Joe Kushner - 9th Place

From early position, Andy Seth raised to 45,000. Joe Kushner called from the next seat and Andrew Brown called on the button. In the big blind, Benjamin Sage made the call to close the action and the flop came down {A-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}.

On the flop, Sage checked and Seth bet 90,000. Kushner raised all in. Brown and Sage folded before Seth quickly made the call.

Seth tabled the {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts} for top set of aces. Kushner held middle set with the {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}.

The turn {9-Spades} left Kushner needing the case five on the river, but when the {Q-Diamonds} fell, he was all out of luck. He hit the rail in ninth place and took home $55,525.

Jason Mericer was short and all in preflop with the {A-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} against the {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} for Micah Smith.

The flop of {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds} gave Mercier the lead with two pair. The turn was the {9-Clubs} and then the river counterfeited Mercier when the {9-Spades} hit. Smith's king and nines won the pot and sent the two-time gold bracelet winner to the rail in eighth place for $72,132.
