Mel Judah Eliminated in 20th Place ($7,145)

Matt Lefkowitz limped in for 4,000 from UTG. The action was folded to Mel Judah in the small blind, who raised. Lefkowitz three-bet and Judah called. The flop was {10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, Judah tossed his last 2,000 into the pot and Lefkowitz called. Judah showed the {A-Hearts}{2-Spades}{J-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} while Lefkowitz held the {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}. The turn was the {10-Hearts}, the river was the {4-Clubs}, and Lefkowitz scooped the pot with A-2-3-4-7 for low and aces up for high.

Jan Sorensen Eliminated in 18th Place ($7,145)

The action was capped pre-flop between Josh Arieh, Jan Sorensen, and the player on the button. The flop was {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{6-Hearts}. Sorensen checked, Arieh bet, the button called, and Sorensen called. The turn was the {Q-Spades}. Sorensen bet, Arieh called, and the button folded. The river was the {4-Spades}. Sorensen bet and Arieh called.

Arieh showed the {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} and Sorensen mucked as he headed to the rail.

When one more player busts, we'll have a money jump to $8,273.

Mickey Seagle Eliminated in 17th Place ($7,145)

On fifth street, Josh Arieh bet out and Mickey Seagle called. However, Arieh thought that Seagle said "all-in" when he actually said "call." The two argued about it for a moment, before Seagle threw up his hands and said "fine, all-in!" and tossed the rest of his chips into the pot.

Seagle's final board read {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts} while Arieh's was {2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. Arieh's seven-high straight and 2-3-4-5-6 low was good to scoop and Seagle was eliminated.

Cyndy Violette Eliminated in 16th Place ($8,243)

Cyndy Violette suffered a terrible beat on the river to be eliminated by Tom Schneider. Violette's jacks and fours were good for high on sixth street, until Schneider rivered a set of threes. Neither player made a low and Violette headed to the rail.

Violette has had very strong WSOP showings the last three years, and she's continuing the trend with two cashes in the first four days of the 2007 WSOP.
