Glen Passin Eliminated in 10th Place ($3,036)
Level 25
: 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Derek Staib opened from the hijack, Glen Passin called in the cutoff and Thomas Tolbert defended his big blind. The dealer spread out 
on the flop, action checked to Staib who bet 200,000 and Passin quickly moved all in for 510,000.
Tolbert folded, Staib called and Passin tabled 
for top pair. Staib quickly turned over 
for the same pair but a higher kicker and Passin needed to hit to stay alive. A 
turn and 
river did not help Passin as he was eliminated from the tournament in tenth place.
