Play Resumes

[user38449]

The players have returned from break and the cards are in the air.

Of note - the fire alarm went off inside Harrah's during the break, setting off a number of flashing strobe lights around the room, along with a very loud and pulsating warning siren. Fortunately, it was a false alarm and the playing conditions have returned to normal.

Level: 17

Blinds: 5,000/10,000

Ante: 1,000

Chop It Up

[user38449]

Action folded around to Gavin Smith on the button who moved all in for an amount just over 100,000 in chips. David Peters snap-called from the small blind and Damien Oborne tanked for a moment before eventually folding his big blind.

Smith: {K-Hearts}

Peters:

The board ran out {5-Clubs}

and the pot was divided in two. We were unable to find out what Oborne folded pre-flop, but by the look on his face, it appears as though he folded the would-be winner.

Jon Eaton Eliminated in 9th Place ($14,136)

[user38449]

Moments after doubling through Gavin Smith, Jon Eaton put his new chips back into action against David Peters, this time holding {A-Spades}

against the {K-Spades}

of David Peters. Unfortunately for Eaton, the {5-Diamonds}

board gave Peters a rivered Broadway straight which would be good enough to take down the pot.

Eaton picked up $14,136 in prize money for his ninth-place finish.
