Day 2 Completed

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
Cody Slaubaugh
Owen Crowe
Rick Solis
Doug Middleton
Danny Wong
Justin Wald
John Shipley
Jesper Hougaard

Join us tomorrow at 2pm for our final table coverage.

Rick Solis Cripples Jeremy Schofer

Solis moved all in from early position with {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} and Schofer called with {K-Clubs} {K-Spades}. But the flop came {2-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {A-Hearts}, giving Solis a set, and as the board ran out {4-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} Solis survived and doubled to 640,000 while Schofer was left with just 50,000.

Justin Wald Eliminates Bryan Paris

Justin Wald raised to 45,000 under the gun and Bryan Paris moved in for his last 334,000 from the cutoff. Wald called and his pocket nines were racing against Paris' {A-Spades} {Q-Spades}. Wald made a set on the {J-Spades} {9-Clubs} {K-Clubs} flop and Paris was drawing to an inside straight. The {A-Diamonds} and {7-Diamonds} fell on thet turn and river and Bryan Paris was eliminated in 11th place.

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.

Cody Slaubaugh Eliminates Craig Douglas

The Slaubaugh Reign of Terror at Table 46 continues. He just eliminated Craig Douglas when he raised to 44,000 under the gun and Douglas called in the big blind. The flop came {7-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {J-Spades}, Douglas bet 75,000, Slaubaugh raised to 150,000, Craig moved all in and Cody called. Slaubaugh's {A-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} had Douglas' {J-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} dominated and when the board ran out {3-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} Douglas was eliminated. Slaubaugh is up to 1.59 million.

Cody Slaubaugh Eliminates Bryan Micon

Slaubaugh raised to 44,000 and Micon moved in for his last 203,000. Slaubaugh called with {8-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} to Micon's {K-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}, but Slaubaugh hit a pair on the {10-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} flop and when the {4-Diamonds} on the turn and the {2-Spades} on the river missed him Bryan Micon was eliminated. Slaubaugh is now up to 1.23 million.

Cody Slaubaugh Eliminates John MacDonald

MacDonald raised to 40,000 and Slaubaugh called from the cutoff. The flop came {Q-Hearts} {3-Spades} {J-Spades} and when MacDonald pushed Slaubaugh called and turned over {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}. MacDonald had a gutshot draw with the {A-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} but when the board ran out {9-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} MacDonald was eliminated and Slaubaugh was up to 900,000.
