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.

Alex Kotliarsky Eliminated in 12th Place ($4,192)

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 20,000 ante
Alex Kotliarsky
Alex Kotliarsky

Alex Kotliarsky had spun up his crumbs to over 1 million and open-jammed under the gun. Barb Visher announced a call on the button.

Alex Kotliarsy: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Barb Visher: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Visher flopped top pair, top kicker on {4-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{3-Spades} to pick up two more immediate outs to knock out Kotliarsky. The turn {4-Diamonds} was safe, but the river {q-Hearts} peeled off right behind it to give Visher trips and eliminate Kotliarsky in 12th place, just a few positions shy of making back-to-back final tables in this event after chopping it heads up in January, 2020.

Joseph Gunn
Joseph Gunn

Jeff Heiberg open-limped the cutoff and saw James Callanan complete his small blind. Joseph Gunn checked his option in the big blind and the three went to a flop of {9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{j-Clubs}.

Callanan checked and Gunn bet 235,000. Heiberg raised to 700,000 and Callanan folded, sending action back to Gunn who jammed all in for a bit more and was immediately called.

Joseph Gunn: {j-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}
Jeff Heiberg: {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

"Nice hand," said Gunn upon seeing his top pair was up against jacks and nines. He did not hit running sixes as {10-Hearts}{5-Clubs} completedthe runout and was eliminated in 10th place as a result.

With his elimination, nine now remain and those nine have reached the final table. They are in the process of drawing for seats and will soon go on a 40-minute dinner break thereafter. An updated seat draw and list of chip counts will be posted shortly.

Barb Visher

"Well, since I'm tilting," said Barb Visher after losing the previous hand, tossing in a raise to 360,000 in the cutoff. Cy Church called on the button and action went heads up to af lop of {j-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{7-Spades}.

"Can I ask you a question?" said Visher to Church, looking over to him on her direct left. "What would a good player do?"

The table set about in laughter while Church cracked a visible smile, and then Visher followed it up by announcing she was all in. Church called.

Barb Visher: {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Cy Church: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Visher's top pair with a queen kicker was behind that of Church's, and she did not catch the three outer she needed as the turn {10-Diamonds} and river {a-Clubs} completed the runout to result in her being the first to fall at the final table.

Cy Church pumped it up to 450,000 on the button and Vincent Moscati re-jammed for around 1.8 million in the small blind. Church immediately called and the two were off to the races.

Vincent Moscati: {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Cy Church: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}

The race was over as quickly as it began, with the flop {7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} giving Church quads. Moscati eventually improved to the second-nut flush as the turn {6-Clubs} and river {3-Clubs} completed the runout, but it was nothing more than a consolation prize for his fifth-place elimination.
