Casey Peters Eliminated in 15th Place ($10,310)

Casey Peters raised from the button and Hansu Chu re-raised, putting Peters all in. Peters called and showed {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs} while Chu tabled {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}. The flop was {K-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, pairing Peters' deuce. He'd need an ace or another deuce to win. The turn, however, was the {J-Diamonds}, making Chu's set and leaving Peters drawing dead. The river was the meaningless {3-Spades} and Peters was eliminated.

Brock "tsoprano" Parker Eliminated in 14th Place ($10,310)

Brock Parker raised from UTG and Brandon Wong called from the big blind. The flop was the {10-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}. Wong bet, Parker raised all in, and Wong called. Wong held the {8-Spades}{9-Spades} for an open-ended straight flush draw while Parker was only slightly ahead with his {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}. The turn was a safe card for Parker, the {5-Diamonds}, but the river was a killer -- the {A-Spades}, making Parker's set, but filling Wong's flush.

Wong was up to 502K after the hand.

David Sklansky Eliminated in 13th Place ($10,310)

David Sklansky raised pre-flop, Varouzhan Gumroyan re-raised, and Sklansky called. The flop was {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}. Sklansky bet, Gumroyan raised, and Sklansky called the rest of his chips. Sklansky tabled {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} while Gumroyan flopped top set with {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. The turn was the {7-Spades}, the river was the {Q-Diamonds}, and Sklansky headed home. Do you see why?

Varouzhan Gumroyan was up to 390K after the hand.

Jesse Martin Doubles Up

Jesse Martin was all in for his last 21,000 pre-flop with {2-Spades}{2-Hearts} and was called by Peter O'Donnell with {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. O'Donnell took the lead when he paired his ten on the {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}{10-Spades} flop, but Martin picked up a spade draw on the turn when the {5-Spades} fell. The river gave Martin set with the {2-Diamonds} and he doubled up.
