Collins Puts a Dent in Sekhon

We caught up to find the board reading {7-Hearts}{5-Spades}{10-Clubs}{J-Clubs}. Michael Collins checked over to Sonny Sekhon who fired out 275,000 into an already fairly large pot. Collins wasted no time announcing that he was all in over the top and Sekhon opted to lay down his hand. With this win Collins is up to about 1.65 million while Sekhon has fallen to 2.25 million.

Youngman Eliminated by Sullivan

A short stacked Jamie Youngman moved all in from early position and was called by Glenn Sullivan on the button. The blinds folded and the hands were shown to be racing:

Youngman: {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}
Sullivan: {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

Sullivan picked up additional heart outs on the {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{K-Hearts} flop and even more outs with a king or nine when the {6-Clubs} hit the turn. The {k-Clubs} dropped down on the river putting two pair on the board and canceling out Youngman's pocket fours. Sullivan's kings and sixes with an ace kicker was the best hand and Youngman was eliminated from play.

Lim Can't Win Race; Eliminated

David Lim was all in and at risk before the flop holding {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}. Lim was racing against Nick Halvorson's {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} who made the call of Lim's all in.

Halvorson paired up on the {K-Spades}{6-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} flop and never relinquished his lead through the {Q-Diamonds} turn and the {4-Diamonds} river. Lim was eliminated in 20th place meaning that we're one elimination away from being down to the final two tables.

Pecaski Gone; St. Clair Becomes Chip Leader

Tyler St. Clair opened with a raise to 85,000 from under the gun. David Pecaski looked down at his cards from the next seat over and announced all in for 770,000 total. It folded back to St. Clair who took a deep breath and announced a call.

St. Clair: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}
Pecaski: {J-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

St. Clair jumped into the lead on the {7-Spades}{5-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} flop and suddenly Pecaski was at risk for his tournament life. The {4-Hearts} on fourth street was of no help and he needed a jack on the river to stay alive. The river was the {6-Clubs}, though, and he was sent home in 19th place.
