Don McCormick Eliminated in 6th Place ($1,430)

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Don McCormick - 6th Place
Don McCormick - 6th Place

Don McCormick was all in preflop for 243,000 and flipping for his tournament life against David Larson.

McCormick: {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Larson: {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

McCormick was looking to hold but that proved easier said than done as the {q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop paired Larson. Neither the {2-Spades} turn nor {4-Diamonds} river helped McCormick and he was sent to the payout desk in sixth place.

Cody Courtois Eliminated in 7th Place ($1,180)

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Cody Courtois - 7th Place
Cody Courtois - 7th Place

Chip leader Stefan Helber open-jammed under the gun and action folded to Cody Courtois, who called off for 223K from the small blind.

Helber: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Courtois: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Courtois was looking for an ace or some other form of help, but he was left wanting as the board ran out {3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} to leave him drawing dead on the turn.

Stefan Helber Eliminated in 8th Place ($970)

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Jon Cockey - 8th Place
Jon Cockey - 8th Place

Action folded to Stefan Helber in the small blind and he moved all in. Jon Cockey was in the big and opted to call off for 163,000.

Helber: {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Cockey: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}

The {8-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop didn't do anything for Cockey but the {6-Spades} turn did give him a flush draw. Unfortunately for him, the {2-Clubs} river was a brick and he was sent to the rail.

Steven Nevius Eliminated in 9th Place ($780)

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Steven Nevius - 9th Place
Steven Nevius - 9th Place

Jordan Spurlin raised to 50,000 from the hijack holding the {a-Hearts}{q-Spades} and Steven Nevius called from the cutoff, which left him just 49,000 behind. The rest of the players folded and the flop came down {k-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{6-Spades}.

Spurlin coyly checked and then snap-called when Nevius moved all in.

Neither the {9-Clubs} turn nor {5-Diamonds} river helped Nevius and he was ousted in ninth place for $780. He also won $600 for claiming two $300 pro bounties in earlier action.
