Draped in the American colors and proudly donning authentic cowboy hat, we have recently lost former World Series Champion Tom McEvoy, who takes home $4,574 in prize winnings.

No Seventh Evan for Jarvis

[user4144]
[user4144]
As seems to be the current trend, we've experienced another preflop all-in, the result this time being the exit of Evan Jarvis at the hands of Glen Bean. Although Evan's A-T spiked a ten on the T-Q-2 flop, it wasn't quite enough, Bean and his pocket kings surviving a deuce turn and jack river to scoop the pot.

Bro, What Did You Do That For?

Eugene Todd is NOT happy, and it's not the mere fact that he's been eliminated. Rather he's most upset about the manner in which he exited.

Todd and Al Barbieri saw a {2-Clubs} {9-Spades} {7-Hearts} flop, and Todd was most pleased - he was holding {9-Clubs} {9-Hearts} for top set, and bet 16,000. Barbieri called.

The turn was the innocuous {4-Clubs} -- Todd reasonably put himself all in for 20,000. Barbieri called--with nothing. He had called on the flop with nothing. He flipped over {A-Clubs} {6-Clubs}.

River: {K-Clubs}

Suddenly Barbieri had the nut flush and Todd had a ticket out of the tournament. Yikes.

A Steicke Situation

David Steicke has fallen, with Harry Thomas Jr showing him absolutely no mercy, first crippling him with pocket jacks that held up against Steicke's A-K, and then next hand knocking him out.

Desperate with just a token 3,000 left after losing the coin flip, Steicke stuck his microstack in with {K-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} and Thomas called with {A-Hearts} {3-Clubs}, which duly hit the {10-Spades} {A-Spades} {5-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} board, just to make sure.

No Close Schaef for Schaefer

[user4144]
[user4144]
Brandon Schaefer has doubled up courtesy of Brent Bibby. All the chips went in on a flop of {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} with Brandon's {J-Clubs}{J-Spades} in cracking shape against Brent's inferior {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}, the blank {Q-Diamonds} and {A-Hearts} turn and river merely rubbing salt in already painful wounds.

Brandon now on 80,000.

Noah's W-Ark(ing)

[user46392]
[user46392]
Ok, getting a bit desperate with the pun attempts on the titles, but Noah Schwartz seems to have exited at some point, inconsiderately leaving his player card somewhere so our reporters didn't notice he busted. Bad Noah. That's a Schwartz mark against his name from your bloggers. :)
