Borrero Building, Rosengarten Railed

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Brian Rosengarten - 15th place
Brian Rosengarten - 15th place

After being busted on the direct bubble in Event 12 last night, Brian Rosengarten was determined to make the money here tonight.

He reached his goal and then some, but ultimately Rosengarten was eliminated in 15th place.

Rosengarten's last hand came when he flopped the nut flush draw with {a-Spades}{8-Spades} in the hole. Miguel Borrero put him at risk with {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and the board bricked off on the turn ({j-Hearts}) and river ({3-Hearts}).

Leon Motola - 14th Place

Leon Motola was heard calling for a six to hit the board, and while we missed the action ourselves, Jinwei Wang informed us that his {A-}{q-} had held up over Motola's {A-}{6-}.

Motola finished in 14th place here tonight, while Wang chipped up to more than the average stack.

Thompson

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Christopher Thompson - 13th Place
Christopher Thompson - 13th Place

Christopher Thompson went broke after getting the last of a short stack in before the flop holding {k-Spades}{2-Spades}.

Andrew Zhu's {a-}{7-} held up for the ace-high win even after Thompson flopped a four-flush to nine outs to his arsenal.

Zhu has topped the million-chip plateau with the average stack sitting at a little over 700,000.

Chin Check

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 4,000 ante
Matt Chin - 11th Place
Matt Chin - 11th Place

After seeing the flop fall {6-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{a-Clubs} Andrew Zhu tapped the table and Matt Chin checked behind. The turn came {9-Hearts} and Zhu fired out for 100,000, before calling Chin's raise to 350,000.

The river card was the {5-Hearts} and Zhu bet 400,000 into Chin, who held only 420,000 behind.

Chin counted out the bet and sized Zhu up from across the table, before finally announcing "I think you missed the flush draw" and making the call.

"I have an ace," responded Zhu, telling him Chin the bad news with authority in his voice. Indeed, Zhu's {a-Spades}{7-Spades} was the winner when Chin's bluff-catcher turned out to be an outkicked {a-Hearts}{2-Spades}.

The 10 players still left with chips have reconvened at the final table, and a full table draw will be forthcoming shortly.

Bob Gilbert Eliminated in 10th Place ($793)

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 4,000 ante
Bob Gilbert - 10th Place
Bob Gilbert - 10th Place

Bob Gilbert began the final table as the short stack, and soon enough his last eight big blinds went into the middle on a preflop shove.

Ivan Polanco quickly made the call after the table folded around to him, and his {A-Clubs}{k-Spades} had Gilbert's {A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} dominated.

The final board ran out {q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Gilbert could not find a five, leaving him to offer his former opponents a "good game" before heading over to the payout desk to collect next month's rent money.
