Chad Brown Crippled, Then Eliminated in 16th Place ($4,680)

After needing to pull a one-outer on the river yesterday to stave off elimination (and doing so), Chad Brown is out. His trip queens weren't quite as good as Max Troy's trip kings, in a hand that went all the way to the river and crippled Brown.

He went out shortly thereafter when his all-in on third street was called by Charles Moore. Brown made jacks up, which were again not quite as good as Moore's kings up.

Brown earns $4,680 for his two-day run.

Pair His Board or Draw an Ace

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Chris Tryba was short and running out of streets. He was all in against Sabyl Landrum. Landrum was not able to connect with anything on her board, showing {J-Spades}

. Tryba was in even worse straits; he showed {J-Diamonds}

for only jack high, but a very good draw: any nine, any diamond, any pair or even any ace would win him the pot. He squeezed the river and drew the {2-Diamonds}

to make a diamond flush and stay alive.

Tryba is up to 45,000 in chips.

Lucky You

Bryan Devonshire recently made three open jacks on sixth street against Chris Tryba's board of {4-Spades}

. Tryba folded to Devonshire's bet on sixth, remarking, "It must be nice to be you."

Devonshire answered, "It is," as he raked in the pot.

Recent Eliminations

Ryan Nicholson, Joel Fischbein, Charlie Townsend and Chip Jett were all eliminated within a span of about five minutes. Each earns $3,640 for his performance in the tournament.

As Jett was being processed to receive his payout at the cage, the floor supervisor, who had taken his TotalRewards Card and put him in the system, asked him, "Are you related to Chip?"

"I am Chip," Jett answered.

McIntyre Steamrolls Nicholson

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

We only caught up with this hand on sixth street, where Chris McIntyre raised against Ryan Nicholson. Nicholson made the call, then check-called the river. Their boards were somewhat similar:

Nicholson: {A-Clubs}

McIntyre:

But when the betting was done on the river, McIntyre turned over {6-Diamonds}

for a very well-disguised full house.

"You're one lucky sonofab*tch, Chris," Nicholson said after the hand was over. He is now on life support with 12,500 in chips. McIntyre jumped up to 90,000.

Pappas Has "It" in Spades

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Greg Pappas recently picked up a big pot. He started three to a straight flush with {5-Spades}

/

and made his flush by fifth street. He convinced Charlie Townsend to check-call his bets all the way to the river after Townsend made aces up. Townsend never filled, and Pappas' flush was good.

After the hand, Pappas has 58,000 and Townsend has 29,000.

That's a Rapp

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Stefan Rapp has been eliminated from the tournament by Al Barbieri. Rapp completed the bring-in with the {K-Spades}

showing. Barbieri raised, and Rapp called all in.

Rapp: {2-Spades}

/

Barbieri:

/

Rapp did get a chance to sweat it. By the time the river card was dealt, he made a pair of kings and four to a flush. Barbieri squeezed his river first, and squeezed the {A-Spades}

to make three aces and kill one of Rapp's spade outs. Rapp squeezed, but he couldn't find a spade and is eliminated in 21st place.
