Jared Rosenbaum Eliminated in 9th Place ($48,614)

Jared Rosenbaum - 9th Place
Jared Rosenbaum - 9th Place

Jared Rosenbaum was in middle position when he open shoved his short stack. On his direct left, Neil Channing made the call and with a flurry of cards going into the muck from around the table, Rosenbaum was at risk.

Channing's {q-Hearts}{q-Spades} was well in front of the {a-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} that Rosenbaum held and was even more in front when the {2-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} flop hit the felt. Rosenbaum begged for the five of diamonds here, but the {2-Clubs} on the turn would give Channing the full house and leave Rosenbaum drawing dead.

The meaningless {k-Spades} on the river changed nothing and Rosenbaum was eliminated in 9th place.

Mackey's Unique Fan

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Every time James Mackey wins a pot he has one railbird in the stands that stands up and yells "Oh, yeah" with a creepy gyrating motion.

It's less of a yell and more of a moan.

The tournament floorman commented, "Oh great, that guy is back."

Apparently the same fan was present at a recent final table that Blair Hinkle was at and did the same thing every time Hinkle won a pot.
