John Foley Eliminated in 17th Place ($100); Al Mercier Eliminated in 16th Place ($100)
A double elimination on the bubble means that two players will split the $200 slated for the 16th spot.
At the feature table, Slade Edmonds moved all in from middle position and John Foley called off from the cutoff. The rest of the players folded and the hands were turned up.
John Foley: A♥Q♣
Slade Edmonds: A♠6♠
Foley had the better ace but the 9♣7♥6♣ flop paired Edmonds. Neither the K♣ turn nor 10♠ river changed a thing and Foley was eliminated.
At the other table, Al Mercier moved his short stack all in on the button and found a quick call from Linda Rodrigues in the small blind.
Al Mercier: Q♣J♦
Linda Rodrigues: A♠A♣
The pocket aces of Rodrigues were never threatened on the 5♥2♦7♣9♦6♦ runout, as Mercier was sent to the rail.
As the shorter stack, Foley officially finishes in 17th place while Mercier will be 16th.
