Yan Li Eliminated in 13th Place ($10,554)

MarcC

Yan Li found himself all in preflop with two callers in the shape of Marc Naalden and Alex Keating. They both checked it all the way down to give a {Q-Hearts}

board until Naalden bet on the river; Keating folded.

Li tabled {A-Diamonds}

but Naalden opened {10-Diamonds}

for broadway, the pot and a 550,000. Li is our latest casualty.

and was surprised to be ahead as Baker opened {J-Spades}

.

The turn {7-Hearts}

and river

came to eliminate Baker and edge us nearer to a final table.

Tony Pirone Is Gone-y

[user46392]

Short-stacked Tony Pirone and Ron Burke saw a {6-Hearts}

flop, and Pirone got all but 2,000 or so of his chips in. Come the {A-Diamonds}

turn Burke seemed to forget what he was doing for a moment and someone pointed out to him that maybe he should bet to put Pirone all in. "Don't tell him what to do!" said Pirone, but obviously there was no question that his chips were going in.

Pirone: {7-Hearts}

Burke:

River:

Out he goes.

Baker in the Fire

[user46392]

David Baker is down to just 20,000 after a blind-on-blind confrontation with Jared O'Dell.

Baker bet every street of the {2-Clubs}

board, but just mucked sadly when O'Dell turned over {A-Clubs}

.

O'Dell picked up some much-needed chips and is up to 100,000.

War on the Felt This Time

MarcC

Phil Hellmuth's war of words with Alex Keating has just spilled over in to a battle of the cards with one of them eliminated in the process.

Hellmuth raised from UTG and Keating three-bet from late position before the call was made to see a {8-Hearts}

flop. Hellmuth bet, was raised before he reraised back and was called. The {K-Spades}

turn saw the rest of the chips go in and both players turn over monsters:

Hellmuth -- {10-Clubs}

for a set.
Keating -- {A-Hearts}

for top pair and nut flush draw.

It all came down to the river..... {6-Hearts}

!!!

Boom for Keating as he takes the lot and eliminates his foe in the mean time and collects a 300,000 stack as well.
