William McCracken Eliminated in 7th Place ($5,952)

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
William McCracken
William McCracken

The action folded to William McCracken on the button and he shoved for around 350,000. Li Wu folded the small blind but Lance Hendricks called from the big blind.

McCracken - {k-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Hendricks - {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The flop paired both players when it came {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}, putting McCracken even further behind in the hand. The {2-Diamonds} on the turn only worsened McCracken's chances while the {3-Spades} on the river ended them completely.

This is McCracken's second RGPS final table appearance since December. He will take home $5,952 for his performance this weekend, along with an invitation to the end-of-season Poker After Dark freeroll.

Matthew Blackwell Elimiated in 8th Place ($4,929)

Level 22 : 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Matthew Blackwell
Matthew Blackwell

Matthew Blackwell has been getting his chips in good but failing to hold. A few orbits before he was knocked out, he got his {k-}{k-} all in against Li Wu's {a-Spades}{9-Spades}, but Wu came from behind to knock down Blackwell's stack to a mere 120,000. Blackwell tripled up a few hands later when his {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} miraculously held up against two players.

In Blackwell's last hand of the night, Papa Karn opened the pot for 55,000 and Blackwell, next-to-act, moved all-in for 355,000. The action folded to Nic Petree who went into the tank for almost a minute before reshoving for 1,040,000. The action folded back to Karn who asked for the count, but after half a minute decided to let his hand go.

Matthew Blackwell - {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Nic Petree - {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Blackwell must once again fade the overcards to continue his Showbound journey. The flop came {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, and once again Blackwell is facing elimination. The turn {5-Diamonds} was no help, and the {j-Hearts} river improved Petree to a flush.

Blackwell goes out in 8th place and will collect $4,929 from the prize pool as well as a seat in the Poker After Dark freeroll.

Clyde Lorance Eliminated in 9th Place ($4,166)

Level 22 : 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Clyde Lorance
Clyde Lorance

Matthew Blackwell opened the pot for 80,000 and Clyde Lorance moved all in for 300,000 straight. The action folded back to Blackwell who wasted no time announcing a call.

Blackwell - {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Lorance - {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Lorance gets it in with a premium hand but is up against the worst pair ace-queen can face. The board runs out clean for the pocket pair as it comes {j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{10-Hearts}{j-Spades} and Lorance makes his way to the exit.

For his 9th-place finish, Lorance receives $4,166 and a seat in the end-of-season Poker After Dark freeroll.

Norm Glueckert Eliminated in 10th Place ($3,181)

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Norm Glueckert
Norm Glueckert

We missed the hand but Lance Hendricks tells us the Nic Petree raised in middle position and Norm Glueckert defended his big blind. The flop came {2-}{3-}{5-}, and Glueckert check-raised all-in. Petree called and the hands were revealed.

Glueckert - {k-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Petree - {j-}{j-}

Glueckert would need help to stay alive but it did not arrive on the {8-} turn or the {10-} river.

Glueckert put on a short-stack clinic for the entire day, nursing a below-average stack to a seat at the final table. For his efforts this weekend, Glueckert will take home $3,181 and an invitation into the Poker After Dark freeroll.
