Matt Stout Eliminated in 13th Place ($1,900)

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Matt Stout
Matt Stout

Valerie Hanley raised to 20,000 from the button, then called a three-bet to 56,000 from Matt Stout in the small blind.

Stout bet 52,000 on the {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} flop, and Hanley jammed for 333,000. Stout snap-called.

Valerie Hanley: {q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Matt Stout: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

"C'mon, open-ender!" Hanley said.

Hanley clapped after the {k-Clubs} turn completed her straight, and Stout couldn't get the board to pair on the {6-Diamonds} river, leaving Stout with just 26,000. He lost those chips a few hands later to Hanley.

Hanley Over a Million

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Ryan Meyer raised to 18,000 from middle position, and Valerie Hanley called in the cutoff.

Meyer bet 16,000 on the {7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop, and Hanley called.

The {3-Clubs} fell on the turn, and Meyer bet 35,000. Hanley called again.

Meyer bet 75,000 on the {a-Spades} river, and Hanley called.

"You're good," Meyer said, and Hanley tabled {a-Clubs}{6-Hearts} for a pair of aces and the winner.

Timothy Guilford Eliminated in 12th Place ($2,400)

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Timothy Guilford

Adam Johnson raised to 20,000 from the hijack, Timothy Guilford three-bet all in for 65,000 from the cutoff, and Johnson called.

Timothy Guilford: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Adam Johnson: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}

Board: {2-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades}

It was unfortunate timing for Guilford, who suffered the wrong end of a cooler at the worst of times. No miracles came on the runout, and Guilford is out in 12th place.

"Ace-high," Johnson said, and Beesley tabled {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for the winner.

Valerie Hanley opened to 35,000 from the cutoff, Phil Beesley called on the button, and Andrew Neeme put in the squeeze, three-betting to 115,000 in the small blind.

Hanley called, and Beasley folded.

The flop came {4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, and Neeme went all in, for about 180,000. Hanley snap called.

Andrew Neeme: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Valerie Hanley: {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}

Neeme's pocket aces ran into Hanley's set, and the turn {2-Hearts} and river {4-Clubs} ended the tournament run for the Run It Up ambassador.

Matthew Moreno Eliminated in 10th Place ($3,000)

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Matthew Moreno
Matthew Moreno

At the feature table, "Young" Matthew Moreno was all in before the flop from the button for 89,000, Patrick Preston was all in for the exact same stack from the small blind, and Max Young called to put both players at risk in the big blind.

Matthew Moreno: {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs}
Patrick Preston: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Max Young: {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

Preston's queens held on the {8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop, but Young could now catch up with an eight. The {10-Clubs} turn gave Moreno a flush draw, but the {7-Diamonds} river sent the final bounty of the night over to Preston.

Players are now bagging and tagging for the evening. Stay tuned for full chip counts, as well as a full recap of the day's action.
