Va Shon "Julian Verse" Watkins Eliminated

Watkins on Day 1
Watkins on Day 1
Nursing the short stack patiently, Va Shon "Julian Verse" Watkins saw action fold to him on the button. Watkins moved all in for slightly under 20,000 and the player in the big blind, John McDonald, made the call.

Showdown:
Watkins: {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts}
McDonald: {A-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}

The board ran out {Q-Clubs} {8-Spades} {6-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {5-Spades} to give McDonald a straight and send Watkins out of the tournament area quickly.

Adams Finds His Card... His Cards Rather

Jeff Daubs opened the pot with a raise from the button. That prompted big blind Lee Adams to move all in for another 4,700 on top. Daubs went into the tank for a minute before calling, putting Adams at risk of elimination.

Showdown:
Daubs: {A-Hearts} {7-Spades}
Adams: {K-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}

Right in the door came the {A-Clubs}, making a flop of {A-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {K-Spades}. With nothing changed, the turn card brought a big reaction as the {K-Clubs} ripped off, vaulting Adams into the lead. He wasn't happy with trips though; the dealer gave him the {K-Diamonds} on fifth street, making him the winning quad kings. He earns a double-up and then some, sitting now with just about 15,000.

So Long, Stiglets

Eric Stiglets - eliminated
Eric Stiglets - eliminated
Looking down at {8-Spades} {8-Hearts} in early position, Eric Stiglets made his stand, moving all in for just about 14,000 chips. Action passed around the table to Joaquin Sosa, and he made the call, having Stiglets well-covered. One or two players down the line appeared to be considering the call as well, but everyone yielded, allowing Sosa and Stiglets to play it heads up.

When the betting was close, Stiglets pleaded, "Please have ace-king." He had half of it right, but Sosa rolled over the {K-Diamonds} and the {K-Spades}, having the Poker Battle Warrior dominated and at risk of elimination.

The board was a big dry desert for Stiglets as it ran down {10-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}. Sosa improved to a flush, knocking off the mild-tempered pro in the process.

Just 25 players remain.

Kevin Culjat Eliminated

Joaquin Sosa opened up the action with a raise to 3,500. Jesse Hale made the call behind Sosa and then action folded around to Kevin Culjat in the big blind. Culjat moved all in for 9,200 total. Sosa elected to fold, but Hale made the call.

Hale held pocket sixes against Culjat's {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades}. The flop came down {J-Spades} {10-Spades} {5-Hearts}, giving Culjat some more straight outs to go with his two overcards.

The turn came the {8-Diamonds} and gave him even more outs, but the river fell a blank with the {3-Clubs}. Culjat wished everyone good luck and exited the Whiskey Roadhouse.

Larry Loose Eliminated

Shortly after Taylor's elimination, the same table saw another player bust. This time it was Larry Loose. Loose moved all in with {K-?} {J-?} and ran into a player's {A-?} {Q-?}. Ace high was the winning hand after all five cards were dealt across the flop and Loose was eliminated.

The remaining 27 players are now redrawing for the final three tables.
