Ben Johnson Eliminated in 19th Place ($6,367)

Ben Johnson - 19th Place
Ben Johnson - 19th Place
Craig Sabel bet aggressively the whole way on a board of {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{K-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. Ben Johnson called and found himself all in on the turn while a third player called until the river where he eventually found a fold.

Sabel flipped over {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} for a turned full house, which was too good for Johnson who mucked his cards, stood, and headed to the cashier booth to collect his $6,367 in prize money for a 19th-place finish.

Harold Heckethorn Eliminated in 17th Place ($8,300)

Thang Luu opened the action with a raise from middle position which was reraised by Heckethorn. It was folded back to Luu who made the call.

They took a flop of {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and Luu checked to Heckethorn who made the continuation bet. Luu made the call.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and this time Luu fired out a bet which was enough to commit Heckethorn for all of his chips. He made the call as the river landed the {2-Clubs}.

Luu showed {A-Clubs}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for two pair and a low hand which was too strong for Heckethorn who simply mucked his cards and headed to the rail in 17th place.
