Jefferson Plain Dominated

Board:
Jefferson is out, and it looks as though Filtz is now our new chip leader on 285,000.
Michael Chrysanthopoulos Crippled
on an ensuing 
board.
Tom Bentham Eliminated... Eventually
and Todd Terry (not, incidentally, the legendary producer of the same name) is holding 
. The board reads 
, and one of them is all in. However, there seems to be some confusion over which one of them it is. Eventually, after some counting and re-counting of stacks, it is determined that Terry does not have Bentham covered, and he is left with just 3,800, including his small blind for the next hand, all of which he sticks in after an UTG raise from Bill Chen and a call from another player. Chen bet the flop and the other player folded.

Board:
Bentham makes a straight to triple up.
However, it couldn't last -- he was all in again the next hand, and this time his luck ran out and he busted out in 57th place for $5,586.
Minieri Receives "Sick Beat";Chrysanthopoulos Eliminated
A 5-5-3 flop looked to be the end of Chrysanthopoulos, but running kings handed him a lifeline and kept him in the event.
"That's a sick beat, sick, sick," bemoaned the Italian, hopefully tongue in cheek.
However, the miracle comeback didn't occur, Chrysanthopoulos eliminated shortly after when he ran Q-J into the A-J of Cory Albertson with an emphatic A-J-2-8-4 board.
