Michael Graydon Eliminated in 12th Place (38,037)

Michael Graydon - 12th place
Michael Graydon - 12th place

We don't know exactly how the action went, but we do know Michael Graydon managed to get all in and at risk by the likes of Steven Goldberg.

Goldberg: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Graydon: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

The board came out {j-Hearts}{a-Spades}{6-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} giving Goldberg a rivered straight and the best hand. Graydon was near the top of the chip leaders, but a small fall from grace caused him to move into the middle of the pack. Once there Graydon managed to get it all in with his eights, and leave as our 12th place finisher.

Gianluca Mattia Eliminated in 10th Place ($38,037)

Gianluca Mattia- Final Table Bubble Boy
Gianluca Mattia- Final Table Bubble Boy

Action folded all the way around to Gianluca Mattia in the small blind, and he limped in. Eliyahu Levy was in the big blind, and he quickly tossed out a raise of 50,000 more. It was back to Mattia, and after about 30 seconds of thought, he moved all in. Levy SNAP called, and he saw that he was in great shape.

Levy: {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Mattia: {a-Hearts}{6-Spades}

The flop looked scary for Levy, but it was safe, coming {a-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts}. The {4-Spades} on the turn kept Levy out front, and the river came the {4-Clubs}. Mattia was sent to the rail, and in a flash, we have reached out final table.
