to double through Michael Finstein.

Bleznick:
Finstein:

Finstein had flopped top pair with top kicker, but it was no good as Bleznick held an overpair. With the ESPN cameras capturing the action, the dealer burned and put out the ! Finstein spiked an ace to steal the pot, which inspired some moans and groans from the other players at the table. Bleznick simply stared at the board in disbelief as he watched his 2014 WSOP Main Event come to a screeching halt in 217th place for $44,728.

Eyster Ousted

Nível 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Kevin Eyster, pictured in an earlier event.

Roland Israelashvili raised to 32,000 from middle position, and Jason Johnson made the call in the cutoff. Kevin Eyster shipped from the button, putting the squeeze on Israelashvili, who folded, but Johnson quickly called.

Johnson:
Eyster:

Eyster had a slight lead, but it became a big deficit on the flop, giving Johnson top two. A turn brought even more grim news, as Eyster was down to one out, and the river gave Johnson the nuts.

"Good luck, boys," Eyster said as he grabbed his backpack.

Johnson, a Michigan native, has already had plenty of luck and skill at the 2014 World Series of Poker. He's banked more than $400,000 from deep runs in the Millionaire Maker (seventh place) and Event #44: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em (third). A November Nine run would be quite the cherry on top.

Players have headed to the exits for the second break of the day, only now there are about 60 fewer than the last time we took a 20-minute breather.

Bruno Politano snagged a huge chip lead by dealing a vicious cooler to Zach Jiganti. You can read about the exciting hand here.

Raj Vohra was sent packing early in the level by Matt Waxman, who has run his stack up over 1.7 million. Just moments later, Mark “Dipthrong” Herm busted out with top pair. Jared Bleznick followed them to the rail when his pocket queens were outdrawn by Michael Finstein, who had flopped a pair of nines with and turned a brutal two pair after getting Bleznick all in.

Kevin “1sickdisease” Eyster, a former top-ranked online crusher who has transitioned smoothly to the live arena to the tune of over $2 million in earnings, also fell this level. He three-bet shoved all in from the button with and lost a race against the of Jason Johnson.

Jeff Madsen also fell late in the level.

Notables Mike Wattel (200th), Nathan Bjerno (210th), Ankush Mandavia (216th), Ola Amundsgard (237th), and Kevin MacPhee (242nd) headed for the rail as well.

Mikiyo Aoki just won another big pot and bumped her stack up to 2.56 million, which means she's now in the Top 10 with 174 players remaining.

We caught the action on the turn when the board read , as Eddy Sabat put in 225,000 to call Aoki's raise.

Aoki was seated on the button and on the river, the , Sabat checked to his opponent. Aoki quickly bet 275,000 and Sabat tanked for a couple of minutes.

"I need to call the clock on myself," Sabat finally said, leaving the dealer very confused.

"What?" the dealer said.

"Yes, I want the clock on myself," Sabat repeated himself and the dealer called a member of the floor staff over.

"This player wants to call the clock on himself," the dealer said.

"You can't call the clock on yourself," the member of the floor staff said.

"Clock," Scott Palmer immediately said, helping Sabat's cause.

The clock was winding down on Sabat and within 10 seconds he made the call.

Aoki turned over and she raked in the pot with a flush, as Sabat shook his head knowing he was left with a small stack.
