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.

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Jordan Spurlin - 5th Place
Jordan Spurlin - 5th Place

David Larson moved all in for 625,000 from the button and Jordan Spurlin called off for 380,000 from the big blind.

Larson: {q-Spades}{2-Spades}
Spurlin: {a-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}

Spurlin was ahead and looked good through both the {6-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop and {10-Diamonds} turn. However, disaster struck when the {9-Spades} spiked on the river to give Larson a winning straight.

Stefan Helber Eliminated in 4th Place ($2,310)

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 25,000 ante
Stefan Helber - 4th Place
Stefan Helber - 4th Place

Stefan Helber moved all in for his last 95,000 from the small blind, and while he didn't seem excited about it, David Larson called out of the big blind.

Helber: {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Larson: {10-Spades}{5-Hearts}

Helber was ahead and held on the {4-Spades}{k-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop. Unfortunately for him, the dealer burned and turned the {5-Spades} to pair Larson. The {k-Clubs} river was no help to Helber and he hit the rail in fourth place.

As the last player sporting Run It Up gear, Helber was the "last warrior standing," which means he will be entered into a special drawing later on during the RIU Reno VIII.
