Hamnett Wrecks on Shorr

Shannon Shorr
Shannon Shorr
Shannon Shorr raised to 6,700 from the cutoff, and Ben Hamnett shoved all in for 70,500 from the small blind. Shorr made the call.

Hamnett: {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Shorr: {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

The flop came {10-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{8-Clubs} and Hamnett had the lead. The turn was the {A-Hearts}, though, giving Shorr the advantage once again. The {5-Diamonds} on the river didn't save Hamnett, and he's through.

Shorr, meanwhile, trips up to 188,000.

Foltyn Boltin'

Mike McClain raised all in with his last 27,000. Jason Gray called behind him, as did Paul Foltyn from the button.

The flop came {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and both Gray and Foltyn checked. The turn was the {8-Diamonds}, and both checked again.

The river brought the {6-Diamonds}. Gray bet 10,000, Foltyn raised to 30,000, and Gray called.

Foltyn showed {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for the nut flush, and Gray mucked. McClain is out, Gray down to 75,000, and Foltyn up to 330,000.

Burgoine Busts

James Burgoine didn't seem to find a hand for a while and his chips were dwindling away. After being moved to a table with a bunch of short stacks, Burgoine would need to double up a few times to become healthy.

After folding some hands, he shoved in with {A-?} {3-?} for his last 22,000. It folded around to the big blind and Burgoine thought he might get to pick up the blinds and antes, but then the big blind called.

Burgoine went out as he couldn't improve against the big blind's {6-?} {6-?}. The board ran out {J-?} {J-?} {4-?} {3-?} {7-?} and Burgoine would be sent home.

No Big Payday for ElPayaa

Adam Elpayaa and Joe Commisso got involved in some raising back and forth preflop. Commisso made it 6,000 from under the gun and then Elpayaa raised from the big blind to 38,000. The two players got all the money in.

Commisso held {7-Clubs} {6-Clubs} and Elpayaa held pocket eights. The board ran out {K-?} {9-?} {7-?} {6-?} {2-?} and Elpayaa was eliminated.

Acey-Deucey

Jens Klaning and Nathan Sumrall were both recently eliminated after going all in with A-2 versus 8-8. In both cases, the player holding eights made a set (one on the flop, the other on the turn), ending doubt about the hand's outcome early.

We're now down to 55 players.

Elliot Eliminated

Bill Elliot raised under the gun to 6,000 and then Martin Wiklund reraised all in from the small blind after action folded to him. Wiklund had Elliot covered when Elliot made the call.

Elliot: {K-?} {Q-?}
Wiklund: {A-?} {Q-?}

The board ran out {7-?} {6-?} {3-?} {Q-?} {8-?} and Elliot was sent to the rail.
