Shaun Deeb Eliminated in 14th Place ($15,979)

[user66118]

Under the gun, Shaun Deeb came in raising once again. The table passed all the way around to the big blind where Daniel Walsh opted to three-bet Deeb this time. The young pro moved all in, and before the words were out of his mouth, Walsh called (and Deeb cringed).

Showdown
Deeb: {A-Spades}

Walsh:

The flop gave a little bit of a sweat as the {9-Clubs}

gave Deeb a gutshot straight draw. The {7-Spades}

on the turn was a decent card, adding a few chop outs for the at-risk player. But it just wasn't meant to be. The river came the {5-Spades}

, a clean miss, and Shaun Deeb has been eliminated from the field.

Doubling Danno

[user66118]

Before the flop, Daniel Walsh opened with a raise, Shaun Deeb three-bet it, and Walsh came along to the flop. It showed up {Q-Spades}

. After a series of bets and raises, Walsh ended up all in for his last 136,500. Deeb looked him up, showing down {A-Hearts}

. It was no good though; Walsh's {3-Hearts}

had outflopped Deeb's rockets, in good shape for a big double up.

When the turn and river came {6-Spades}

and

, he did indeed secure his double up, sitting now with 338,000. Deeb, who has been up and down like an elevator today, has slipped back down to 250,000.

Billy Kopp raised from under the gun preflop and was called by only Kenny Milam in the big blind. The flop came down {10-Hearts}

and both players checked.

The turn brought the {K-Spades}

The river was the {5-Spades}

and Milam fired again. This time he made it 22,000. Kopp instantly announced a call. Milam complimented the call and showed only the {4-Diamonds}

while Kopp turned over {6-Hearts}

Mark Gallagher Eliminated in 15th Place ($15,979)

[user66118]

From late position, Suju Abraham moved all in for 83,500 first into the pot. Action came around to Mark Gallagher in the big blind, and he made the call for his last 70,000 chips, putting his own tournament life in danger.

Showdown
Abraham: {A-Spades}

Gallagher: {K-Diamonds}

Right in the door came the {A-Clubs}

, which was bad news for the at-risk player. Indeed, the board ran out {A-Clubs}

, spelling the end of Gallagher's day. He took a little pay bump, pocketing just under $16,000 for his two-day effort.

Andy Slater Eliminated in 16th Place ($13,982)

[user66118]

Shaun Deeb came in raising as usual, this time to 12,000 from the cutoff. Three seats down, big blind Andy Slater made the call. The flop rolled out {A-Hearts}

. Seeing Slater check, Deeb continued out with a bet of 15,000, which was quickly called.

The turn card brought the {A-Diamonds}

. Slater passed again, and Deeb fired another 31,500 chips. Again, Slater came along to the last card.

River: {2-Hearts}

. Slater passed, Deeb bet 58,000, and Slater moved all in for 80,000 total. Deeb called, tabling {A-Spades}

for the full book. Slater opened up his unlucky {A-Clubs}

, his trips being no match for Deeb.

With that, Andy Slater becomes our 16th-place finisher, taking home just shy of $14,000 for his work.

Inaction

[user66118]

Well, we're at a loss for action here in the first 20 minutes of the level, so we'll relay the most exciting thing that has happened so far.

Opening the pot from the button, Steven McKoy raised to 12,500. Next to act, Suju Abraham announced that he was all in, sliding out his remaining 63,000 chips. McKoy would go into the tank for more than a minute before prodding, "I have king high. Is that good?" After another moment, he let his hand go. Abraham showed his {Q-Diamonds}

as he raked in a chunk of free chips.

Steven McKoy was given a verbal warning following the fold for disclosing the contents of his hand.

See? Isn't that exciting?
