Kevin Calenzo Eliminated in 25th Place ($3,124)

Kevin Calenzo, who finished second in the WSOPC Southern Indiana Main Event, was under the gun and moved all in for his last 90,000 or so. Jason Cluxton called from middle position and everyone else got out of the way.

Calenzo: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Cluxton: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

It was another race situation but the {K-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop put Calenzo behind. The {8-Spades} and {4-Diamonds} on the turn and river changed nothing and he was eliminated in 25th place. Calenzo came into the Main Event as the points leader on the National Leaderboard with 155 points. For his finish today, he will add another 10 points, bringing his total to 165 points. That is a solid 12.5 points in front of his next closest competitor, Shiva Dudani. What is even more impressive is that Calenzo has now cashed in all four WSOPC Main Events of the season.

James Jabaley Eliminated in 26th Place ($3,142)

Cary Purcell raised to 37,000 in early position and action folded to James Jabaley in the small blind. He called all in with {10-Clubs}{10-Spades} but was far behind Purcell's {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}.

The {9-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} gave Jabaley a set and the lead. Suddenly Purcell needed a jack or queen. The {6-Clubs} on the turn was neither, but the {J-Spades} on the river gave him the straight to take down the pot and increase his stack to 355,000. Meanwhile, Jabaley was eliminated from the tournament in 26th place.

Ken Ware Eliminated in 27th Place ($3,142)

Action folded to Ken Ware in the cutoff and he raised to 20,000 with his {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}. Bob Talbot, who had the bigger stack, then moved all in from the big blind with {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. Ware called and was in good shape to double up.

That quickly changed when the flop fell {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{4-Spades}, giving Talbot a pair of aces. Ware needed to catch the last ten in the deck to stay alive. The turn was the {K-Hearts} and the river {2-Spades}. Talbot took down the pot and increased his stack to 300,000 while Ware was eliminated in 27th place.

Ware: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Marshall: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

It was off to the race and Ware took the lead when the flop fell {K-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{J-Clubs}. Marshall needed to catch a five but the {3-Hearts} on the turn was not it. However, the {5-Hearts} on the river was and Marshall doubled to 90,000. Ware took a hit down to 115,000.

Chen is the Bubble Boy

Yong Chen was all in with {A-Spades}{J-Spades} against the {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} of Will "Monkey" Souther. It was a classic race on the money bubble. The flop came down {5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and Chen was in trouble. The {4-Spades} on the turn left him drawing to an ace or jack, but it was the {7-Diamonds}. Chen became the bubble boy while Souther is up to 325,000.

The remaining 27 will be paid, but first they'll need to redraw for seats.
