Thomas Babiarz Eliminated in 11th Place ($3,355)

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

Pete Kaemmerlen opened for 31,000 under the gun and cleared the field all the way around to Thomas Babiarz, who moved all in for 124,000 from the big blind. Kaemmerlen snap-called and the cards were turned up.

Kaemmerlen: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Babiarz: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Both players shared a jack, and since Kaemmerlen's ace kicker was best, Babiarz was looking for some big-time help. The {4-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop was disaster as Kaemmerlen paired his king, which left Babiarz in need of running cards. The {5-Spades} turn made it so a deuce on the river would result in a chop, but that didn't happen as the {10-Hearts} peeled off.

Babiarz was eliminated in 11th place, which means the final ten players will now combine to the final table.
