Kris Bradshaw Eliminated in 11th Place ($9,208)

Level 24 : 7,000/14,000, 2,000 ante

Kris Bradshaw was all in before the flop for his last roughly 160,000. Leonardo Palermo had him covered and called.

Bradshaw: {A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Palermo: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}

The flop brought {8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Bradshaw's ace-high stayed out in the lead. The turn was the {J-Hearts} and it looked as if Bradshaw would double. The river, however, was a nightmare for him as it paired up Palermo with the {K-Diamonds}. Bradshaw was eliminated in 11th place and will collect $9,208 in winnings.

The final ten are now redrawing to the unofficial final table. A seat draw and chips will follow momentarily.

We've seen Beverly Cheney shove all in before the flop twice within this first orbit here at the final table. Both times saw Michael Assante open to 30,000 only to have Cheney three-bet all in. Both times Assante has folded and Cheney has dragged in the pot.

Silberstein Wins Battle of Blinds

Level 24 : 7,000/14,000, 2,000 ante

Ken Silberstein completed from the small blind only to have Rex Clinkscales make it 40,000 to go from the big. Silberstein stuck around and the dealer showed the two a flop of {8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. Silberstein checked on over and Clinkscales fired 50,000.

Silberstein slid out a check-raise to 200,000 and Clinkscales went into the tank. With only 300,000 behind Clinkscales was making a decision to put his tournament life on the line this hand. A moment passed before Clinkscales opted to lay it down and the pot was pushed to Silberstein.

Patrick Friday Eliminated in 10th Place ($9,208)

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Patrick Friday opened with an early position raise to 60,000 and Michael Assante three-bet to 120,000 from two seats over. Action folded all of the way back to Friday and he announced all in for about 300,000 total. Assante snapped him off.

Friday: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Assante: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Assante was crushed and looking for help. Unfortunately for him, the dealer's {6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} did not do the job and he became our official final table bubble boy.

Now that the final table has been reached official chip counts will be on the way.

Palermo Bests Silberstein

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Ken Silberstein opened to 37,000 before the flop and Leonardo Palermo called from the big blind. Both players tapped the table after seeing the {j-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop which prompted the dealer to put the {A-Spades} on the turn. Another check to Silberstein allowed him to bet 51,000. Palermo stuck around and the river brought the {3-Hearts}.

Palermo checked once more and Silberstein bet 70,000. Palermo snapped him off and tabled {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. Silberstein mucked and Palermo took down the pot. He's now sitting on about 680,000 while Silberstein has fallen to around 630,000.
