Ben Keeline Eliminated in 14th Place; Victor Shumway Eliminated in 13th Place ($3,593)

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 20,000 ante
Ben Keeline
Ben Keeline

James Callanan raised to 275,000 in the hijack and Cy Church re-jammed for over 2 million on the button. Ben Keeline called his last few big blinds off in the big blind and then Callanan thought for a while before folding.

Ben Keeline: {j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Cy Church: {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}

"Nice call, Ben," said Callanan of Keeline's coin-flip opportunity to more than triple. However, the runout {2-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{q-Spades}{3-Spades} left Keeline missing an eventual 10-outer on the river to fall in 14th place.

A moment later, Victor Shumway fell in 13th after committing his last two big blinds under the gun and winding up with the second-best hand when all was said and done.

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Jerry Morrell
Jerry Morrell

Jerry Morrell opened to 175,000 under the gun and wound up getting all in preflop against James Callanan, who was on the button.

James Callanan: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Jerry Morrell: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}

The flop came {j-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{a-Hearts} to give Callanan top pair, top kicker and bring about a fist pump from him. He remained on top through the {4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} runout and his stack was counted to be 2.215 for the double. After paying it off, Morrell was left with just one big blind and lost it on his very next hand after being forced to commit the rest of his chips in the big blind, only to pick up six-three offsuit.

Patrick Suzuki open-jammed in the cutoff and received action from Frank Wright in the small blind. Wright had the better hand the whole way and sent Suzuki out in 24th.

Morrell Eliminates Miller To Bring About the Redraw Before Break

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Jerry Morrell
Jerry Morrell

Jerry Morrell open-jammed on the button to put the blinds all in, both of whom were shortstacked. John Miller was in the big blind and looked him up.

John Miller: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Jerry Morrell: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

The flop {q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{a-Spades} gave Miller four more outs to sweat, but the original six went away on the turn {7-Clubs}. Unfortunately for Miller, the river {10-Hearts} gave Morrell Broadway and eliminated im in 28th place on the very last hand before break.

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
James Rodriguez
James Rodriguez

James Rodriguez open-jammed for around 280,000 in early position and saw Victor Shumway re-jam with a stack that covered slightly, doing so from middle position and forcing folds from everybody behind.

James Rodriguez: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}
Victor Shumway: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Rodriguez hit neither of his two live cards on the flop {2-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, and the turn {k-Hearts} paired Shumway, leaving Rodriguez drawing dead to the river {a-Clubs} to bring about the overall Day 1 chip leader's elimination from the tournament.

Walker Rides a Roller Coaster To Double

Level 20 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Jordan Walker
Jordan Walker

A preflop raising war saw Jordan Walker commit his stack of around 225,000 into the middle preflop against a player across the table.

Jordan Walker: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Opponent: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Walker's opponent flopped top set as [jqd6h] was fanned onto the felt, with {j-Hearts} improving him to a full house. Down to one last card for his tournament life, Walker binked the {k-Spades} on the river and scored the double, sending the entire table into eruption in the process.

Sandoval Gunned Down

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Joseph Gunn
Joseph Gunn

Daniel Mingus opened to 30,000 under the gun and was three-bet to 100,000 by Joseph Gunn in the cutoff. Daniel Sandoval then cold four-bet jammed for 400,000 in the big blind.

Mingus went Full Sherman, going into the tank for several minutes before finding a clearly painful fold, with Gunn calling and quickly turning over two aces behind.

"I folded queens!" exclaimed Mingus upon seeing Gunn's aces.

Daniel Sandoval: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Joseph Gunn: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

"Seven," said Sandoval, seeing the uncomplying flop {3-Clubs}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds} come onboard. The turn {k-Diamonds} followed.

"Seven!" said Sandoval once more, down to his final chance. No seven came, with the river falling {k-Spades} to earn Gunn the pot of nearly 1 million and send Sandoval to payouts. With the pot, Gunn now has 1.02 million, making him the first player to reach seven figures in the tournament.
