Earlier we saw several bustouts right in a row. Since that point, play has slowed down quite a bit. With only 21 players left, thoughts are beginning to shift to making the final table. As a result, some players are playing tighter than they have up to this point and some of the shorter stacks are planning their time to strike to try and build some chips.

James Mackey Eliminated in 25th Place ($6,284)

[user67765]

Stud-8:

James Mackey was crippled in a hand against JJ Hazan. Mackey was showing 3-4-5-4 and Hazan had 9-9-8-7 and the betting was capped on the river as Mackey showed (2-4-2) 3-4-5-4 for a full house but was bettered by the (9-8-X) 9-9-8-7 of Hazan.

This left Mackey with only about 30,000 in chips.

Hold'em:

A few hands later Mackey committed the last of his chips with {A-Spades}
