Nick Pupillo Eliminated in 16th Place ($5,675)

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Nick Pupillo
Nick Pupillo

Michael Kinzer opened with a raise from the hijack and was called by Cy Church from the cutoff before Nick Pupillo three-bet all in from the big blind. Action was back on Kinzer who isolated and both players tabled their hands.

Nick Pupillo: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Michael Kinzer: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Pupillo was behind and didn't find any help from the {2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop. The {9-Hearts} turn gave Pupillo more outs with a gutshot straight draw but the {4-Clubs} river ended his tournament.

John Schroer: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Nathan Regel: {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

Adam Joens raised all in for 303,000 from the hijack and was called by John Schroer from the small blind.

Adam Joens: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
John Schroer: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

Joens was ahead with his made hand but the {3-Hearts}{q-Spades}{10-Spades} flop gave him a sweat as it gave Schroer more outs drawing to broadway.

The turn came the {k-Spades} completing Schroer's straight but it also kept Joens alive drawing to any spade. Unfortunately for Joens, the river was a brick {2-Diamonds} and ended his tournament.

Tim Dunse Eliminated in 9th Place ($10,782)

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Tim Dunse
Tim Dunse

Tim Dunse opened for 125,000 from early position and was called by Paul Camby from the cutoff, along with Taylor Howard from the big blind.

The {k-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop saw Howard check-fold after Dunse jammed for roughly 400,000 while Camby called.

Tim Dunse: {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Paul Camby: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}

Both players paired their ace on the flop but Dunse had kicker issues and the {4-Diamonds} turn didn't change a thing. Dunse needed a five to fall on the river to stay alive but it came the {10-Hearts} and ended his tournament.
