Philip Neiman Eliminated in 10th Place ($1,606)

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Philip Neiman
Philip Neiman

Jim Dike opened from under the gun and Philip Neiman moved all in from the cutoff. Harold Hyatt then called off for his remaining chips on the button before Jacob Mitich re-jammed out of the small blind. Dike quickly folded.

Harold Hyatt: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Philip Neiman: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Jacob Mitich: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}

Mitich had woken up with pocket rockets at a very opportune moment. The {j-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs} runout brought no help to either of the at risk players to send them to the payout desk in 11th and 10th place. Elsewhere, start of day chipleader Lara Eisenberg was eliminated just short of the final table as was Scott Panozo.

Jon Bowman Eliminated in 15th Place ($1,377)

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Jon Bowman
Jon Bowman

Belram Rais moved all in from early position before Jon Bowman called off with the shorter stack from middle position. The remaining players got out of the way to put Bowman officially at risk.

Jon Bowman: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Belram Rais: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}

Bowman, though at risk, did have Rais dominated and remained ahead on the {10-Hearts}{a-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop and {8-Clubs} turn. The {q-Hearts} river, however, improved Rais to broadway to send Bowman out of the tournament in 15th place. Elsewhere, Benny H, Steve Nooraliah, Roger Laing and David Shober were all eliminated.

Benjamin Polcer Eliminated in 20th Place ($918)

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Benjamin Polcer
Benjamin Polcer

Benjamin Polcer moved all in on the button and was called by Jim Dike in the small blind.

Benjamin Polcer: {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Jim Dike: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

Dike had Polcer in rough shape with the at risk player needing to come from behind to win. No help came on the {10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts} runout to send Polcer to the payout cage in 20th place. Elsewhere, Mohammed Anwary, Dave Helpard and Carlos Avalos were seen exiting the tournament area.
