Glen Chorny - eliminated

The first of the Round Three matches has come to a swift conclusion. Huck Seed moved all in on the river of a board that read {7-?}

{7-?}

{Q-?}

{9-?}

{Q-?}

{5-?}

. Glen Chorny shocked the gallery by calling without much thought. He turned over {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

, having rivered a nine-high straight. Seed was better -- he showed {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{9-Diamonds}

for a full house, nines full of queens.

Chorny is the first player eliminated from the Round of 16. He earns $25,000 in prize money. Seed moves on to the quarterfinals for the second year in a row and third time in the five years of this tournament.
