Sharman Olshan Eliminated in 9th Place ($1,372)

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 1,000 ante
Sharman Olshan
Sharman Olshan

Jason Stockfish made it 45,000, Sharman Olshan shoved in her final 100,000 and Stockfish made the call with {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}.

It was a classic race with Olshan holding {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and it was all but over fairly quickly when the flop fell {a-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{5-Spades}.

The turn brought the {8-Spades} and the river was the {q-Hearts}, ending Olshan's day.

Showdown At High Noon

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 1,000 ante

Play has slowed considerably nine handed with no one wanting to be the next person out.

However, one big confrontation just played out on the felt with Event #1 Champ Jerry Calvaneso limping from late position and Jason Stockfish shipping it in from the big blind for some 290,000.

Calvaneso threatened to call a number of times, asked if Stockfish would show and continually expressed interest in a real confrontation.

With Stockfish saying very little except that he "might" show, Calvaneso eventually thought better of it and let go of {k-}{q-}. Stockfish did not show.

James Morin Eliminated in 10th Place ($1,067)

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

James Morin shipped it short on the flop with an unconnected {k-}{q-} and failed to get there versus Joe Ciffa's pocket jacks.

The tournament is now nine handed.
