Bekavac Busted by Santi

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Dan Bekavac
Dan Bekavac

Dan Bekavac's run in the tournament has come to an end at the hands of Josh Santi.

Bekavac open-jammed his final 53,000 in the hijack and was called by Santi in the cutoff. The rest of the table folded and Bekavac was at risk.

Dan Bekavac: {q-Spades}{4-Clubs}
Josh Santi: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Help came for Bekavac on the {q-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop, but the {6-Clubs} turn and {7-Hearts} river ended his chance of making Day 2 late in the day again.

With respect to Ryan DePaulo's vlog, we've had a great opportunity to pay homage with this shot of popular local player Dave Ouellette and his buddy Jack.

Ouellette and Jack are sitting with a healthy 138,000 chips as the night winds down with a potential hard stop at 31 players looming.

Defending Champion Howard Eliminated

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Taylor Howard
Taylor Howard

There will be a new South Dakota state poker champion, as Taylor Howard has been eliminated by DJ Buckley.

The duo's latest clash saw Buckley raise to 7,000 under the gun and after a couple of players called, Howard moved all in for approximately 55,000 from the small blind.

Buckley moved all in for slightly more and the rest of the table folded.

Taylor Howard: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
DJ Buckley: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

Howard's tournament life was on thin ice, and the {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop meant he would need running spades to survive.

The {q-Clubs} on the turn ended those hopes, followed by an inconsequential {2-Hearts} on the river to end Howard's chances of repeating as champion.

MSPT Superstars' Short Stacks Clash

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Defending champion Taylor Howard opened for 7,000 on the button and was met with a 47,000 chip jam from the small blind by DJ Buckley in the small blind.

Howard called and Buckley's tournament life was at risk.

DJ Buckley: {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}
Taylor Howard: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

The board came {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}{10-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and Buckley's pair of fours held up to double him up to nearly 100,000, while Howard was left with 13 big blinds.

Putnam Doubles Through Nisselius

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Claire Putnam
Claire Putnam

The woman with the brightest hair in the room is still alive after doubling up in a recent hand.

Claire Putnam moved all in for 45,000 over a 12,000 chip early position raise from Mike Nisselius.

Nisselius gave it some thought and then called to see that he was in bad shape.

Claire Putnam: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Mike Nisselius: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}

The dealer spread a board of {7-Spades}{6-Spades}{k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, to bring no help to Nisselius and give Putnam a critical double-up.
