Josh Tieman - 9th Place
Josh Tieman - 9th Place
From early position, Josh Tieman opened the pot with a raise to 31,000. The bet passed around the table to Jason Somerville who capped his cards and shot a glance across the table. After some thought, he reraised to 256,000. The button and both blinds ducked out, but Tieman made the call, putting himself all in and at risk of elimination.

Showdown
Tieman: {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs}
Somerville: {10-Spades} {10-Clubs}

The race was on for Tieman's tournament life. The board was unfriendly to him though, running out {6-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {8-Spades}. Somerville's tens held up, winning the race and sending Josh Tieman off to the payout desk to collect 9th-place money, worth more than $17,000.

Somerville is up to 700,000 on the nose.
