John McNabola Eliminated in 11th Place ($14,425)

Level 28 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
John McNabola - 11th Place
John McNabola - 11th Place

In his mid-fifties, John McNabola has been the oldest player left among those left for a while, and after making a few moves during the last couple of hours Kevin Saul had begun referring to him as the "cagey veteran." His mustache, eyeglasses, and frequently smiling face also earned him a few playful references to Ned Flanders from the others, too, which everyone including McNabola has been laughing about some.

Just now an innocuous-looking hand arose in which McNabola limped in from the small blind, Saul checked from the BB, and the flop came {4-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. McNabola checked, and when Saul bet 75,000, McNabola check-raised to 200,000.

"The cagey veteran... Ned Flanders..." said Saul with a grin. Then he declared he was reraising all in, and McNabola called more quickly than you can say yes-indeedly-doodly.

McNabola: {7-Diamonds}{5-Spades} (two pair)
Saul: {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts} (fours, a flush draw, and an open-ended straight draw)

McNabola was ahead, but had tons of outs to fade, with the {2-Hearts} landing on the turn being one of them. The river was the {9-Hearts}, and Saul won the huge pot. He then shook McNabola's hand and congratulated him for his play today as McNabola departed.

The final 10 players are now redrawing for the not-quite-final final table, where Kevin Saul will be enjoying a sizable chip lead when play resumes.
