Stephen Benkovic Eliminated in 11th Place ($5,919)

Level 33 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Stephen Benkovic
Stephen Benkovic

In a battle of the blinds, Joey Couden (sb) and Stephen Benkovic (bb) tangled with trash.

Couden's {9-Clubs}{6-Hearts} out-flopped Benkovic's {10-Spades}{7-Spades} when the dealer spread {q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts}.

Benkovic got no help as the board bricked out and he was eliminated in 11th place ($5,919).

That spurred the final ten player to redraw and move to the final table.

Bryan Neira got all-in holding ace-queen against the pocket Jacks of Adam Phillips. The jacks held and Phillips is up to more than 19 million.

Neira busted out in 18th place.

Over on Table 2, Jason Pardy got his chips in with ace-four against pocket sixes. The sixes held and Pardy was felted in 17th place.

Back to Table 1, Gary Brown and Adam Pepper got it all-in pre-flop. Brown's {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} was dominated by Pepper's {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}, but Pepper was the one at risk.

The board fell {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{4-Spades} and Brown paired his kicked to take the pot. Pepper hit the rail in 16th place.

All three of these players will collect $2,681.

The Almighty stack has resumed play here in the Poker Room with 18 returning players.

They'll finish up the few minutes remaining in Level 31, then move up. Levels are still 45 minutes long until they reach the final table.

On one of the first couple of hands, Michael Nitti got a walk in his big blind and showed pocket acecs to the table. "What a waste."
