Manny Gugliuzza Eliminated in 10th Place ($17,760)

Level 33 : 150,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Emanuele "Manny" Gugliuzza
Emanuele "Manny" Gugliuzza

Emanuele "Manny" Gugliuzza watched his stack dwindle all day and finally put the last of it in with {k-}{10-}, getting action from big stack Kirkwood Saccardo, who had {a-}{7-}.

An ace on the flop, of course, sent the pot to Saccardo and his big stack continued to get bigger. Gugliuzza hit the rail in 10th place, earning $17,760.

The final nine players are redrawing for the final table, then taking a break with about a half-hour remaining in the current level.

Steven Phillips Eliminated in 11th Place ($17,760)

Level 33 : 150,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Steven Phillips
Steven Phillips

Steven Phillips jammed with pocket deuces, only to run into the pocket jacks of Constantinos Psallidas.

To add insult to injury, the flop fell {j-}{8-}{8-} giving Psallidas a full house. When the case deuce failed to appear, Phillips was gone in 11th place ($17,760).

Ten players remain and according to a rule change made this series, the final table redraw will not take place until they reach the final nine players. For now, they're playing with two five-handed tables.

The 2019 Borgata Summer Poker Open Championship winner Jackob Datashvili was eliminated in 15th place when his pocket kings fell to {a-Spades}{q-Spades}. An ace on the flop was all it took to send his chips across the felt to Kirkwood Saccardo, who is crushing his table.

He'll collect $13,177 for his 15th place finish.

Leslie Out in 28th Place, Just Missing Pay Bump

Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Vivian Leslie
Vivian Leslie

Vivian Leslie was a short stack at the start of play and one of only two players with fewer than 1 million chips.

She held on as long as she could, but finally got her last chips (~2 big blinds) in holding {j-}{9-}. Soheb Porbandarwala looked her up with {4-Spades}{3-Spades} and caught a three on the board to take the pot.

Leslie will collect $6,302 for 28th place, just missing the pay jump. The next player eliminated will collect $8,135.

Her departure also means that Alida Veliu is the last woman sitting in this event.
