Sprague Eliminated Two Players

A gentleman raised to 7,000 utg and Kevin Hanson, down to just 300 after losing a massive hand, called all in from the button. Dane Lomas in the small blind raised all in for a total of 9,400 and Tyler Sprague in the big blind dwelled up for a while before calling. Mr Under The Gun called as well.

Mr Under The Gun and Sprague checked down the {9-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {6-Spades} {4-Spades} {10-Hearts} board until the river, when Mr Under The Gun bet 6,000 and Sprague called.

Sprague: {A-Clubs} {J-Hearts}
Mr Under The Gun: {6-Clubs} {3-Spades}
Kevin Hanson: {6-Clubs} {3-Spades}
Dane Lomas: mucked

Hanson and Lomas are both eliminated, and Sprague is up to around 55,000.

Tupper Scuppered

Also OUT shortly before the break was second-to-last woman standing Katelyn Tupper. From the horse's mouth, she pushed with pocket kings and got called by pocket nines, but the gent with the nines found four flush cards on the board to send her to the rail.

Parker Busts Norris

Brock Parker is up to 120,000 after knocking out Joshua Norris, all in preflop with pocket jacks against Norris' pocket fours. No board miracles and with a brief, "Nice playing with y'all," Norris heads for the door.

Caught Red-handed

A short-stacked Vincent Van Brengel moved all in from the button for 25,000, but found a call in big blinder Mark Graffius, who looked him up with {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. Sadly for Brengel, he could only muster a {7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, and a raggy board later he was gone.

Graffius, however, shoots up to 80,000.
