Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Justin Bonomo, Isaac Haxton & Jason Koon

This year's nominees for the Poker Hall of Fame have been announced, with the eight individuals now heading to the living members of the Hall for voting.

Each member can vote for up to four nominees, and anyone receiving votes from 22 or more members earns an automatic induction. This change, from a previous "winner-takes-all" format allowing for only one induction per year, was announced earlier this month.

Five of the eight nominees are first-time nominees, having met the minimum age requirement of 40. Eight-time WSOP bracelet winner Shaun Deeb headlines these players; he is joined by Jason Koon, Isaac Haxton, Chris Moorman, and Justin Bonomo.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Piotr Krupa
Piotr Krupa

Action was picked up on the turn in a sizable pot between Hen Rosilio in the small blind, Piotr Krupa in the big blind, Alex Foxen in the cutoff.

The board read AKJ7 and Roslio checked to Krupa who bet 100,000 and Foxen called. Rosilio raised to 546,000 and Krupa called to put himself at risk for 363,000 and Foxen raised behind him to put Rosilio all in.

Piotr Krupa: AKQ4 All in
Hen Rosilio: Q10104 All in
Alex Foxen: Q1098

Krupa was in dire straights being chopped up by both of his opponents, but the river 7 gave him a flush.

"Let's go!" he screamed as he raked in the seven-figure pot as the players in the tournament remained two away from the money.

Bubble Life Support

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The shortest stacks in the field, as hand for hand begins.

Seward Leaves Some Behind

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Michael Zulker opened to 14,000 under the gun before facing a three-bet to 44,000 from Nicholas Seward in the big blind, which he called.

Both players checked on the 783 flop, but when Seward checked for a second time on the 2 turn, Zulker bet 20,000, which Seward called.

The action checked through once again on the 5 river, and Seward was left disappointed after rolling over his AAK6, for the nut flush. Zulker flashed a couple of his cards, showing he had the queen-high flush but had checked back.

"I'm the worst," Seward reflected.

The flop rolled out K52 and Halatenko called Houssain's jam for 51,000.

Jalil Houssain: AAJ9 All in
Stanislav Halatenko: J753

Halatenko improved to fives up on the 3 turn and nothing changed on the Q river, leaving the start of day chip leader to eliminate Houssain from the tournament.
