David Von Schnehen Eliminated in 6th Place ($41,650)

Level 32 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
David Von Schnehen
David Von Schnehen

David Von Schnehen jammed on the button for 2,500,000 and Gary Gelman called in the big blind and the cards were revealed.

David Von Schnehen: {a-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Gary Gelman: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

The flop was bad for Von Schehen as it came {10-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Clubs} and the turn gave him death by quads as the {10-Diamonds} came off to make the {5-Diamonds} river meaningless and bring the table down to five-handed play.

Levi Klump
Levi Klump

Patrick Caulfield raised to 475,000 under the gun with the {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. From the cutoff, Levi Klump had the {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} and three-bet to 1,250,000 and Caulfield just called.

The flop came all hearts {7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, Klump bet 600,000 and Caulfield check-jammed to force Klump to decide for his tournament life which Klump called after a few moments.

Caulfield tabled his top set while Klump would need an ace. The turn was the {4-Spades} and the river the {2-Clubs} to eliminate Klump.

Scott Stewart

Scott Stewart jammed 1,800,000 from middle position with the {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. Gary Gellman called in the small blind with the {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}. Forrest Kollar thought about it some but folded pocket eights in the big blind.

Scott Stewart: {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Gary Gellman: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}

The flop came {3-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, the turn gave Stewart the flush draw as it came the {2-Hearts}. Stewart's rail called for a heart but it was the {6-Diamonds} as he was eliminated and the two players with the most career earnings became the first two to be eliminated.

Steven Sarmiento Eliminated in 9th Place ($20,275)

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Steven Sarmiento
Steven Sarmiento

Steven Sarmiento raised to 400,000 from middle position with the {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}, Patrick Caulfield jammed 2,350,000 from the hijack with the {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades} and Sarmiento called it off.

The stacks were very close as Sarmiento was slightly covered. The flop came safely for the jacks as it came {2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}.

But the turn changed things as the {q-Clubs} paired Caulfield as he pumped his fist. The river came the {5-Diamonds} and the stacks were counted to see that Sarmiento was the first one to go from the final table.
