David Bergerson Eliminated in 11th Place ($14,175)

[user66118]

Action passes around the table to Allen Cunningham in the small blind. He limps in, and David Bergerson raises the pot from the big. Cunningham plays back, reraising the pot, and Bergerson calls all in.

He tables {Q-Spades}

, and is live against the {A-Spades}

of Allen Cunningham. The door begins to close quickly though, as the flop comes {A-Clubs}

. The turn and river come down {7-Diamonds}

and

.

Bergerson fails to catch up, and he is eliminated in 11th place. For his work over the last two (very long) days, he will be awarded $14,175.

Now that we are down to ten players, the two tables have been combined into one, and we'll play for one more knockout.

David Penly Eliminated in 10th Place ($14,175)

We have an all in and a call!

David Penly and Kyle Kloeckner got it all in preflop, with Penly at risk of elimination. The hands were turned over:

Kloeckner: {A-Clubs}

Penly:

The board ran down {J-Clubs}

. With that loss, David Penly has fallen from the mid-day chip lead to final table bubble boy. He will take away $14,175 for his work over the last two days.

Play Concludes With Nine

[user66118]

Today began with 85 hopefuls competing for the final nine spots here in Event #24. Play was lively early, and things were progressing at a reasonable pace for a couple of hours. When the money bubble hit though, play ground to a near-halt. Even when we got past the bubble, it seemed the players were uninterested in seeking out big confrontations. That trend became even more apparent as we approached the final table bubble. Eliminations have been extremely few and far between for several hours now. Finally, just after 5:00am local time, the field has been narrowed to the lucky nine who will return tomorrow to play for the bracelet.

Kyle Kloeckner will be our chip leader to start play tomorrow, sitting with 494,000 chips. There are a few players hot on his heels though -- including Allen Cunningham with 484,000 -- and it really is anyone's game at this point. This last table of ten players tonight gave us a little glimpse of what to expect. If it is any indication, tomorrow's table will be quite serious in nature, and quite a hard-fought battle for whoever comes out on top.

Join us tomorrow (today) at 3:00pm local time from the ESPN arena in the Amazon Room as we seek out our champion and award the 24th bracelet of the year!
