Zeph Baer Eliminated in 9th Place ($8,335)

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Zeph Baer - 9th Place
Zeph Baer - 9th Place

James Wilson raised to 100,000 in early position, and Zeph Baer looked him over from the big blind after everyone folded. Baer decided the time was right and pushed all in, and Wilson called.

Baer: {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Wilson: {a-Spades}{3-Spades}

Plenty of paint flopped, but it was the {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, little use to Baer. A {7-Hearts} turn left him drawing to six outs, and the {8-Diamonds} wasn't one.

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

John Pierce jammed the small blind with just 130,000 or so.

"I think I call," James Wilson said from the big. "I haven't looked."

Wilson: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Pierce: {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

Pierce pulled ahead as {3-Clubs}{7-Spades}{9-Spades} flopped. Big cards arrived on the last two streets, but they were {q-Hearts} and {k-Diamonds}.

Mark Hodge jammed for 240,000 in middle position, and John Reading called in the cutoff.

Hodge: {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

Hodge called for face cards, but nothing higher than an eight hit the board, leaving ace-high best for Reading.

Fussy Bluffs Off a Chunk

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Peixin Liu and Leo Fussy both checked a {5-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop, and Liu bet 125,000 on the {2-Hearts} turn. Fussy made it 325,000, and Liu called. On the {3-Diamonds} river, Liu checked and Fussy quickly checked back.

"Alright, how big's your diamond?" Fussy asked.

Liu had two diamonds though, and one was very big: {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}.

Fussy showed {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

"Bad river," Liu said.
