Raphael Zimmerman Eliminated in 31st ($10,922)

Raphael Zimmerman
Raphael Zimmerman
In a huge pot between Zimmerman and Andy Bloch, Zimmerman has been eliminated in 31st.

Both players had over 100,000 in chips when the hand began, with Bloch having Zimmerman covered. Bloch raised to 6,000 from UTG preflop, and Zimmerman reraised all-in for over 100K from the big blind. Bloch called.

Zimmerman: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Bloch: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}

The board ran out {5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, and Bloch's jacks held up. Bloch currently has around 251,000, making him the current chip leader.

Phil Tom Eliminated in 30th ($10,922); George Abdallah Eliminated in 29th ($10,922)

Isaac Haxton has just busted two players in a single limit hand.

A lot of betting preflop put most of George Abdallah's chips and all of Phil Tom's chips in the middle. The flop came {6-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Clubs}, and Abdallah's call of Haxton's bet put the rest of his chips in as well.

Haxton turned over pocket eights. Abdallah had A-10. Tom had A-Q.

The turn was the {4-Spades} and the river the {J-Hearts}, and Haxton sent both players packing. As Abdallah had more chips than Tom when the hand began, Abdallah technically finishes a spot higher than Tom, although both receive the same prize money.

Haxton now has 210,000.

Table Redraw

We are down to 27 players, so they are redrawing to three tables. The next nine players to be eliminated will each receive $12,483 for their efforts.

Big Hand Between Bloch and Bonomo

Bloch, Bonomo, and a third player saw a flop of {5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. It checked to Bonomo who bet 20,000, and both Bloch and the third player called. All three checked the turn card, the {7-Clubs}.

The river brought the {2-Spades}. It checked to Bonomo who bet 55,000, Bloch called, and the third player folded. Bonomo showed pocket tens and Bloch mucked.

Bonomo is up to 270,000.
