Matthew Hankins Eliminated in 27th Place ($7,961)

Level 24 : 7,000/14,000, 2,000 ante

Dane Cass was just eliminated in 28th place after running {K-Diamonds}{10-Spades} into Ray Weaver's {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} and failing to improve. And before the three-table redraw could happen, Matthew Hankins was eliminated in 27th place on the neighboring table.

Hankins had first lost a significant percentage of his small stack with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} versus Larry Gurney's {6-Spades}{6-Hearts} when the {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} board failed to improve Hankins's hand.

Soon after that one, Hankins was all in with {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} versus James Kinney's {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. The community cards brought five spades — {Q-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}{J-Spades} — meaning the spade in Kinney's hand gave him the flush and the best hand, knocking out Hankins.

There will be a brief pause while the final 26 players redraw for new seats.
