Jean-Claude Perrot Eliminated in 19th Place ($18,144)

Jean-Claude Perrot - 19th Place
Jean-Claude Perrot - 19th Place
From the small blind, big stack Jamie Rosen raised enough to put small blind Jean-Claude Perrot all in. Perrot obliged him, and called with his full stack, tabling {A-Clubs} {5-Spades}. Rosen showed down {10-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}.

When you're hot, you're hot, and the flop proved that Rosen has a big stack for a reason. It dropped {6-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}, ending the hopes of Perrot right there. The turn and river were a useless {4-Spades} and {9-Hearts} respectively. Perrot will head for the cashier, where he'll pick up a check for more than $18,000.

Froehlich Takes Care of Hoang

Eric Froehlich has just eliminated John Hoang from the field. With the table seven-handed Froehlich pushed all in preflop with {A-Spades} {8-Spades} and Hoang called with {J-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}.

The flop was harmless for Hoang as it came {6-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {4-Clubs} but the river spiked the {A-Hearts} and put Froehlich in the lead. Hoang needed a jack or a club on the river, but was unable to achieve such a feat as the {5-Spades} secured the pot for Froehlich.

Podlewski Hits the Slopes

Chris Podlewski has been eliminated by Curt Kohlberg after the two put all the chips in on a board that read {9-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {6-Clubs}. Podlewski turned {A-Clubs} {K-Spades} and Kohlberg had {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}.

Podlewski was ahead after the flop but it was the turn that proved to be fatal as the {Q-Spades} hit the board and the river blanked.

After stacking the pot Kohlberg has 485,000

Mark Seif is Done

Phung Ngo and Mark Seif get all their chips in preflop, with Seif being the one at risk of elimination.

Ngo: {A-Spades} {A-Clubs}
Seif: {9-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}

The betting action is complete, so the dealer runs out the board: {K-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {7-Clubs}. Mark Seif fails to find a come-from-behind card, and he is eliminated a short time after having the chip lead.

JC Tran has been eliminated after he lost two hands in a short period a time. The first hand saw Tran losing 75% of his stack to Max Greenwood when Greenwood turned over pocket kings to trump Trans pocket eights.

The final hand for Tran came when he pushed all in from the small blind with {K-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} and was called by Rene Mouritsen with {7-Hearts} {7-Spades} in the big blind.

The board came {7-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {9-Clubs} and Tran was eliminated.

Seif On the Downswing

Before the flop, Mark Seif puts in an opening raise to 17,000. Jesse Chinni reraises to 46,000, and Seif calls. The flop reveals {3-Spades} {9-Clubs} {6-Hearts}. Seif checks and Chinni puts out 70,000. Seif check-raises all in for more than 300,000, and Chinni makes the call.

Seif: {10-Clubs} {10-Hearts}
Chinni: {A-Clubs} {A-Hearts}

The turn and river are {8-Hearts} and {2-Clubs}, failing to improve Seif. He gets a rebate of 107,000 chips, but that's all he has left after losing that big pot.
