Small Chink in the Armour

Three players checked an {8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} flop only for Blair Rodman to bet 12,000 on a {K-Hearts} turn. Peter Costa raised to 30,000 and Denton Pfister called. After Rodman had ducked out of the way, the dealer lay an {8-Spades} river onto the felt. Both players checked allowing Frister to take the pot with {Q-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{5-Spades}.

Pfister - 293,000
Costa - 340,000

Young Phan is Eliminated in 21st Place ($8,064)

Young Phan
Young Phan

After a series of raises preflop, Christian "charder30" Harder and Young Phan were heads up when the flop fell {8-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}.

Phan led for the pot, Harder re-potted and before you knew it both players were all in.

Showdown
Harder: {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Phan: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs}

Phan led with a set of threes, but Harder held a super, mega wrap.

"Pair the board!" Phan pleaded. "Pair the board!"

The {5-Diamonds} on the turn made one of Charder's many straight possibilities and the board didn't pair on the river. Rather the {9-Hearts} bricked and Phan was eliminated in 21st place.

Harder's heater now has him sitting with 465,000 chips.

Jeffrey Coddington Eliminated in 19th Place ($8,064)

Jeffrey Coddington was all in for his tournament life against Ashkan Razavi before the flop and the hands were tabled:

Showdown
Coddington: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Razavi: {J-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades}

The {6-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} flop was clean and Coddington's kings remained ahead.

"No funny stuff," Coddington said to the dealer.

Jinx much?

The turn and river were both jacks ({J-Hearts} then {J-Clubs}) giving Razavi trips and eliminating Coddington from the tournament.

Razavi now has 376,500 chips while Coddington will have to settle with $8,064.

Chris Viox Eliminated in 17th Place ($9,856)

We unfortunately couldn't record the board or hands before the dealer washed the cards, but we were told that Chris Viox was eliminated by a player who held aces preflop.

That's the second hand in a row at Table 372 that a player has been eliminated by an opponent holding aces.

Viox will have to settle with 17th and $9,856.

Nick Binger Eliminated in 16th Place ($9,856)

Nick Binger
Nick Binger

Nick Binger, who is pretty good at remaining incognito, couldn't escape our preying eyes on departure, and despite a plucky performance that would make Rocky look like a quitter, he busted in 16th place.

Blair Rodman was the man responsible, the former bracelet winner putting Binger all in preflop with {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. Binger held {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, but was unable to improve on a {9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{7-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Hearts} board.

That was the third hand in a row that a player had busted from that table, and each time the sniper had a couple of bullets in his gun.
