Tens vs Nines All Over

From under the gun, Shaun Deeb raised to 5,100 and Team PokerStars Pro reraised to 15,000 out of the hijack seat. Action folded back to Deeb and he reraised all in. Greenstein called and put his 82,500 in chips on the line.

Greenstein: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Andrulis: {10-}{10-}

The tens held for Andrulis and Spindler was eliminated from the tournament. Andrulis moved to about 125,000 in chips.
