Deitrich Kuhl Eliminated in 12th Place ($1,067)

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Deitrich Kuhl flopped a set of fours, but waited until the turn to get it in.

Unfortunately for him, Xiaohu Chen turned a set of kings and doubled through him.

A few hands later he shipped it short with king-high. Chen had ace-high, flopped an ace and sent Kuhl to the cage to grab 12th-place money.

Irachi Busts Two

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Sammy Iraci
Sammy Iraci

Sammy Iraci has vaulted near the top of the chip counts and Carl Sellars and Travell Thomas are both out.

Thomas shipped it short, getting called in three spots. The {q-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop thinned the herd a bit as Iraci bet 40,000 and only Sellars called. Iraci checked the {3-Diamonds} turn and called when Sellars bet 50,000.

Iraci then shipped the {Q-Spades} river and Sellars called off the last of his stack. Iraci was the only one to show with {k-}{q-} and took it down.
