Shorr Gone

The Esfandiari/Shorr Love Fest will have to continue another day because Shannon Shorr has been eliminated. He held {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} against the {a-Hearts}{j-Spades} of Matt Graham and the board read {9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{k-Hearts}.

Graham used that pot to chip up to 230,000.

Lunkin Takes Out Torelli

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Alec Torelli was all in preflop holding {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. He was up against the {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} of Vitaly Lunkin and avoided the overcards on a {2-Clubs}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop. However, the {a-Spades} turn left Torelli drawing thin and the {2-Diamonds} river was not what he was looking for.

As Torelli heads towards the exit, Lunkin stacks up 210,000 in chips.

Jacks Hold for Martin

Michael Martin and Gavin Smith were involved in a raising war preflop that saw Martin all in for 68,300 total holding the {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}. Smith held the {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and was looking to come from behind for the knockout.

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and Martin dodged what he needed to in order to double up.

Griffin Doubles Through Sexton

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Gavin Griffin got his final 45,300 all in preflop holding {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} up against the {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} of Mike Sexton who had made a furious come back from just 11,000 a short time ago. The momentum ended here, however, when the board ran out {5-Clubs}{k-Spades}{4-Hearts}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts} and the 95,000-chip pot was shipped to Griffin.

Sexton is now down to 30,000.
