Ravi Raghavan Eliminated in 11th Place ($6,854)

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Ravi Raghavan
Ravi Raghavan

Ravi Raghavan reshipped for about 350,000 in the small blind, and opener Mark Koeln called in the cutoff with {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. Raghavan was in a good spot with {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs} but that changed in a big way on the {4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop. The {a-Diamonds} gave Raghavan pause, but the {3-Diamonds} river didn't do it for him.

Ian Nelson was happy to call with {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts} on the button but Hoffman showed {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for two pair. The {10-Clubs} turn improved him further, and the river was a {k-Hearts}.

Lucky River for Apter

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Brett Apter bet 36,000 from the button with {4-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} on the felt. Ian Nelson called from under the gun, as did Dean Hoffman in the cutoff. Apter fired again for 110,000 on the {5-Spades} turn and only Nelson continued. The {k-Diamonds} got checked through in a hurry, and Nelson announced a nine. He spiked his cards when Apter rolled over {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.
