Richard Anthony - 14th PlaceRichard Anthony Eliminated in 14th Place ($28,272)
The bad news is that Richard Anthony was just eliminated from the event in 14th place. The good news is that he made another tier in the prizepool for a few more thousand bucks in his pocket.
Anthony couldn't beat Yan Chen's two pair, queens and deuces, and was eliminated from the tournament. He'll take home over $28,000 for his finish. -

Crazy Roller Coaster for Berman; Rivera Back Up
Anthony Rivera scooped a big three-way pot with three queens. Lyle Berman and Doyle Brunson both whiffed on their low and flush draws. Berman was dropped all the way down to 9,000. The hand put Rivera up to 430,000.
A few hands later, Berman doubled up to 60,000 and then a few hands after that was all in once more. He made a full house this time around and is now up to 190,000, meaning he's gone from 9,000 to 190,000 in just a matter of minutes. -
