Wardak Eliminated by Kim

Saidal Wardak eliminated
Saidal Wardak eliminated
Saidal Wardak, winner of the Bounty Feature event earlier in the week, was down to his last 17,000 and found them in the middle preflop against Kelly Kim.

Wardak: {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Kim: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

The board ran out {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}, missing Wardak, and Kim's pair of tens held up. Kim is up to 90,000 sending Wardak to the exit.

Demetriou Cracks Aces

We're not sure where the money went in, but it was definitely all in the middle for Andrew Demetriou and one opponent. Demetriou showed {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}; his opponent showed {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades}; and the board showed lots of hearts -- {Q-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {3-Hearts}. As a result Demetriou is up to 62,000.

Out of Laak

Phil Laak has been eliminated from the tournament in fairly sick circumstances. Laak got all of his chips in good, holding {j-Hearts}{9-Clubs} on a {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop against his opponent's {A-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. However the turn {7-Clubs} made the opponent trips, and Laak wasn't able to pull out a redraw with the {5-Spades} river.

McIver Spikes a Jack

Dean McIver must have borrowed Eric Assadourian's lucky charm. He raised to 7,500 from the button after Neil Channing opened for 2,500. Channing put in a third raise to 15,000 that McIver called.

Both players checked the {2-?} {K-?} {5-?} flop. When the turn fell another deuce, Channing led out for 10,000. McIver tanked for a while before deciding to move his last 30,000 into the middle. Channing snap-called with pocket aces. McIver was dead to a two-outer when he turned over pocket jacks. No problem, though -- a jack spiked on the river to give him a full house. He's up to 90,000, while Channing's misfortune has dropped his stack to 30,000.

Vos' Luck Runs Out

Mark Vos was unable to climb out of his short-stacked hole. He moved in for {6-Spades} {5-Hearts} and was called by a player with {8-Diamonds} {8-Hearts}. Vos made trip sixes, but his opponent filled up on a {2-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {6-Clubs} board. He's out.

No English On It

Tim English eliminated
Tim English eliminated
An extremely short-stacked Timothy English has been eliminated from the Main Event.

English moved all in with {K-Clubs}{j-Clubs} and was called by David Kruger holding {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}. The board was no help to English and he hits the rail.
