James Calderaro Eliminated in 16th Place ($41,160)

Carter Phillips raised to 10,500 from middle position before James Calderaro reraised to 25,500. Calderaro was in the cutoff seat while Sandra Naujoks was on the button. Naujoks then moved all in for about 150,000. Phillips then reraised all in and Calderaro called.

Phillips: {A-Spades} {K-Spades}
Calderaro: {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}
Naujoks: {9-Spades} {9-Hearts}

The flop was a banger for Naujoks, coming {J-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {9-Clubs}. Her nines took the lead with a full house, leaving Calderaro's kings drawing slim and Phillips' chances mute.

The turn card was the {4-Spades} and the river card the {7-Spades}. Naujoks' boat was the best hand from flop til finish and she won the pot, just about tripling up in the process.

Calderaro had the least amount of chips and was eliminated while Naujoks shot up to 465,000. Phillips dropped to 145,000.

"Ace please," said Reinkemeier.

The board ran out {K-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {4-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} and Reinkemeier got the ace he asked for, but not until after Molson made two pair.
