Chris Drake Eliminated in 20th Place ($1,700)

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Chris Drake - 20th place
Chris Drake - 20th place

Chris Drake moved all in first to act and it was folded all the way around to Chadd Johnson in the big blind. He looked at his cards and quickly announced a call while turning over {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}. Drake tabled {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}.

Drake would take the lead on the {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} flop and hit a third ace on the {A-Diamonds} turn. That card, however, did give Johnson a flush draw and that is what he would hit on the {9-Diamonds} river. Drake was eliminated in 20th place for $1,700.

Matt Newcombe Eliminated in 19th Place ($1,700)

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Matt Newcombe - 19th place
Matt Newcombe - 19th place

A short-stacked Matt Newcombe moved all in first to act from the small blind and was quickly called by Patrick Dorothy out of the big blind. Dorothy had {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and was well ahead of Newcombe and his {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}.

The flop came {6-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds} to give Newcombe a gutshot straight draw. He paired his ten on the {10-Spades} turn meaning any ten or a non-spade eight or seven would give him the winner.

"Paint," said Dorothy, not wanting Newcombe to suck out on him.

The river was the {A-Diamonds} and Newcombe was eliminated in 19th place for $1,700.

Lou Barlow Eliminated in 18th Place ($2,078)

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Lou Barlow - 18th place
Lou Barlow - 18th place

Joel Nimmo, who had raised the previous three hands and showed a pair each time, opened for a fourth consecutive time. Lou Barlow moved all in and it was folded back to Nimmo who made the call with yet another pair, this time {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}. He was behind, however, as Barlow held {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}.

That lead would change quickly when the first card out of the dealers hands was the {J-Diamonds}. The rest of the board ran out {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and Barlow was eliminated in 18th place while Nimmo became the first player to top the one million chip mark.

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Steve Eoff - 17th place
Steve Eoff - 17th place

We didn't catch the pre-flop action but Steve Eoff was all in and at risk with {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} against the {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades} of Jesse Brown. The flop gave Eoff some hope as it came {K-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}. The turn card would hit him but it was the case ace, the {A-Clubs}, to give Brown a lock on the hand. Eoff was eliminated in 17th place for $2,078.

Jesse Brown Eliminated in 16th Place ($2,078)

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Jesse Brown - 16th place
Jesse Brown - 16th place

After losing a race to Randy Murfin that doubled Murfin up, Jesse Brown would get his chips in good against Joel Nimmo holding {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} to Nimmo's {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}.

The flop came {J-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts} to give Nimmo a pair of jacks. The turn was the {6-Diamonds} and Brown merely needed to fade a king or jack on the river to double up. The river was the {J-Clubs} and the table moaned as the ever hot Nimmo continued his unbelievable run.

Brown was eliminated in 16th place for $2,078.
