Jeff Joseph Eliminated in 11th Place ($460)

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Jeff Joseph shipped his last 88,000 with {k-}{6-} and got the call from Jerry Calvaneso on {j-}{k-}.

Joseph flopped a six, but Calvenso rivered a jack to send him out 11th.

With that the final table of 10 is now set.

Marciniak Doubles Through Hobrecker

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Jeffery Hobrecker has fallen from the top of the counts after doubling up Carrie Marciniak.

The action in this fateful hand began with a 25,000-chip open from Cameron Bartolotta that Hobrecker flatted. Marciniak then shipped it in for 106,000 more and after a fold from Bartolotta, Hobrecker went deep into the tank.

He emerged with a call, but was in tough with {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} versus Marciniak's {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}. The {3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts}{8-Hearts} run out ensured the double for Marciniak.

Milewski Doubles

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

Michael Milewski and Jerry Calvaneso got in a preflop raising war that saw Calvaneso eventually call Milewski's 120,000-chip shove with {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}.

Milewski held {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and it held on a {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}{6-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} board to push him up among the leaders and knock Calvenso down a peg or two.

Keith Macomber Eliminated in 12th Place ($460)

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

Keith Macomber got down to 9,000 and let it fly after an Alex Visbisky open to 18,000.

Michael Milewski defended his big blind, but folded when Visbisky bet the {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop.

It turned out Macomber was ahead with {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and Visbisky on {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}, but when Macomber paired up on the {a-Diamonds} turn, Visbisky made Broadway to send him out 12th.

Peter DeSantis Eliminated in 13th Place ($382)

Peter DeSantis
Peter DeSantis

Peter DeSantis called off the last of his chips with {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} after Cameron Bartolotta open-shipped with pocket sevens.

A seven on the flop ended most of DeSantis dreams and he was out 14th after a safe run out for Bartolotta.

Johnny Vegas Eliminated in 14th ($382)

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

Johnny Vegas is out 14th after shipping it in with {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and running into Jerry Calvaneso in the big blind holding an ace.

An ace flopped and it held.
