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.

Tom Gleason - 8th Place

William Looper opened to 85,000 from under the gun, and the action folded to Tom Gleason, who three-bet jammed for 850,000 from the cutoff. The button and blinds released, and Looper snapped it off.

Gleason turned over {q-Hearts}{q-Spades} again, but he was crushed by Looper's {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}.

The kings held as the board ran out {7-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, and Gleason was eliminated in eighth place.

Big Shove from Hyden

Taken For a Loop

Level 29 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

The flop read {9-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and David Grandieri checked. William Looper tossed out 95,000 only to have Grandieri check-raise to 235,000.

Looper would not be deterred, though, as he came right back over the top for 675,000 total. Grandieri quickly released and Looper took down the pot. Looper has roughly 3.45 million to Grandieri's 950,000.

Rotten Tamayos

Jonathan Tamayo opened to 85,000 in middle position, David Grandieri three-bet to 170,000 on the button, Tamayo made the call.

Tamayo checked after the dealer fanned {q-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, Grandieri fired 155,000, and Tamayo check-raised to 325,000. Grandieri tanked for a but, then folded.

Grandieri, who had just won a nice-sized pot off of Clint Tolbert, dropped down to around 1.05 million chips, while Tamayo now sits with roughly 2.7 million.

Luke...I Am Your Double

Level 29 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

A short-stacked Luke Graham moved all in before the flop for his last 185,000. It folded around to William Looper's big blind and he called.

Graham: {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Looper: {9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}

The board fell {4-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}{7-Spades} and Graham's ace-high finished as the best hand, securing Graham a double to about 410,000.

Graham: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

Hyden's hand was crushed, and Graham doubled as the board ran out {8-Spades}{k-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades}{5-Diamonds}.
