Lou Ojeda Eliminated in 17th Place ($14,398)

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Lou Ojeda
Lou Ojeda

With around 600,000 in the pot and a board reading {7-Spades}{9-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}, Lou Ojeda got his stack of 1.15 million all in against Elliott Hebden in spot primed for a double.

Elliott Hebden: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Lou Ojeda: {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Ojeda was ahead with two pair but Hebden has been on a heater. That was evidenced when the {a-Hearts} spiked on the river to give him a bigger two pair and another robust pot. Meanwhile, Ojeda was left shaking his head as he headed to the payout desk to collect $14,398 for his 17th-place finish.

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Tracy Sibson
Tracy Sibson

Tracy Sibson moved all in from the hijack for 365,000. Ralph Massey was next to act and put in the chips to call. All of the remaining players folded and the players turned their cards over.

Ralph Massey: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Tracy Sibson: {a-Spades}{8-Hearts}

The {7-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop presented some chops outs, and the {10-Spades} turn gave Sibson flush outs. The {j-Clubs} river locked up the hand for Massey, and Sibson was eliminated in 16th.

Andy Tran

Erik Koch raised to 175,000 in middle position, Andy Tran was next to act and moved all in for 805,000. The action folded back around to Koch who snap called.

Erik Koch: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Andy Tran: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Tran was on the wrong side of this unavoidable cooler and was unable to improve as the {3-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{q-Hearts} flop, {3-Clubs} turn and {10-Hearts} river did not contain a king. Tran was eliminated in 15th.

Greg Jennings Eliminated in 14th Place ($17,215)

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Greg Jennings
Greg Jennings

Greg Jennings moved all in for 1.1 million from the cutoff and Andrew Holland called from the big blind.

Andrew Holland: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Greg Jennings: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

It was a flip but not after the flop came down {a-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{a-Spades} to give Holland trip aces. Jennings was looking for a high five to save his tournament life but the poker gods left him hanging as the {7-Clubs} bricked the turn followed by the {10-Clubs} on the river.

Bryant Miller Eliminated in 13th Place ($17,215)

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Bryant Miller
Bryant Miller

Bryant Miller moved all in for 1.075 million from the cutoff and WPT champ Keven Stammen thought for a bit before jamming over the top from the button. Both blinds got out of the way and the hands were tabled.

Bryant Miller: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Keven Stammen: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}

Miller got it in good but disaster struck when the {7-Hearts}{2-Spades}{a-Clubs} flop paired Stammen. Neither the {k-Hearts} turn nor {8-Clubs} river was the fishhook Miller needed and he headed for the exit.

Rob Sinclair

Robert Sinclair raised to 275,000 in middle position and Isaac Kratchman three-bet to 670,000 from the cutoff. The action folded back around to Sinclair who called.

The flop came {j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and Sinclair check-raised all in for 1,800,000. Kratchman didn't waste much time before he called.

Isaac Kratchman: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Robert Sinclair: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

Sinclair was unable to improve as the board ran out {3-Clubs} and {7-Diamonds}. Sinclair will take home $20,345 for his 12th place finish.

Andrew Holland Eliminated in 11th Place ($20,345)

Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Andrew Holland
Andrew Holland

Bad luck led to the demise of Andrew Holland.

In the first hand, Robert Noel was all in preflop for 1.31 million and Holland, who barely had him covered, had him on the ropes.

Andrew Holland: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Robert Noel: {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

Holland was way out in front but Noel got some help on the {k-Hearts}{4-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop. He needed more though and got it straight away when the dealer burned and turned the {k-Diamonds}. The {6-Diamonds} river improved Noel to a full house and left Holland with crumbs.

Holland got it in the very next hand against both Noel and Ralph Massey, who checked it down on a {k-Spades}{7-Clubs}{j-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs} runout. Hollan had {j-}{8-} but it was no good as Noel had rivered a straight with his {3-}{5-}.
