Graeme Putt Eliminated in 10th Place ($1,002)

Graeme Putt moved all in for 64,000 from UTG, Roger Codeca moved all in over the top from the cutoff and the blinds folded. Putt turned up {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} but was in bad shape against Codeca's {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}.

As the flop came down, the {9-Hearts} was in the door, but the {J-Clubs} was right behind it, making both players sets. Putt couldn't catch the case 9, and he was eliminated in 10th place, collecting $1,002 for his performance.

Ram Dy Cripples Janar Kiivramees

In yet another pre-flop all in, Ram Dy tangled with Janar Kiivramees, Dy holding {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}, Kiivramees with {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}. The flop came down {10-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}, pairing Dy's ten. The turn was the {8-Diamonds}, the river was the {5-Clubs}, and Dy dragged the monster pot, increasing his stack to 300,000.
