Dustin Woolf Eliminated in 23rd Place ($21,665)

Dustin "Neverwin" Woolf, 23rd place
Dustin "Neverwin" Woolf, 23rd place

Clement Thurmy raised from under the gun, and another reraise from Dustin Woolf resulted in the rest of his chips getting into the pot preflop. It was Woolf at risk with ace-jack, and it was a race for double or nothing against Thurmy's pocket fours.

There was a third four on the flop for Thumy, and that was bad news for Woolf. Unable to win a coin flip today, "Neverwin" is out in 23rd place.

Patrick Walsh Eliminated in 22nd Place ($21,665)

Sam Stein raised to 27,000 to open the pot, and he called an all-in reraise for about 62,000 total from Patrick Walsh.

Stein: {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades}
Walsh: {7-Spades} {7-Hearts}

The flop was a clean {9-Clubs} {5-Spades} {2-Diamonds} for Walsh, as table mate Amnon Filippi mumbled something about this tournament turning into a coin flip war. The turn {A-Hearts}, however, was a disaster for Walsh, and the river {J-Clubs} ushered him out the door in 22rd place.

Calderaro Can't Call

James Calderaro opened for 30,000 and Noah Boeken re-potted to 108,000 from the button, leaving himself only 21,000 behind.

"If I show him my cards, is my hand dead?" wondered Calderaro aloud as he contemplated his decision. "It's probably dead anyway," he laughed.

A nearby floor supervisor told him that his hand wouldn't be dead, but he would incur a penalty.

"In this game, that's actually not so bad," offered Allen Kessler.

Calderaro folded, telling the table he had {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. Boeken showed ace-queen and raked in the pot.

Noah Boeken led off the action with a raise to 27,000 from UTG. Amnon Filippi flat-called from the cutoff and Matt Marafioti reraised to 86,000 from the small blind. Boeken got out of the way, and Filippi slid out two towers of pink chips totaling 200,000, setting Marafioti all-in. He snap-called.

Marafioti {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}
Filippi {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

Marafioti's aces held up on the {K-Spades}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} boar and he doubled to 440,000. Filippi was left with 325,000.

Noah Boeken Eliminated in 21st Place ($21,665)

Noah Boeken, 21st place
Noah Boeken, 21st place

Under the gun, Noah Boeken made a minimum raise to 24,000. Peter Jetten reraised to 70,000 from the small blind, and Boeken couldn't decide what to do. After several minutes of tossing it back and forth, he moved all in for 126,000 total, and Jetten quickly called.

Boeken: {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}
Jetten: {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts}

Boeken let out a big sigh of disgust as he stood from his chair, and the dealer would do nothing to improve his plight. The board ran out {J-Spades} {4-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {2-Spades}, and Boeken has been eliminated.

Don't Let Her Leave

Marc Inizan mini-raised to 36,000 and Sandra Najuoks raised all in for 120,000 total. Inizan didn't like it, but he shook his head and slid in the calling chips to put Naujoks at risk.

Showdown
Inizan: {K-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}
Naujoks: {A-Hearts} {K-Spades}

Things were just fine for Naujoks on a board of {2-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {3-Spades} {A-Diamonds}, and she's found a double up to 264,000. We'd like to thank Mr. Inizan for letting her stick around for a while, though he certainly would have preferred to get rid of the crafty German pro.

Thomas Pettersson Eliminated in 20th Place ($21,665)

Thomas Pettersson, 20th place

Konstantin Bucherl opened for a raise and Thomas Pettersson tanked for so long we were sure someone would call the clock. After several minutes, he slid in a reraise to 113,000 and Bucherl called.

The flop was {J-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and Pettersson's remaining 31,000 went into the pot. Bucherl called.

Pettersson {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Bucherl {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}

The turn was the {4-Hearts}, the river was the {9-Spades} and Pettersson hit the rail in 20th place while Bucherl increased his stack to 390,000.
