Adam Geyer raised to 5,500 before the flop as the first player in from late position. Sabel Cohen called from the big blind. The flop came {J-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Cohen pushed her last 4,000 into the pot. Geyer quickly called showing {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts} for top pair top kicker, a slight favorite over Cohen's {Q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}.

'Nordberg' Eliminated in 33rd Place ($6,441)

Professional poker player Peter 'Nordberg' Feldman has just been eliminated from the tournament by fellow pro Ralph Perry. Feldman opened the pot with a standard pre-flop raise holding pocket kings and Perry made the call holding Q-10. The flop came Q-10-6 and all of the money went into the middle. Perry's top two pair held up when the turn and river blanked out, sending Feldman to the rail with $6,441 in prize money.

Last Hand of Round 10

With eight players at the table Allen Cunningham opened for a raise to 6,000 in late position. Than Nguyen called on the button, and Jason Riesenberg called from the big blind. All three players checked the flop of {10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{7-Spades} and the turn brought the {7-Clubs}. Riesenberg checked and Cunningham bet 8,000. Nguyen thought for a moment and called the bet, and Riesenberg folded. The river was the {9-Spades}, putting four to a straight and three to a flush on the board. Cunningham thought for a moment, then decided to make another bet of 8,000. Nguyen, who appeared frustrated, finally called the bet with {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} and lost the pot to Cunningham's {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. With this pot Cunningham is now up to 80,000 in chips and players are on a 15-minute break.

Than Nguyen Doubles Up

With eight players at the table, Than Nguyen opened the pot with a raise to 8,000 from late position. Adam Geyer, who had Nguyen covered, called from his left in the cutoff. The remaining players folded and the flop came {Q-Clubs}{4-Spades}{8-Clubs}. Nguyen acted first by betting 11,500. Geyer thought for almost a minute then quietly said, "All in." Nguyen immediately called and turned over his pocket fours showing bottom set. Geyer turned over {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} and was drawing to runner-runner.

The turn and river were the {A-Hearts} and {J-Diamonds}, missing Geyer, and the dealer counted out Nguyen's remaining chips to match Geyer's stack. The new chip count shows Than Nguyen at 157,000 and Adam Geyer at 89,000.
