Philip Burroughs had raised from under the gun and Ryan Dougherty had three-bet to 10,500 from the middle position. Action folded back to Burroughs who shoved for around 36,000 and Dougherty snap-called.

Philip Burroughs: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Ryan Dougherty: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

The flop came {9-Spades}{k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for Burroughs to have some hope as he picked up a gutshot to a straight but the rest of the board was completed with the {2-Diamonds} on the turn and the {9-Hearts} on the river to send Burroughs to the rail.

Carroll Taken Out by Zgorski

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
James Carroll
James Carroll

Mike Zgorski raised to 7,000 from under the gun and James Carroll called for less in the small blind.

James Carroll: {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Mike Zgorski: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

The flop came {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{j-Spades} for Carroll to hit a pair of nines and pick up an open-ended straight draw.

The turn was the {j-Hearts} for both of them to improve to two pair. Only a seven, nine, or queen could help Carroll but the river completed the board with the {10-Clubs} instead to send Carroll to the rail.

Shortly after, Jack Eichenberger was also eliminated.
