Bradley Girdler Eliminated in 7th Place ($8,612)

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Bradley Girdler
Bradley Girdler

Bradley Girdler open-shoved under the gun for 128,000 and only Hassan Jamil called.

Girdler: {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}
Jamil: {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

It was less-than classic, but still a race and Jamil took control of it on an {a-Hearts}{2-Spades}{10-Clubs} flop. Girdler got out of his chair for the {7-Diamonds} turn and left after the {3-Spades} river.

They are now down to six with just minutes left in Level 25.

Easy Game?

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Bradley Girdler is teetering on the brink of elimination now after doubling up Mark Roberts.

Roberts shoved an {8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop for 250,000 and after an eternity in the tank, Girdler called with just the {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}. He missed the brick turn and brick river, giving Roberts' {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} the win.

Even Steven

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Bradley Girdler and Lou Procopio both have half a million now that Girdler has doubled through Procopio.

Girdler got it in with the {a-Spades}{k-Spades} dominating Procopio's {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}. He held on a {5-Hearts}{q-Spades}{k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{a-Hearts} board.

Rob Bourkney Eliminated in 8th Place ($6,698)

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Rob Bourkney
Rob Bourkney

North Collins, NY's own Rob Bourkney held on as long as he could with the short stack. Then he got it in preflop with the {a-Hearts}{5-Spades} versus Ernie Guardarramas' dominating {a-Spades}{9-Clubs}.

Guardarramas held on a {j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{6-Clubs} board to move back into the chip lead and send Bourkney home early.

Battle Of The Blinds

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Ernie Guardarramas
Ernie Guardarramas

Ernie Guardarramas has climbed back near the top of the counts by winning the battle of the blinds.

First he bet 400,000 into a 400,000-chip pot on a {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds} board to push newly minted chip leader Jason Sagle off a small versus big blind pot. Then, in another battle of the blinds, he called Bradley Girdler's small blind bet, and when Girlder continued on a flop with two queens, he came over the top with a big raise.

Girdler folded and here comes Guardarramas once again.
