He has just doubled up Tyler Cornell who held pocket nines against Honeybone's {Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {2-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{2-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and Cornell moves up to 55,000 leaving Honeybone with around 60,000.

Sol Bergren Eliminated

Sol Bergren was all in pre-flop with {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} but ran into the {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} of Jean Gianotti. The flop of {2-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{J-Hearts} wasn't pretty for Bergren however he still had straight draw outs. However the turn of {3-Spades} and river {5-Diamonds} didn't hit Bergren and he was eliminated just short of the money stage of the tournament. Jean Gianotti now jumps to around 250,000 chips.
