Michael Lavoie (Wolcott, CT)

We were just about to head on break, but then another player would be getting sent to the rail as Michael Lavoie was again getting unlucky against Andrew Lauer.

This time, it was Lavoie with [Kc][Ks] and Lauer, again, had [10h][10d].

Last time the ten came on the flop, this time it waited until the river to crush Lavoie as the board ran out [7d][7h][5c][Jc][10s].

Slightly kidding, slightly not, Lauer said after the flop, just loud enough for the table to hear, "I think it's coming."

It came and in an alternate universe, on another day, Michael Lavoie is sitting with all the chips and the trophy, but after getting pocket Aces and Kings cracked in back to back big hands with Andrew Lauer, that would not be the case this time around, as he'd be sent to the rail in 7th place, making $1,774 for his efforts.

Players are now heading on their break, with the updated chip counts listed below:

1. Spencer Champlin - 150,000
2. Nick Palma - 450,000
3. Steven Murphy - 100,000
4. James Freebody - 90,000
5. Andrew Lauer - 1,400,000
6. Teddy Geddes - 950,000

We are also going to be coming back to Level 24, where the big blind with "cost" 30,000 chips, meaning that there are just over 100 total big blinds in play.
