Ryan Young - 14th Place
Stewart Newman opened with a raise to 22,000 and John Phan made the call in the small blind. Ryan Young then shoved over the top for around 100,000. Newman made the call and Phan stepped aside.
Newman:
Young:
Young held the lead but the flop came to the delight of Newman as he snagged a two-outer on the flop to take the lead.
Newman's delight quickly turned to despair when the fell on the turn to give Young the re-suckout and the lead in the hand once again.
No sooner had Young thought that his day would continue, the fell on the river to the jaw-dropping groans of the rail who had just witnessed a brutal two-outer, two-outer, one-outer combination to send Young home in complete shock. Wow!
Don Mullis - 16th Place
Thuyen Doan opened with a raise to 20,000 and Don Mullis moved over the top for all of his 140,000 chip stack. Doan thought for a few minutes and eventually said, "Ok, I have to call."
Doan tabled to be well in front of Mullis' .
The board ran out and Mullis is eliminated in 16th place for $14,821.
During the break, Dale Pinchot has come over with Allen Kessler and Pinchot is demanding to see the floorman. Pinchot claims that he and Richard Tatalovich went out at the same time. Since there was a jump in money between 19 and 18, Pinchot claims that he should get the superior position. Allen Kessler is claiming that 19th and 18th place money should be split between the two.
The floorman explained that since we were not in hand-for-hand mode, this does not qualify as a chop situation. The debate continues as we head into the next level of play.
