Zeph Irion Eliminated in 21st Place ($5,700)
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Alan Curl raised to 65,000 under the gun, Zeph Irion moved all in for 260,000 on the button, and Curl called.
Zeph Irion: 4♥4♠
Alan Curl: A♥K♠
Irion's fours stayed in the lead through the 9♥8♣9♠7♦ board, but the 8♠ river counterfeited his pair and Curl took the pot with his ace to send Irion to the rail.
At another table, Preston Dean had bet 200,000 from the big blind on a board of 7♥9♠3♦5♠ and Harold Brenden moved all in for 355,000 in the cutoff. Dean tanked for several minutes, and eventually called with A♦3♥.
Brenden, though, showed J♥9♦ for top pair. The river was the J♣ and Brendan doubled up with two pair.
