Guy Cicconi Eliminated in 61st Place

Shawn Van Asdale raised to 4,200 from late position Guy Cicconi potted to 13,000 on the button. Van Asdale moved all in and Cicconi called for his tournament life with {8-Clubs} {8-Spades} . Van Asdale flipped over {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} and they were of to the races.

The board came {Q-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {K-Spades} {7-Clubs} giving Van Asdale a pair of kings, eliminating Cicconi from the tournament in 61st place.

Shawn Van Asdale - 86,500.

Justin Scott Exits

Roland De Wolfe opened the pot to 3,200 from middle position before Blake Stepp bumped the action to 10,000 from the button.

With the action on Justin Scott in the big blind, he pushed all in for his last 15,300. De Wolfe flashed his cards to his fellow table mate before disgustingly folding as Stepp made the call.

Stepp: {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Scott: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}

The flop of {7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{3-Spades} kept Scott in the lead with his Ace-high and nut-flush draw, but when the {5-Clubs} and {3-Clubs} fell on the turn and river he would be forced to exit the tournament as Stepp chipped up to just under 100,000 in chips.

De Wolfe Clips Sebok

Leaking chips early
Leaking chips early
Joe Sebok opened the pot to 4,000 with Roland De Wolfe making the call on the button.

The flop of {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{J-Spades} brought about a 6,000-chip bet from Sebok to which De Wolfe commented, "tell me you have King-Queen . . . just be a nice guy one time"

Sebok sat there fairly emotionless before De Wolfe jumped in saying, "but I'm going to raise the pot" and with that Sebok's cards instantly went into the muck.

"I'll show you for $20 . . . anyone, anyone?"

No one obliged and De Wolfe climbed to 58,000 as Sebok slipped to 19,000 as he quickly stated he had a pair of nines.

Everett Carlton Eliminated; Vinsant Moves to 145,000

Jeremiah "Believer82" Vinsant raised to 3,800 from late position and both blinds called. The flop rolled out {J-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {9-Hearts} . John-Paul Kelly checked the small blind and Everett Carlton moved all in for 11,400 from the big blind. Vinsant called and Kelly got out of the way.

Carlton: {9-Spades} {8-Hearts}
Vinsant: {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}

The turn paired the board with the {J-Hearts} and the river brought the {6-Spades} eliminating Carlton from the tournament.

Vinsant - 145,000.

Jacob Bazeley Doubles Up

After a series of raises, Jacob Bazeley was all in before the flop with {7-Hearts} {7-Clubs} against the {J-Clubs} {J-Spades} of Phillip Yeh.

The flop came {Q-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {7-Spades} allowing Bazeley to come from behind and catch a set. The turn brought the {K-Diamonds} giving Yeh an open ended straight draw, but the {10-Spades} on the river closed the hand, and Bazeley doubled up to 42,000 with a set.
