Kevin Cunningham Eliminated in 15th Place ($3,381)

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Kevin Cunningham

With the blinds still at 5K/10K, Blake Napierala raised to 20,000 from early position and five players called to se a {9-Spades}{3-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop. Kevin Cunningham was first to act and bet 100,000, leaving around 80,000 behind. Two players folded, and Blake Napierala min-raised to 200,000. Charles Johnson folded, putting the action back on Cunningham. He peeked back at the tournament clock a few times, thought a bit longer, and finally pounded his chips into the middle. He was nearly drawing dead.

Napierala: {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Cunningham: {K-Spades}{9-Clubs}

The {6-Clubs} turn and {4-Hearts} river put the final nail in Cunningham's coffin, and he shook everyone's hand before making his exit.

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Trushang Desai raised his button, Sil Derubeis three-bet from the big blind and Desai shoved for around 200,000. Derubeis called.

Desai: {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Derubeis: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

The {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} flop opened up a lot of opportunities for Desai, but he bricked the {J-Spades} turn and {6-Spades} river. With that, we're down to our final two tables.
