Seth Gutz Eliminated in 9th Place ($3,627)

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Seth Gutz
Seth Gutz

Seth Gutz jammed for 300,000 from middle position, and Shawn Stevenson called in the cutoff. Jose Bermudes three-bet shoved for 365,000 in the small blind, and Stevenson called to put both players at risk.

Seth Gutz: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Jose Bermudes: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Shawn Stevenson: {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

"I've got my favorite hand! Let's go!" Bermudes said enthusiastically.

The {4-Spades}{6-Hearts}{a-Spades} flop prompted Bermudes to leap from the table with excitement, and he held on the {10-Hearts} turn and {j-Diamonds} river to nearly triple up, while Gutz was eliminated in ninth.

Flop Bet Takes it for Barksdale

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Much of the action so far has been of the raise and take it variety, but in a recent hand, Nick Barksdale raised to 80,000 from the button, and Cody Bartlett elected to call in the big blind and see a flop.

Bartlett checked the {6-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} flop to Barksdale, who bet 80,000. Bartlett flashed the {j-Diamonds} from his hand, then mucked.

Paul Matzinger Eliminated in 11th Place ($2,925)

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Paul Matzinger
Paul Matzinger

Cody Bartlett raised to 70,000 from the cutoff, and Paul Matzinger called in the small blind.

Matzinger checked the {8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop, and Bartlett bet 80,000. Matzinger check-raised to 175,000 and Bartlett called.

Matzinger fired 150,000 on the {10-Diamonds} turn, and Bartlett called.

The {a-Diamonds} fell on the river, and Matzinger waved his hands at the table and announced, "All in," for 1.09 million. Bartlett tanked for a few minutes before making the call, showing {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for trip fives as he did. Matzinger threw his {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades} down on the felt, and after the stacks were counted, Matzinger found he was covered, and the Day 1b chip leader fell just shy of the final table.
