Jeff Courtney Eliminates An Tran

After seeing a {10-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {2-Spades} flop An Tran moved in for his last 60,000 and Jeff Courtney made the call. Courtney possibly thought his {A-Clubs} {4-Clubs} needed some help but when Tran turned over {7-Clubs} {6-Clubs} Jeff found that he was actually in the lead. The {A-Diamonds} on the turn sealed Tran's fate and he was eliminated, while Courtney chipped up to 140,000.

Marco Adams Eliminated

Action folded around to Marco Adams in the cutoff seat and he moved all in for 22,000. When it got to Scott Sitron in the big blind, he went into the tank. With 8,000 already in the pot, Sitron agonized over the call, at one point saying "man my hand is bad." He eventually called however and the players showed:

Adams: {5-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}
Sitron: {10-Clubs} {3-Spades}

The board ran out {J-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {9-Spades} and Adams was eliminated. Sitron is now a force with about 590,000 chips.

Aneel Choppa Eliminated

Action folded around to Aneel Choppa in late position and he moved all in for approximately 50,000. Lars Nielsen called from the small blind and the players showed:

Choppa: {J-Clubs} {J-Spades}
Nielsen: {A-Spades} {K-Clubs}

It was a race situation and Choppa came up short as the board fell {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {5-Clubs}. Choppa hit the payout line and Nielsen stacked a pot bringing his total chip count to about 155,000.

Anders Fraulund Eliminates Vanessa Rousso

Vanessa Rousso raised to 20,000 and Anders Fraulund called from the big blind. The flop came {6-Spades} {7-Spades} {6-Hearts} Rousso checked and Fraulund chose not to mess around with bet sizing and moved all in for 185,000. Rousso made the call for her last 135,000 and found that her {9-Spades} {9-Hearts} were up against Fraulund's {K-Spades} {J-Spades}. The {Q-Diamonds} brought Anders no help but he caught the {Q-Spades} on the river to make his flush and eliminated Vanessa. He's now up to around 330,000.

Dan Heimiller Eliminates Bryan Byerly

As our chip leader Dan Heimiller threw his weight around and made a huge 200,000 raise from late position and Bryan Byerly looked him up from the small blind and committed his last 60,000 with {A-Clubs} {J-Spades}. Heimiller held {K-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} and after missing on the {2-Clubs} {6-Spades} {9-Spades} flop Heimiller caught the {7-Hearts} on the turn to take the lead and the {7-Diamonds} to win the hand. He's now up to around 580,000 and Byerly is out of the tournament.
