Ami Barer Eliminated in 12th Place ($86,000)

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Ami Barer
Ami Barer

Ami Barer pushed for his last 465,000 in the first hand after the break over on the outer table and he was called by Scott Wellenbach on the button.

Ami Barer: {A-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Scott Wellenbach: {A-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The {J-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop was a bad one for Barer as the kicker was likely to play. Nothing much changed on the {Q-Clubs} turn, and Wellenbach made a pair of nines with the {9-Diamonds} river for good measure to end Barer's run in 12th place. He takes home $86,000 for his efforts and all remaining 11 players are now guaranteed at least $96,080.

Tommy Nguyen Eliminated in 13th Place ($86,000)

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Tommy Nguyen
Tommy Nguyen

Tommy Nguyen shoved a little over ten big blinds all in from the small blind and Chino Rheem called from the big blind.

Tommy Nguyen: {K-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Chino Rheem: {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

The flop was {K-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Nguyen already put on his jacket. He stood up on the {2-Diamonds} turn and zipped his jacked close after the {10-Spades} river was dealt, ending his deep run in the Main Event in 13th place.

Nguyen came into the penultimate day as the chip leader but after losing a big coinflip against Daniel Strelitz he was relegated to a short stack. The WSOP Monster Stack champion managed to score a pay jump and received $86,000 for his run.

Matthias Eibinger Eliminated in 14th Place ($77,620)

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Matthias Eibinger and Chino Rheem
Matthias Eibinger and Chino Rheem

Matthias Eibinger and Chino Rheem had tangled several times throughout the last two days and the Austrian went from one of the chip leaders to shorter stack after two clashes with Rheem on Day 2. It was no coincidence as such that they would meet again and it sealed the fate of Eibinger.

The action started with a cutoff raise to 80,000 by Eibinger and Rheem called on the button. On a flop of {10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, Eibinger checked and Rheem bet 125,000. Eibinger cut out his remaining stack carefully, which happened to be 1,045,000, and pushed all in. Rheem almost beat him into the pot and the camera crews rushed by to film the showdown.

Matthias Eibinger: {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Chino Rheem: {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Rheem had a ton of outs with his pair and flush draw, but the final blow came in runner-runner fashion as he hit the {8-Diamonds} turn and {9-Diamonds} river for a ten-high straight. Eibinger has been eliminated in 14th place and takes home $77,620.
