Pat Walsh Eliminated in 25th Place

Pat Walsh - 25th Place
Pat Walsh - 25th Place
We pick up the action on the flop in a heads-up confrontation between Pat Walsh and Jeremiah Vinsant. Walsh was the preflop raiser, and there were about 14,000 chips in the pot.

The dealer ran out the flop: {7-Hearts} {7-Spades} {J-Hearts}. After taking a moment or two to consider, Walsh moved the rest of his short stack into the middle. Vinsant beat him into the pot with his own chips, turning over {K-Spades} {J-Clubs}. Walsh could only show {6-Clubs} {6-Spades}, and he was in danger of being eliminated.

The turn and river were blanks, {2-Diamonds} and {A-Diamonds} respectively, and that spells the end of Pat Walsh.

After a raise in front of him, David Rylander moved all in with his short stack. Next to him, Quentin Battle looked down at {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs} and moved all in himself. The original raiser eventually folded, and Rylander tabled his {8-Hearts} {8-Clubs}, trailing and at risk of elimination.

Much to his displeasure, the board ran out {A-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {4-Diamonds}, failing to improve him. With that, David Rylander makes his exit in 26th place.

Preflop, Gavin Smith raised to 8,500 and Paula Halata tried to call with only 6,000. The dealer corrected her mistake and both players saw the flop of {10-Spades} {9-Clubs} {9-Spades}.

Smith bet 35,000, which was enough to put Halata all in and she made the call.

Smith: {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds}
Halata: {A-Hearts} {10-Clubs}

Halata needed one of the remaining tens to win the hand. The turn fell the {7-Diamonds} and the river fell the {J-Diamonds}. Halata then got up to leave and let everyone know that "It was fun. Actually, it wasn't fun, but I was happy to be here."

After the hand, Smith moved up to around 145,000 in chips.

Frank Wyville Doubles Up through David Dao

Preflop, David Dao raised to 12,000. Frank Wyville reraised to 27,000 to go. Dao then decided to move all in and Wyville goes into the tank.

Finally, Wyville says "I haven't called all in with this hand all tournament, but I call."

Wyville: {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}
Dao: {Q-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}

Wyville let out a "Yes!" He then calms down quickly, realizing that he still could be outdrawn.

The flop fell {A-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} and Captain Tom Franklin said, "There you go." The turn of the {2-Clubs} and river of the {5-Clubs} missed both players and Wyville doubled up to 289,200 in chips. He is now the new chip leader.
