Jason Fitzpatrick Eliminated in 9th Place ($4,800)

Mike Patrick

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 10,000 ante

After Thai Ha opened in early position with 10♠9♠8♥8♦, Jason Daly flatted with A♥A♦9♦6♠ in the cutoff.

Jason Fitzpatrick found K♠K♦9♥2♣ on the button and three-bet to 250,000.

Ha folded and Daly jammed. Fitzpatrick called off for 590,000 total and would have to come out on the right end of this cooler.

Unfortunately for him though, the board came 6♦6♥2♠3♦Q♦ bringing Fitzpatrick's kings no help as he became the first elimination of the final table.

Liam McDonough Eliminated in 10th Place ($4,160)

Mike Patrick

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 10,000 ante

Just over 100,000 was already in the middle on a flop of A♣8♦4♠ when George Abi-Zeid in the small blind and Liam McDonough in the big blind exchanged bets and raises until McDonough's last 305,000 was committed and at risk.

Liam McDonough: A♦10♠9♦3♣
George Abi-Zeid: A♥Q♠7♦6♠

The 8♠ on the turn paired the board, and the J♠ on the river improved Abi-Zeid to a flush to take the pot and send the final nine players to the livestreamed final table.

Thomas Shipp Eliminated in 11th Place ($4,160)

Mike Patrick

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 10,000 ante

With a sizeable portion of his stack in the middle from the big blind, Thomas Shipp moved in his last 180,000 on the 10♠8♠7♣ flop and got called by Sung Keem under the gun to put him at risk.

Thomas Shipp: A♣A♥6♠2♦
Sung Keem: K♦Q♠9♦7♠

Keem had straight and flush draws versus Shipp's aces, and the J♠ turn gave Keem his flush draw, leaving Shipp drawing dead before the 5♦ river completed the board.

After Carson Wieland opened to 40,000 under the gun, Thomas Shipp moved in for his last 120,000. Wieland called to put Shipp at risk.

Thomas Shipp: A♦10♥8♥3♦
Carson Wieland: A♥J♥10♣7♠

The flop settled things quickly, coming 3♣3♥3♠ bringing quad threes instantly to Shipp to double up and stay alive with the final table still two eliminations away.

Wieland Puts Keem in the Blender

Mike Patrick

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 10,000 ante

Sung Keem limped under the gun and then called a raise to 80,000 from Carson Wieland on the button.

The players checked to the river on the A♠J♣9♣9♦8♥ board before Keem bet 125,000.

Wieland then potted it to 575 which would commit Keem if he were to do anything but fold.

After a couple of minutes, he did just that, sending the pot to Wieland who tossed open A♣K♦Q♥2♠ for aces up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Carson Wieland	910,000 230,000	230,000
Sung Keem	460,000 -240,000	-240,000
