Chase Steely Eliminated in 14th Place ($12,258)

Steeley has been chased out of the tournament, the man in pursuit being the wonderfully named Klinghammer Thibaut. Steely made the first incision, raising it up to 28,000 before being reraised by Klinghammer. Steely pushed all in for 62,000 and Klinghammer made the call.

On their backs and it was Klinghammer who had the goods, {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{K-Spades}{6-Clubs} in dominating shape against the {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{8-Spades} of Steely. The {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{3-Hearts} board was about as decisive as a Rooney strike on Saturday, and Steely was gone.

Timothy Flanders Eliminated in 15th Place ($12,258)

Timothy Flanders returned from break with just 35,000 chips and got them all in the middle preflop against John "Tex" Barch.

Showdown
Flanders: {Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Spades}
Barch: {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}

The {Q-Spades}{7-Clubs}{8-Spades} flop was a good sweat. Barch flopped top pair, but Flanders was double-gutted with a flush draw. The {A-Hearts} on the turn did not help Flanders and neither did the {K-Clubs} on the river however eliminating him in 15th place.

Flanders will have to settle with $12,258 in prize money.

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

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.

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.
