Don Mullis - 16th Place
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 {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} to be well in front of Mullis' {A-Hearts}{6-Clubs}.

The board ran out {3-Spades}{5-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and Mullis is eliminated in 16th place for $14,821.

Doan now jumps to 365,000 in chips.

Ryan Young Eliminated in 17th Place ($14,821)

Ryan Young - 14th Place
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: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Young: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

Young held the lead but the flop came {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} 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 {K-Clubs} 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 {10-Clubs} 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!

Young collects $14,821 for his efforts.
