Yale Bernadotte
Yale Bernadotte

Yale Bernadotte went all in under the gun for his last handful of big blinds and Nathan Fair looked him up from the hijack.

Yale Bernadotte: {a-}{j-}
Nathan Fair: {k-}{k-}

The board ran out with five bricks to leave Bernadotte's ace-jack no good against Fair's cowboys, resulting in his elimination from the tournament in 16th place.

Gary Ewald Eliminated in 15th Place ($5,627)

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Gary Ewald
Gary Ewald

Gary Ewald opened under the gun to 75,000 and action made its way around to Derek Mcmaster, who defended his big blind. The flop came {9-Spades}{3-Spades}{k-Clubs} and Mcmaster checked. Ewald made a continuation-bet of 100,000 and Mcmaster check-raised to 215,000. Ewald three-bet all in and Mcmaster called.

Gary Ewald: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Derek Mcmaster: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Ewald was poised for his third straight double but Mcmaster spoiled his visions with the turn {j-Diamonds}, leaving Ewald in need of an ace, nine, or three to stay alive. The river {5-Hearts} was none of them and the dealer called for a payout as Ewald was eliminated in 15th place.

Jeremy Dresch Eliminated in 14th Place ($5,627)

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Jeremy Dresch
Jeremy Dresch

Jeremy Dresch went all in for his last 400,000 or so in the cutoff and Dennis Stevermer quickly gave him action out of the small blind, turning over his hand to show Dresch the bad news as soon as the big blind got out of the way.

Jeremy Dresch: {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Dennis Stevermer: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}

Dresch picked up four outs on the flop {q-Clubs}{5-Spades}{9-Clubs} but the turn {q-Hearts} and river {8-Hearts} left him hanging and dry on chips, resulting in him taking 14th place in the tournament.

Ryan Phan Eliminated in 13th Place ($5,627)

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Ryan Phan
Ryan Phan

Ryan Phan went all in for 337,000 on the button and Dedric Henderson asked for a count. Phan pushed his stack forward and it became visible enough for Henderson to announce a call right after Phan announced the number without the dealer coming close to confirming it.

Ryan Phan: {a-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Dedric Henderson: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Phan picked up extra outs on the flop {10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} with a gutshot straight draw that became a double gutter on the turn {q-Clubs} despite him losing his outs to an eight. Regardless, it was all for naught as the river {7-Hearts} completed the runout and sent Phan to the payout desk in 13th place.

Aaron Johnson Elimianted in 12th Place ($7,034)

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Aaron Johnson
Aaron Johnson

Derek Mcmaster opened under the gun to 110,000 and action made its way around to Aaron Johnson, who three-bet all in for around 550,000 from the big blind. Mcmaster called.

Aaron Johnson: {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}
Derek Mcmaster: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Mcmaster once again found himself putting an opponent at risk for his tournament life with a commanding lead. This time, he would fade the backdoor straight as the board ran out {3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs} to end the 2018 MSPT Player of the Year's run in 12th place.

Blake Bohn Eliminated in 11th Place ($7,034)

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Blake Bohn
Blake Bohn

Dedric Henderson was in the cutoff and raised to 250,000. Blake Bohn went all in from the small blind for a little over 800,000 and Henderson quickly called.

Blake Bohn: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Dedric Henderson: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

"I don't like that hand," said Bohn upon seeing Henderson's pair of queens.

The flop {3-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{a-Spades} was of no help to Bohn. He moved his hand over to one of his two tens and slid the card over on the felt slightly as if to ask for another one to come. The dealer did not comply, bringing a turn {7-Diamonds} and a river {a-Hearts} to complete the runout with Henderon's hand staying on top.

"Good luck guys," said Bohn, tapping the table as he got up and made his way to the payout desk as the 11th-place finisher.

Per TDA rules, the MSPT now reaches the final table at nine, meaning one more elimination is needed to make the final table. When that happens, the tournament clock will be paused for a dinner break.

Nicholas Welu
Nicholas Welu

Dennis Stevermer opened to 110,000 in the cutoff and Nicholas Welu put the last of his chips in from the small blind. Stevermer called.

Nicholas Welu: {k-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Dennis Stevermer: {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Welu needed to improve and was unable to do so as the board came {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} to end his night in 10th place. The tournament clock has now been paused with 12:51 left in Level 25 and players are in the process of filling out paperwork and racking up their chips to take them to the final table.

The tournament will resume at 7:45 p.m. local time with a live stream to follow shortly thereafter. Official information on the matter will be provded before play resumes.

Brandon Waalen jammed all in for 525,000 in early position and received action from Dedric Henderson, who was in the cutoff.

Brandon Waalen: {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}
Dedric Henderson: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Waalen needed to spike a deuce and found no help on the runout as it came {8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts} to result in him finishing in ninth place in the tournament. With the elimination, all remaining players are now guaranteed five-figure paydays.

Phil Mader
Phil Mader

Derek Mcmaster opened to 130,000 in early position and action made its way to Phil Mader, who three-bet all in for 530,000 on the button. Mcmaster asked how much and then quickly saw Mader's stack size and announced a call.

Phil Mader: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Derek Mcmaster: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

The two were off to the races and Mader pulled in front on the flop {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}. However, the turn {q-Hearts} gave him seven more outs at a straight and the river {a-Hearts} came to fill Mcmaster up to Broadway, topping Mader's top two pair to result in him leaving the tournament in eighth place.

Dennis Stevermer was in the cutoff and jammed all in for his last 710,000. Derek Mcmaster called in the small blind.

Dennis Stevermer: {k-Spades}{9-Spades}
Derek Mcmaster: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Stevermer was in bad shape and the flop came {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, leaving him with nothing but running outs to stay alive. The turn {8-Hearts} gave him three outs at a gutshot straight draw on the river, but it did not come as the river {10-Clubs} hit the felt to spell his elimination in seventh place.
