Randy Swackhamer Eliminated in 11th Place

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Randy Swackhamer, Kyle Gay and Rio Mansour saw a flop of {10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. Swackhamer shoved for 46,000, Rio Mansour called, and Gay got out of the way. Swackhamer showed top pair with the {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}, but Mansour had him dominated with the {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for a set. The {A-Diamonds} sealed the deal, and the meaningless {7-Hearts} gave Mansour quads. We've now reached our 10-handed final table. Seat draw coming shortly.

Joe O'Keefe opened from late position, Tom Scanlon three-bet from the cutoff, and Adam Greenly shoved from the small blind. O'Keefe folded, but Scanlon snap-called.

Greenly: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Scanlon: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}

The board ran out {5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}, sending Greenly out in 10th place. O'Keefe said he folded pocket queens and would have made a winning set on the river.

Joe O'Keefe

Shortly after folding his pocket queens preflop, Joe O'Keefe was all in with the {J-Spades}{Q-Clubs} against Greg Miller's {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, with Miller barely having O'Keefe covered. The {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{5-Spades} hit both players, but O'Keefe needed to go runner-runner to catch up. He was unable to do that on the {9-Diamonds} turn and {9-Clubs} river.
