Jeff Morrill Eliminated in 15th Place ($12,510), Mark Burrier Eliminated in 14th Place ($12,510)

Mark Burrier - 14th Place
Mark Burrier - 14th Place
Before the flop, Jeff Morrill moved all in for just 5,000 holding {Q-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}. Both David Dao and Mark Burrier made the call.

The flop brought {7-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {8-Spades}. Mark Burrier moved all in, and Dao made the call, putting two men on the brink of elimination.

Showdown:
Morrill: {Q-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}
Dao: {8-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}
Burrier: {A-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}

Everyone had a piece of it, but Dao was in the lead. The turn and river came {7-Spades} and {2-Hearts} respectively, failing to improve either all-in player. With that, David Dao kills two birds with one stone, chipping his way back up close to the 200,000 chip mark.

No Hyde-ing from Stout

Matt Stout opened the pot with a raise to 11,000. Action passed around the blinds, where Gavin Smith looked down at {K-?} {Q-?}. He made the call, and the decision was on the short-stacked Glenn Hyde. He had 53,500 chips left, and he moved them all in. Stout asked for a count and then quickly made the call. Smith opted to duck out, leaving the two heads up.

Showdown:
Stout: {A-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}
Hyde: {A-Clubs} {J-Hearts}

Hyde was in awful shape to stay alive, but the board smiled on him as it came down {Q-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {9-Clubs}. He didn't win all of the pot, but half of it was certainly good enough for Hyde, as he even increases his stack by a few thousand chips.

Redraw!

With the bustouts of Kathy Liebert and Va Shon Watkins, we are now down to 17 players. Our final two tables have been redrawn.

Va Shon Watkins Eliminated in 18th Place (Will Split $11,039 with Kathy Liebert)

Va Shon Watkins - 18th Place (T)
Va Shon Watkins - 18th Place (T)
According to Va Shon Watkins, during round for round, he shoved all in for 39,000 with {J-?} {9-?} suited and was called by a player with {7-?} {3-?}. The flop came with a seven and Watkins was unable to catch a jack or nine on either the turn or river.

As a result, Va Shon Watkins will split 18th place prize money with Kathy Liebert. Both players will receive $5519.50 for their strong finish.

Kathy Liebert Eliminated in 19th Place

Kathy Liebert - 19th Place
Kathy Liebert - 19th Place
In a recent hand, David Dao moved all in, and Kathy Liebert had the decision. She held {A-?} {10-?} and pondered for a while before calling, putting Dao at risk. Luckily for him, he held {A-?} {A-?}. The board ran safe, Dao doubled up, and Liebert was left crippled.

A few hands later, Liebert was in the big blind, having to post 4,000. The problem was that she had just 9,000 chips to her name. When Frank Wyville opened the pot for a raise to 15,000 from late position, Liebert pondered her decision. She had little choice, and the remaining 5,000 of her chips went into middle.

Showdown:
Wyville: {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts}
Liebert: {J-Spades} {3-Hearts}

No love for Liebert. The board ran out {K-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {5-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {3-Clubs}. She is out of chips, and she is headed for the exit in 19th place. She will fail to make the money unless another player is eliminated this orbit.

Round For Round

With the elimination of Jordan Morgan, we are down to our final 19 runners. The tournament is now being played round-for-round, meaning that any players eliminated in the next orbit will either bubble or share the bottom prize money.
