Grant Hillman Eliminated in 8th Place ($9,929)
![[user66118]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
A limped pot saw half the table take a flop of 
. Michael Traylor was the first one to take a stab at the pot post-flop, sliding out a bet of 125,000. Two seats over, Grant Hillman announced an all in reraise, committing nearly 600,000 chips to the pot. When it came back around to Traylor, he considered for a minute before sighing and saying, "I have to call." With Hillman's tournament life hanging in the balance, the cards were turned up:
Traylor: 
(top two pair)
Hillman: 
(combo draw)
Hillman was looking for any nine or any diamond to stay alive, but the 
turn was about as blank as it gets. The river 
was the right color but the wrong suit, and Hillman can not get over the hump. He looked pretty disappointed about that miss as he stood from his chair and wished the table luck. Ninth place is good for nearly $10,000, but that's only a small consolation for now.
Jetter Picking Up Chips
Donna Jetter was all in from the big blind for 130,000 after Michael Traylor had raised preflop. Traylor made the call with the 
and Jetter made a stand with the 
.
The board ran out 
and Jetter doubled back to 300,000 even.
On the next hand, Stan Quinn opened with a raise from the cutoff seat to 62,000. Jetter moved all in for 294,000 and Quinn folded. That gives Jetter 408,000 in chips now.
Changes For Harrah's and Two New WSOP-C Stops
A press release today confirms that Harrah's Entertainment has undergone a name change. Official as of today, the gaming superpower will now be known as Caesars Entertainment.
In addition, the remainder of the WSOP-C schedule has been refined and made official. We've known for a while that the Circuit would need to add two more stops to the calendar, and today that information was made public.
The Palm Beach Kennel Club in Florida seems like a natural addition to the schedule. The tournament series will run from February 17th to March 1st, a perfect time for snowbirds to escape the last clutches of winter and head south for some poker. With a third of the November Nine hailing from the Sunshine State, the 60-table Kennel Club is primed for major tournament poker.
From April 28th to May 9th, the Circuit is moving to Chester, Pennsylvania, just south of Philadelphia. The Casino and Racetrack has a 25-table WSOP branded poker room and a convention center with room for another 50 tables. The Main Event will have a $400,000 guarantee, and it will correspond with the "First Saturday in May", the largest simulcast wagering day of the year.
The Chester stop will also be part of a "$1 Million Tri-State Swing" that encompasses the Atlantic City Main Events in December and March.
Caseri Doubles Again
After Michael Traylor completed in the small blind, Drew Caseri moved all in fro 202,000. Traylor made the call, flipping up the

and Caseri doubled up to 432,000. Traylor continues to double others up at the final table.
