    Jesper Hougaard Eliminates Jeremy Schofer

    And our final table is set. Schofer moved all in for his last 50,000 and Jesper Hougaard called. Everyone else folded and when Hougaard turned over {A-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} Schofer said, "Yeah, you've got me dominated" and showed {Q-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}. The {6-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} flop left Schofer drawing very thin indeed and when the {7-Hearts} turned and the {2-Spades} hit on the river Jeremy Schofer was our tenth-place finisher and our final table was set.

    And here are the nine players who will return tomorrow at 2pm to play for the bracelet:

    Aaron Kanter

    Doug Middleton
    Danny Wong

    Owen Crowe Eliminates Tom Braband

    All the money went in before the flop with Crowe holding {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} to Braband's pocket nines. The {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} gave Crowe trips and left Braband desperate for a nine. And the {9-Clubs} spiked on the river, giving Braband a full house and making it look like he'd double up. But the {4-Clubs} on the river gave Crowe a higher full house, and that cruel river eliminated Braband and increased Crowe's stack to 700,000.
