Mick Bentrup Eliminated in 14th Place ($17,156)

[user67765]

The action folded to Mick Bentrup in the small blind who pushed for his last 75,000. Chris Platt thought for several minutes and did some mental calculations before making the call.

Bentrap: {K-Hearts}

Platt:

Bentrap was in good shape for a double-up but the board landed {9-Diamonds}

and a cruel diamond on the river gave Platt the flush to send Bentrup to the rail in 14th place for $17,156.

Wilson Gets One Back, Off the Felt

[user67765]

"Mad" Marty Wilson raised it up from under the gun and the action folded to Eddie Villareal. He stretched and took several minutes before squeezing his cards.

"How much is the bet dealer?" asked Villareal.

"Sixty thousand," was the reply from the dealer.

"Is that your age?" Villareal asked Wilson.

"No, it's your IQ!" replied Wilson to the chuckles of his entourage on the rail.

Eddie the Entertainer

[user67765]

Eddie Villareal is providing the only notable highlights at the moment, and most of them revolve around his color commentary and not the game itself.

He just finished giving the table a lecture about how the "All In Energy Drink" might cause confusion when a player declares, "All in," as you won't know if he's actually all in or just ordering a drink.

A few moments later an opponent was all in and the action passed to Villareal.

"Is he all in?" asked Villareal

"Yes, and not of the drink variety," replied the dealer with a wry smile.

14-Way Chop?

[user67765]

Eddie Villareal is currently campaigning to chop the prize money 14 ways and just play it out for the bracelet. We're unsure if he is being geniune or just having a laugh -- you can never really tell with this guy!

His proposal has received a mixed response as the discussion and play continues.

Eddie is My Name, No-Limit is My Game!

[user67765]

Eddie Villareal has just doubled up to the mild applause of the few scattered patrons still watching on the rail.

In a battle of the blinds, Villareal moved all in for 155,000 from the small blind and Mike Allis made the call from the big blind.

Villareal: {K-Diamonds}

Allis:

The board ran out {Q-Clubs}

and Villareal snagged a pair to take down the pot as he broke into a random celebratory song and dance!

Villareal is up to 330,000 and Allis slips to 410,000.
