Joel Farris Eliminated In 18th Place ($1,804)

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Joel Farris
Joel Farris

Joel Farris took a flop against Papa Karn that saw all the chips get in the middle on a {a-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop. Farris held {k-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for the second-nut flush draw. Unfortunately, Karn held {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for top pair and the nut flush draw. The board bricked out {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, leaving Farris with just one big blind.

On the next hand, Farris limped all-in for his last blind. Matthew Blackwell raised to 40,000, and everyone else folded.

"I've got the nuts," Farris said. "You're dead."

Farris - {6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}
Blackwell - {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

The board ran out clean for the pocket pair, {q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Hearts}, and Farris exits the RGPS Main Event in 18th place. For his performance this weekend, Farris takes home $1,804.

Kyle Kinder raised the minimum on the button and Shannon Scott called from the big blind. The flop came {8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, and Scott check-called a bet from Kinder. The turn brought the {9-Diamonds} and Scott shipped it all in only to get snap-called by Kinder.

Scott tabled {6-}{6-} for middle pair, well behind Kinder's {9-}{9-} for top set. The river paired the board with another {8-} and Scott exits the tournament in 16th place. For his performance this weekend, Scott goes home $1,804 richer.

Eric Kelly Eliminated in 15th Place ($2,399)

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

We missed the hand, but Eric Kelly recounted it for us on his way to the payout cage. Kelly says he opened with a raise and Lance Hendricks called on his left. The flop came {a-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and Kelly continued for 34,000. Hendricks check-raised to 95,000 and Kelly got the last of his modest stack in, which Hendricks called.

Kelly - {a-}{5-Diamonds}
Hendricks - {a-}{6-}

Hendricks flopped two pair and had a hammer lock on the hand. Kelly would need running fives or running diamonds to stay alive. Kelly couldn't remember what the turn card was, but says the {q-Spades} came on the river.

Kelly went out in 15th place and earned a $2,399 payday.

Felix "Frank" Kennedy Eliminated in 14th Place ($2,399)

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Felix "Frank" Kennedy
Felix "Frank" Kennedy

Felix Kennedy open-shipped for around 200,000 chips and Nic Petree re-shoved in late position. The blinds folded and the hands were turned up.

Kennedy - {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Petree - {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}

It's a race with Kennedy's tournament at risk. The flop came {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}, little help to Kennedy. The turn brought a sweat with the {6-Spades}. Kennedy could catch an ace, king, or spade to stay alive. None of them arrived when instead the river came the {7-Hearts}.

For his deep run in the Main Event, Kennedy will take home $2,399.

Kurt Haiss Eliminated in 13th Place ($2,399)

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Kurt Haiss

Kurt Haiss shipped it all in for 240,000 and Nic Petree reshipped for more. Randy Ritterbush got out of the way and the hands were turned up.

Haiss - {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Petree - {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

"Oh, that's no good," Haiss commented after seeing Petree's hand.

Neither player improved as the board ran out {j-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Haiss made his way out of the tournament area. For his efforts this weekend, Haiss will take home $2,399.
