Christy Cranford's hope of an RGPS title is no more as she entangled in a pot with John Heckenkamp that saw her eliminated.
John Heckenkamp began the hand with a raise preflop and was called by Christy Cranford to see a flop.
The flop came down 4♣8♠K♦ before Heckenkamp fired 50,000, which was raised to 125,000 by Cranford. Heckenkamp called.
The 9♠ turn resulted in a check from Heckenkamp, and Cranford fired another bet, which was called yet again.
Heckenkamp check-called the all-in of Cranford on the 8♠ river.
Cranford showed J♠J♥, but it was not enough to overcome the A♦A♠ of Heckenkamp as Cranford was out in 19th place.

David Brown opened to 45,000 on the button and was called by Dax Alexander in the small blind and Andre Allen in the big blind.
Both blinds checked to Brown on the 5♠8♥2♠ flop. Brown responded with an all-in for 130,000, which elicited a fold from Alexander, but Allen came along with a call to put Brown at risk.

Andre Allen: 10♠8♠
Brown was behind the top pair of Allen. The 7♥ turn did not change anything, and the 10♣ river shut the door on Brown's title hopes.
