Mike Ross Eliminated in 28th place ($2,704)

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

During the last level, Mike Ross lost a large pot with {a-}{k-} versus {k-}{q-}, when two queens came on the flop. On this hand, Ross shoved all in for 98,000 and Michael Ferrarotti called from the big blind. Ross had {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and Ferrarotti had {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}. The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and ended Ross's day.

Steele Steals Huge Pot, Over 800,000

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

Patrick Steele and Dylan Thomassie got all in preflop. Steele was the shorter stack at 421,000 and the win would have put Thomassie over 1 million and sent Steele home to celebrate his birthday tomorrow. Thomassie had {a-}{a-} and Steele had {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

The board ran out {5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades} and gave Steele quite a sweat since he had only club. When the {k-Diamonds} hit the river, Steele quietly cheered as the dealer began to count out his chips. The hand put Steele over 800,000 and left Thomassie with scraps. A few hands later Thomassie busted.

Love Doubles Through Janssen

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

Imari Love went all in from the hijack for 155,000. George Janssen called from the small blind. Love turned over {10-Spades}{7-Spades} and was behind Janssen's {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}. The board changed that pretty fast when it came {4-Spades}{5-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and finished Love's flush on the turn with the {8-Spades}. The river gave love a straight he didn't need and left Janssen short.

Janssen has managed to get through a cooler on Day 1a, when he had an ace high flush against the straight flush of Mike Ross, but will have to do some work if he wants to parlay his 60,000 stack into an MSPT Championship.
