Kelvin Foster Eliminated in 14th Place ($2,812)

Level 22 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Kelvin Foster - 14th place
Kelvin Foster - 14th place

Kelvin Foster moved all in under the gun for approximately 550,000 and Buzz Papalia called out of the big blind with {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. Foster held {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and would need some help if he was going to knock out Papalia.

The flop gave Foster some hope as it came {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} to give him an open-ended straight draw. The turn was the {9-Clubs} and the river was the {J-Diamonds} though to give Papalia the double up to 1.1 million and crippling Foster down to less than 50,000. Foster would be eliminated two hands later in 14th place.

Fred Miller Eliminated in 15th Place ($2,812)

Level 22 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Fred Miller
Fred Miller

A short-stacked Fred Miller moved all in for his last 120,000 and was called by the big stack of Nicholas Mann. Miller held {A-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and was facing Mann's {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

Miller would stay in the lead all the way through the turn with the dealer putting out the {6-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs}{7-Spades} but the {10-Clubs} on the river would swing the lead over to Mann, causing Miller to throw his hands up slightly in frustration as he was eliminated in 15th place. Mann added to his chip lead and now has 1,630,000.

Evan Panesis Eliminated in 16th Place ($2,340)

Level 21 : 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
Evan Panesis
Evan Panesis

Evan Panesis moved all in first to act from the button and was called by Stan Trim out of the big blind. Panesis had {A-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Trim {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. The board ran out {Q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Panesis had Trim barely covered, with just 3,000 left (one ante) after sending Trim 271,000 of his stack.

Trim moved up to 575,000 after the hand and Panesis would be eliminated on the very next hand.

Daniel Zucker Eliminated in 17th Place ($2,340)

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante
Daniel Zucker - 17th place
Daniel Zucker - 17th place

Danny Lobato opened for 60,000 and was called by Daniel Zucker out of the big blind. The flop came {6-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and Zucker checked to Lobato who bet 125,000. Zucker didn't think long before announcing that he was all in and Lobato snap-called and tabled {A-Spades}{10-Spades} for the nut flush draw and two overs. Zucker held {7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for second pair with an inside straight draw.

The turn gave Lobato the flush as it was the {7-Spades} but Zucker was not drawing dead yet as he had hit two pair. The river paired the board but it was the {6-Hearts} and Lobato added to his chip lead. Zucker could only shake his head, muttering under his breath "wow, snap-called."

Zucker was eliminated in 17th place for $2,340.

Matthew Menes - 18th place
Matthew Menes - 18th place

Matthew Menes was all in preflop and at risk holding {9-}{8-} against Nicholas Mann's {A-}{Q-}. Menes would flop an open-ended straight draw on the {A-}{10-}{7-} flop but would be unable to improve. Menes finished in 18th place for $2,340.
