Geoff Vail Eliminated in 9th Place ($9,700)

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Geoff Vail - 9th Place
Geoff Vail - 9th Place

Reza Yazdi opened for a raise in the hijack and was called by both Geoff Vail on the button and Kevin Boudreau in the blinds. On the {7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop, Boudreau checked to Yazdi, who fired 200,000. Vail moved all in for 805,000, and Boudreau shoved as well for about 1.4 million. Yazdi thought for awhile and mucked a {7-Clubs} face-up.

"I'm way behind," Vail said.

He was right, as Boudreau had flopped a set with {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}, while Vail had just {a-Spades}{6-Clubs} for a gutshot. No fours showed up as the {j-Spades} and {2-Diamonds} ended Vail's tournament.

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Reza Yazdi opened for 125,000 under the gun and was called by Shawn Sandt to his left. Yazdi fired 150,000 on the {k-Clubs}{6-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop, and Sandt called. A {5-Clubs} hit the turn, and Yazdi thought a long time before shoving for 795,000 effective. Sandt thought for awhile as well, and he mucked {k-Spades}{q-Hearts} face-up.

Yazdi claimed he had {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

Sandt: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}

Chrisp's kings found no danger on the {j-Spades}{2-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{8-Spades} run out, and Sandt was done in eighth.

Beauprez Folds the River

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Kevin Boudreau opened to 150,000 under the gun, and John Beauprez called from middle position. Boudreau bet 200,000 on the {j-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} flop, then 300,000 on the {10-Diamonds} turn. His river barrel was 600,000, and Beauprez went into the tank.

"I'm just not really a believer," he said with a smile.

Nonetheless, he got away from his hand after a couple of minutes.

Michael Lech shoved for about 700,000 in the small blind over a middle-position open from Kevin Boudreau. Boudreau called.

Boudreau: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Lech: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Boudreau's rail got excited after a {9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop gave him a set. The {4-Diamonds} turn meant only a {j-} would save Lech, but an {a-Spades} fell.
