Cafarella Over Findlay

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Adam Findlay shoved his last 23,000 in preflop with the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and Matt Cafarella called with the {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}. The jack-high board spelled the end of Findlay's run, just a few spots shy of a payday.

Hand-for-Hand

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

With the elimination of Travell Thomas in 17th place (pocket kings cracked by deuces), we're on the official money bubble. Play will be hand-for-hand until the next elimination.

Blake Napierala Eliminated on the Bubble

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Scott Hosbach opened to 11,500 from middle position and action folded around to Blake Napierala in the big blind. He announced all in for just over 100,000, and Hosbach quickly called.

Napierala: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Hosbach: {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

Hosbach took control quickly as the {6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} flop gave him a pair of aces, and the {5-Diamonds} and {K-Clubs} completed the board. Hosbach now owns a sizable chip lead over the rest of the field.

Matt Cafarella Eliminated in 14th Place ($1,047)

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

After losing most of his stack to Adam Foster (ace-queen to kings on a queen-high flop), Matt Cafarella got the rest in preflop with the {A-Clubs}{6-Hearts} against Scott Hosbach's {A-Hearts}{8-Spades}. Cafarella had decent odds at a chopped pot but Hosbach's eight kicker played on the {Q-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{J-Spades} board.

Maurice Sessum Eliminated in 12th Place ($1,262)

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Maurice Sessum moved all in from under the gun for around 60,000. Action folded to Rob Bourkney in the big blind and he snap-called.

Sessum: {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Bourkney: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

The {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{10-Spades} board gave both players a full house, but Bourkey's queens full of kings were best. Sessum hit the rail, leaving 11 players left eyeing the final table.
