Ken Dickensen Eliminated in 11th Place ($11,552)

Ken Dickensen raised from the cutoff and Soheil Shamseddin called from the small blind. The flop was {Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. Shamseddin bet and Dickensen called. The turn was the {2-Spades}. Shamseddin led again, Dickensen raised all in for his last 3,000, and Shamseddin called. Shamseddin held the {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and Dickensen tabled the {J-Spades}{10-Spades}. The {Q-Hearts} sealed the hand for Shamseddin and Dickensen hit the rail.

Level: 18

Blinds: 8,000/15,000

Ante: 0

Blinds Up

Blinds are now 8,000-15,000 with betting limits of 15,000-30,000. 8,000-15,000 blinds may seem strange -- 7,500-15,000 sounds more like it -- but it makes sense as the 500-denomination chips were colored up hours ago.

Speaking of that color-up, Gary Styczynski, who returned from break to find half his chips missing (they were mistakenly placed in Michael Banks' stack), is our current chip leader, with 660,000.

Michael Banks Stays Alive

Brandon Wong raised, Gary Styczynski re-raised and Michael Banks called the rest of his chips from the big blind. The flop was {10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Wong checked and Styczynski checked. The turn was the {5-Clubs} and they both checked again. The river was the {3-Spades} -- check-check again. Wong showed the {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} for ace high, Banks showed the {4-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for a pair of fives, and Styczynski mucked.

Banks was up to 110K after the hand.

The Slowdown

Action had slowed significantly as we're on the final table bubble. Players have been trading small pots back and forth, not wanting to get too heavily involved.

10th place will take home $11,552 and 9th will earn $16,148.
