Nancy Birnbaum Eliminated in 9th Place ($19,276)

Level 29 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Nancy Birnbaum - 9th Place
Nancy Birnbaum - 9th Place

Nancy Birnbaum open-shipped all in for her last 290,000 from the hijack and was quickly called by Jonathan Tamayo from the next seat over. The rest of the table folded and the hands were rolled over.

Birnbaum: {A-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Tomayo: {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Birnbaum needed help but had her hopes dashed when Tomayo paired on the {5-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop. The {9-Diamonds} on the turn sealed her fate and the {6-Diamonds} on the river gave her a meaningless pair. She will collect $19,276 for her efforts.

Three Streets of Maximum Value

Level 28 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Chris Hyden
Chris Hyden

Chris Hyden opened to 60,000 from middle position, and the action folded to David Grandieri, who defended his big blind. The dealer fanned {10-Spades}{q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, Grandieri checked, and Hyden continued for 75,000. Grandieri tank-called.

The turn was a repeat seven - the {7-Clubs} - and Grandieri checked again. Hyden fired a second bullet worth 130,000, and Grandieri called again.

The {4-Hearts} completed the board, and Grandieri checked a third and final time. Hyden tanked for the better part of 30 seconds, then announced that he was all in. The bet was for 500,000 exactly, and Grandieri reached for blue T100,000 chips, tossing forward five of them.

Hyden ripped over {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a turned full house, and WSOP tournament rules dictate that Grandieri must show his hand. He turned over {j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for a pair of tens.

Hyden now has 1.575 million chips, while Grandieri plummeted down to 1.265 million.

The queens held as the board ran out {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{a-Spades}, and Carter was eliminated.

Timothy Harrell shipped in his last roughly 350,000 before the flop and Tom Gleason quickly called. The blinds got out of the way and the hands were tabled.

Harrell: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

Gleason took the lead on the {9-Spades}{Q-Spades}{7-Clubs} flop and never released his grip as the {6-Clubs} turned and the {K-Diamonds} rivered. Harrell will collect $15,497 for his efforts. His elimination prompted a full re-draw to the unofficial final table of 10.

Jon Godwin - 13th Place
Jon Godwin - 13th Place

Jon Godwin open-shoved his last 230,000 or so on the button, and David Grandieri instantly called in the big blind.

Godwin: {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Grandieri: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

The {5-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} took away two of Godwin's outs, and the {7-Clubs} on the turn gave Grandieri a flush. Godwin could still survive with a five or a seven on the river, but the {j-Hearts} completed the board.

Godwin is off to the cage to collect his winnings, while Grandieri now has 2.3 million chips.

Gleason: {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

Gleason jumped out into the lead when he paired up on the {Q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. Drager was now hunting for an ace but did not find it as the {3-Diamonds} turned and the {9-Diamonds} rivered. Drager will take over $12,613 for his efforts while Gleason has increased his stack to about 1.2 million.

Chris Hyden raised in the hijack seat, Bryan Campanello three-bet shoved for 270,000 on his direct left, and the action folded back to Hyden, who called.

Hyden: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Campanello: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The two were off to the races, but Hyden's tens "outran" Campanello's overcards as the board came {q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{2-Spades}. Campanello will collect a little over ten grand for his efforts, while Hyden now sits with 625,000 chips.

Tom Gleason open-shoved for 291,000 from early position, and the action folded to David MacDonald, who quickly called in the big blind.

Gleason: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
MacDonald: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

The {8-Hearts}{q-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop missed MacDonald, but the {3-Hearts} on the turn gave him a flush draw. The {q-Clubs} bricked on the river however, and Gleason doubled to around 600,000 chips.

The very next hand, William Looper opened to 31,000 from middle position. MacDonald called in the small blind, Nancy Birnbaum three-bet to 114,000 from the big blind, and Looper folded. MacDonald moved all in four 275,000 total, and Birnbaum snapped it off.

MacDonald: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Birnbaum: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

The kings held as the board ran out {5-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, and MacDonald was eliminated.
