Ryan Barnett Eliminated in 10th Place ($6,192)

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Ryan Barnett
Ryan Barnett

Ryan Barnett opened for 110,000 in middle position and got called by Ryan Remington in the hijack and Don Marquis in the small blind. The flop came {8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Marquis checked. Barnett shoved, saying it was in his wheelhouse, and Remington quickly jammed as well. Despite having just 50,000 back, Marquis mucked.

Barnett: {7-Spades}{6-Spades}
Remington: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Both were drawing but Remington's draw was far stronger. The {k-Hearts} arrived on the turn and the {5-Clubs} on the river to send the pot to Remington with the nut flush.

Steve Wilkie opened for 100,000 under the gun. Leonardo Valenzuela called on his left, as did Ryan Remington in the hijack.

Valenzuela called and then saw the board pair again with the {4-Diamonds}.

This time, Valenzuela bet out what looked like 250,000, but Remington snap-called with {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}.

Sam Benavram shoved in the cutoff for about 500,000 and Ryan Remington snap-called on the button. The blinds folded

Remington: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Benavram: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

The {10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{a-Spades} flop made it a near certainty Benavram would be eliminated but he turned a tiny chance with the {q-Spades}. The river was paint but it was a {k-Spades}.
